Hello All,

This is my first post on this site, and what a site it is! I recently bought a 2002 Big Bear 400 4X2 and it has 50 miles on it. How good will this get around in the woods? I will not be doing very much mudding, mostly trail riding and some in the snow. If I buy chains for this will it get around ok? Thank You in advance for your replies.

You will like it here if you have any questions everybody is real helpful and knows what they are talking about. 4x2 big bear should go good on trails I never really had any experience with them I hear they are good utility quads.My buddy has a 2 wheel drive lakota it goes great on trails he uses chains in the winter but never when there isnt any snow. Buy a good set of back tires and you shouldnt have any problems.

 

So is it realistic that if I chained up I would be fine on trails with a foot of snow? It seems to climb well on steep hills, my only worry is snow. Thanks for the help, and what an awesome site!

 

oh. come on, you're in washington!
everyone else knows snow is white!!! that brown stuff is mud from all that rain dude! lol
sorry, you be on the dry side like i am, just down the road in BEND.
you should have a great time in the snow, but remember, like with a 4X4, if ya dont think you can make it, better to not try it if you're the lone rig.....

have fun! cya ;p

shoot me a email nad i'll give ya the names of some guys i know who like that woods and snow stuff.....
