how's that?
I've done it for 20 years
so let me get this straight... the weight of the quad when it's not running and resting against the gears is more than the weight of the torque of the motor pulling it up a hill thru all the gears???

I don't get it

 

I've always heard the same thing DSAAP, but I'm with you I have always hauled my quad in gear, and if its caused problems I've never noticed.

 

You can force the tail gate shut no problem....tires will contract a bit.
