Well I did a nice ride today in some really muddy and steep areas. I was totally surpized by the performance and I am really liking the IRS. At one point I went over a steep hill and came to a big ditch. If I had been forced to go forward it would have been real trouble. I put it in reverse but honestly did not think it would back up such a steep incline. Well to my surprise it backed up with no problem without even locking the diff up.

 

Oh yeah! Mine does great also. My buddy and i was making some new trails yesterday thier were times when we could not go forward any more (he has a 750BF) and he could not get his four wheel drive kicked in because it has not moveing. I had no problem with the Kodiak.It surprises me every time i take it out.
