How about loading the back rack with some weight to counterbalance the weight of the plow. I know the IRS will squat a little bit, but adding weight to the rack is cheap, easy and removable. It works for all the plow trucks out in this neck of the woods.

going forward it goes right up. This is a 2006 machine and I like it .I have plowed snow before
so that is not going to be a problem I use a Skid Steer when it gets deep got this new atv and it hasn't snowed yet.might check on some different tires.
thanks

My new KUBOTA tractor came with a new beet juice formula,that doesnt freeze,and wont rust your rims.I have never heard of any body doing an ATV,but i dont see why it wont work for low ground speeds.There have been a few times i wish my MAGNUM was loaded,might have kept me from being up side down. Fill only 2/3 full max,they sell the adapter kit right at NAPA.

Spyder6 is exactly right. The polaris 4x4 will only be in 2wd when in reverse even if u have 4x4 on unless you push and hold the reverse override button. Then as soon as the rear tires start to spin it will engage the front wheels.

Default fluid in tires

Quite funny to read this thread about fluids in tires.

Polaris' engineers spent hundreds of thousands if not millions setting up your ATV to be (among) the best in the industry.
And then a couple of rednecks like us (not an offense - myself included), are discussing if "we should fill the tires with water" for better traction?

Ofcourse there's always room for smaller or larger hi-tech improvements, as the manufacturer also has to sell accessories and keep the cost down on the stock machines, but if fluid was meant to be in the tires, I think that there something the tire manufacturer's engineers have missed for years. Just a thought...
