True, you can't make much of a rut with a 1/4 turn, but the problem is, in snow it doesn't take much to get you stuck. And once you get a rut started it's all over.
The worst thing has got to be pushing the damn things out!
I can almost give my self a heart attack with the Wolverine, my friend with the Rubicon almost always needs help to get out. I can only imagine what torture it must be to unstuck a Sportsman. What makes it even worse is that Sportsman owners almost always load their bikes full of accessories, like the rack extensions, tube bumpers, windshield, and all kind of other do-dads. That all adds up to one hell of a heavy quad to try and push out of the snow.

 

I think the snowmobile industry has nothing to fear about the quad taking over,thats for sure.Hows the snow over there I just took a Picture outside a few minutes ago so you can see what were up against, and thats in town.I have not when out to camp to ride the quad since my last pictures Jan 20th and we have alot more snow than that now.
