best atv for the mud

[Bleedsblue]

Nope Bill, You have a set of Mud Bugs also. There plenty aggressive, just not as much as outlaws. I go almost anywhere and then some with them. The only difference that I have seen that I may want outlaws are in Georgia where its all gray clay, and the extra side tread would kake the difference in those ruts when you bottom out. I may have said that most people running 800s have outlaws and break things because the 800 has so much power that they break things after they get in the thick mud and go down. I love the mud bugs and have followed them all. most of the time in two wheel drive.

Technically I don't have them yet they are on order for the Rhino and they are more for trail riding but still have to be somewhat capable of going through some mud. They aren't even close to as agressive as Outlaws and if you think you can follow Outlaws then you aren't following the right people or sticking to the easy stuff. As for Polaris breaking parts it doesn't matter what they have in them they still break way too often. I've owned one before and I seen more than my fair share of them broken.

MadMudder, the whole point of the thread is to give experiences that is why the question is asked. I don't own or never have owned an Arctic Cat or Kawi but from my experience with others I know they are very capable machines. I have owned and still do own a Suzuki and now a Yamaha as well.

Bill, You need to come to L-cross sometimes. Most will tell you that I will Put mine in the bad stuff. Maybe it will warm up so we can get there a little more often. Plus since its so far for us we try to go to the adult events. Polaris works for me and does a good job at it. Gonna get a yamaha rhino next but thats only because they are a little smaller then the ranger and they are very good vehicles. Gonna keep the polaris' also.

Well i guess we all have our own opinions on which is best. I personally like my rubicon with 27x12x12 Mudzillas all the way around.This thing goes everywhere leaves all others behind.as for the rincon well my rancher with 26x12x12 mudlites goes better than the rincon and goes way more places without getting stuck. Put a jet kit in it and did not lose power with these tires. But, hey thats just my 2 cents

Im not sure why this got bumped back up but we had a set of 27X12X12 bearclaws installed on our polairs and OMG what a difference. I dont want to go aginst my own comment about saying what you drive but from personal exprience, but, all quads have their faults. The reason you dont see allot of hondas in the shop is that they dont have allot of moving parts? Whats going to break on a SRA? Unless you snap the axle or something then your fine. Our polairs has had no problems since the tires but we have had to put new bearings in the rear and a new axle. But my dad hit a steel 1/2 foot thick burried telephone cable at about 6,000rpms. That might have had something to do with it. But still, if your going to play in the mud stuff is likeley going to break. Most hondas are very basic. Its a air cooled engine and a solid axle. Not much to break. But not allot of ground clerace either. The polaris and arctic kittys that have the irs have to worry about ujoints and cv joints and axles and everything else. But the trade off is more GC. The bottom line is that every quad has its draw backs. If there was a perfect quad then everybody would own it and there would be no need for discussions like this. But there isnt. If you want basic and reliable then honda is down right the best. If you are after more serious performance and things like low range and more GC then a polairs or arctic cat is the better choice. Oh yea another thing to think about is the fact that polaris's 4x4 system is fully locked. The honda system is limited slip. See its crap like this you can talk about till your blue in the face and your fingers fall off. The best advice is just to get something 4x4, put a good set of mud tires on it and go ride. I think thats something we can all agree on?
