Took the 800 out today for its first true test. I along with 2 work mates hit the woods. We rode in Shanty Ridge Hunting Club along the Satilla River in Atkinson, Georgia. There was alot of standing water throughout the club and this is the infamous CLAY HOLE the gets lots of attention. There was a 2005 King Quad, an Artic Cat 500, and my 800. Bothe of them have new Swamp Lite tires and I still have the stockers on mine. We all made it through this hole several times in 4wd but we had a wild hair and tried in 2wd. As you can see it was a no go. It finally got to the point to where we were all bottoming out. The winches really got a work out today. This was my first time riding with them so the made sure they got pics of me being stuck. There is a spot just to the right of this hole that is the same clay but there is a 6' hill just as you come out of the hole. The guy on the KQ flipped his trying to climb the hill so everyone has shyed away from trying. NOT I! I started slow and sunk like a rock. After being winched out I hit it with speed and climbed the hill carrying the front wheels high on the hill. I did pucker up but stayed calm and kept her upright. Look here to see the pics....http://public.fotki.com/msc5195/2006_polaris_sports/ STUCK PICS

 

Great pix looks like fun

 

I cringed when I saw that clay! Have fun cleaning it.
