Keelam,
Well I've pulled a trailer full of wet grass that weighed alot. So much so when I crossed our gravel driveway the tires were spinning a little from the amount of weight I was towing. So I think really you would lose traction before you would lose power.But then you just put it in 4X4..if that doesn't do it..lock it...So that may not even be a problem..Maybe its unstoppable [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] So yeah the machine would work fine for what you need it to do. It has alot of lowend grunt! Especially like 450Kodman said...when in low gear it has tons of power!

I really like my kodiak. I use it for alot of work around yard. Raking the yard grass with a grass sweep and towing a trailer all around. It works very well. Then for play it is very fun. It can slide around corners and has enough power/speed for me... I had it on the road the other day and It was topping out at about 55. But it doesn't have alot of top end speed but I never usually go faster than 40 so that doesn't matter much to me. It works great out in the trails. Able to take tight spots with ease. Only thing I didn't like was the rear greese zerks on the kody were straight up and down and you couldn't get a grease gun on them so I replaced them with angle zerks. Fixed that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

He will love the machine. Go for it!
