Anyone know if going down a tooth in the front sprocket will make very much of a diffence on this Raptor. I bought it just to have something to ride around with my 7 year old. He got a 2001 Badger. I guess I over did it with the Raptor, I never take the thing out of first or second gear. First gear on this is top speed on the ole' Badger...

 

How about i trade you straight across for a 94 timberwolve, and i will even drive there to do the switch! sound like a deal?

 

I went down to a 12 tooth on the front and up to a 44 on the rear, with 22 inch tires, and it is very manageble in the woods, but yeah, your kid doesn't stand a chance of keeping up with you even in reverse.

Do what I did, and buy your wife a Trailblazer or something completely automatic, and you can put on that with your kid, and have fun on the weekend's with "the boys" on the Raptor.

 

BigCrashChris,
When you put the 44 on the rear of your Raptor, did you have to space the skid plate? It looks close now. Someone posted that they put on a 42 with no problems.

 

Rather than space the skid plate (And create a shovel) I used a metal ban saw to remove enough of the material to allow the chain and sprocket to protrude.

I know that this sounds kind of stupid, but I'm going to have one of the polaris like chain guard's made for my machine, so it tracks through mud better.

I'll post Digital Pic's when I get the project finished.
