I am just afraid that if I fork over the $$$ for Haulers then it would suck if I didn't like them. I like how the Sandstars slide and work for all around duning.
If I only did drag racing I would get Haulers, extended swingarm, Barkers duells and Powercomander. BUT, I plan on using the Rappy for all kinds of riding(even if I do cry when I get it muddy) so I have Sandstars, nerfs bars, Dobeck, Bub exhaust, and saving my money for some stock YFZ rear tires cuz I heard they are decent for the track.
Josh, hope I didn't confuse U even more, but for me it comes down to $$$ and I am happy with what I have, also I have heard others say they won't run their Haulers at Moses so U end having to have a second set of paddles.

I have Hauler Extremes on both my quads and they are great. I can drag, sidehill, treeshot, kickarse on FAST tight trails with no problem. They throw a heck of a roost so it sucks to ride behind anyone with haulers as we all found out this trip. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I would suggest an 8 paddle so you don't lose power and still have plenty of hookup. I have had 22" 9-paddles on my Z for over 3 years and just rode the whole trip with 20" 8-paddle Hauler Extremes on my LTR450. I had no issues getting out of everything I dropped down into. Extremes are a little heavier(not much) and consequently more durable than standard Haulers or ultralights, but for an all around use tire that will last, they are my recommendation. Yes, they are a little more costly, but they do hold up. JMHO.

When I went to rip it up for a while with u half way into it your quad wouldnt move like a stubburn mule...hummm I am seeing a mental picture here of a mule hauling wood behind it on a rope and the man yelling at the mule to move....then next to him a picture of u yelling at ur quad to move as u haul wood...ok so the picture is better then the discription..

Well we went & got a new "toy" yesterday [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] NOPE not a quad [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] haha it's a new lawn tractor [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] the rear end went toast in ours last year after 9 yrs. of tough mowing!! We CAN'T be w/o a rider that's for sure, the yard was beginning to look jungleish LOL, so we were @ Home Depot yesterday & seen this little one, same brand(YardMan) as our old one, it's smaller 13.5HP & 38" cut but the price was RIGHT on sale for $799 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] so we decided we'd better bring it home!!! It's a nice little mower, instead of green/yellow this one is black IT'S HOT [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Ron has already put quad stickers on it LOL, this even has a cup holder on it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] haha so he FINALLY got the jungle mowed YIPEEEEEE [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] cuts real nice so hopefully it'll last as long as the old one, if Wunderboy doesn't flattrack it it should be all good [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

We have one of the Swisher "rough cut" tow behind mowers for keeping the brush, weeds and sagebrush along fence lines and around outbuildings down. Not real good for getting into corners and tight areas. Be really easy to mow the flower garden down without meaning too. Still use a push mower and lawn tractor for the yards. The Swisher Co makes finish cut mowers to 60" wide and the quality is really good. Very happy with the service we have gotten from them. The rough cut will pretty much level most anything the quad will run over.
Swisher does make a front mount deck that goes on a quad that may work for a lawn but I think it would be a bit cumbersome.
