Have you ever heard of Ice racing? I would have thought you have since you are such a pred buff and Rath is an avid pro ice racer.

Ignorance is always plentiful on these fourms.

 

No, I wasn't serious. I'm just making a point that if 90% of the discussions on here about UTILITY (I can't stress enough) ATV's is how fast they are top speed, then it is really no different than take a poll on how much utility work a racer can do. You know what I'm talking about "Well my praire is a better UTILITY quad than the polaris because it does 73mph and the polaris does 72mph." Just seems ignorant thats all.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

However, the Banshee is going to handle that snow plow way better. I mean come on two cylinders, weighs a little more and my Dad's 2nd Cousin from the Jibwauku has a friend who's ex-wife’s brother lives in Backwater Florida. That feller says the Banshee works great in the snow, keeps his drive way spotless all year. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Whoa...the prarie goes 73 stock? and the 700efi goes 72?? I didnt know that! lol [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Where did you get them speeds from??

 

He was "quoting" people who determine the quality of their utility atv by its top speed. He was not specifying those exact numbers to the quads, just using it as an example.

 

The fastest my Grizzly has gone, bone stock, is 94 mph. Ok, it was in the back of my truck but you didn't specify. Really, the fastest it has gone is 69 with the wind at my back.

I wouldn't put any money on either the Banshee or the 250R pushing any snow (withought chains). They're too light and their wheels would just spin as soon as you put the blade down.

 

Thank you maddog56 that is correct. I agree with you starky, I think you'd be better off spinning the snow out of the driveway than pushing it. These people that rate their UTILITIES higher because they top out at 1 or 2 mph faster just really don't realize how ignorant they sound. It sure is noticed immediately when a person asks the wrong questions about the catagory a racer should be tested on. Just a thought.

 

So you are saying my banshee wouldnt be a good machine to plow snow with this winter? D@MNIT!

 

No, but put chains on it and see how much fun you have. I put them on my Raptor and I swear i had a 50 foot roostertail behind me.

 

ooooo Chains on a Banshee.. that does sound fun [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
