Last weekend just for fun I got in a tug-of-war with a Griz. Both machines were stock and stock tired. Neither machine moved more than foot. Once the tires were spinning we just sat there until we were dug to the axles. It was on grass. The guy on the Griz was working his machine around trying to find some tracksion I just stayed in the same spot throttle pinned.

I`m stumped at how to interpret this. 500 vs 600, 22" tires vs 25" tires and 3 wd vs 4 wd. I`m guessing about same overall weight.

Just curious as to what others think. I don`t care that it was a tie it was just in fun but the results or lack of are strange.

sounds good to me , the Scrambler has a 500 the grizz a 600 but the Scrambler has full time 4x4 while the Grizz has the other kind of 4x4. Maybe they offset each other? you get better bite but he has less bite but more power? should have tried it on tar or hard packed dirt.

 

The scrambler 500 4x4 does not have full time four wheel drive. Theres a little switch on the throttle that makes the machine switch from 2 to 4 wheel drive. Come on bud polaris is known for their 2 to 4 wheel drive capabilities, you should know that. I don't think they make a polaris with full time four wheel drive.

You had the advantage of true 4wd but the Yamaha had the advantage of more weight to the ground.I'm amazed you held your own without a low range for pulling.

 

i'm amazed you belt didn't slip because of no low range!!!!

 

I`m not sure I would have done it with my Bearclaws on but the stock tires don`t hook up as well. It went how I guessed it would they didn`t bite well enough for the belt to slip. I had never slipped a belt before I changed tire but I have now pulling friends out of the mud holes with the Bearclaws on.

I think xepathfinder meant that I had 4wd vs 3wd on the Griz.
