Hands down, The foreman is the best in the mud. It has a very low gear and walks through anything with a locker and some mudzillas or outlaws. A snorkle helps a bunch too when in the deep stuff.

I have a Vinson and it does real good in the mud, I have to pull my buddy's Grizz out all the time. (just kiddin' Warren) My wife's K.Q. does good too but if you get it deep in the water it starts missing like the plug gets wet. Da_Mtg_Man do you have that problem with yours?

Yep, It spits and sputters for a while and then goes away.What also is happening is it is taking water in the belt drive if you don't keep on the throttle. It does pretty good but my Foreman walks all around it. If the wheels are turning the machine is moving. |

Well, theres no polaris or Arctic cat. Those two basically own the mud segiment by todays standards. People say the old honda foremen and ranchers but nowadays IRS is the way to go. The polaris have a locking front differintal on all their quads 300 and up. I don't think any current production honda does that.. Also the air intake is right below the gas tank so it swims very good. BUT... all the polairs models have CVT belt transmissions so it will start to slip if the case goes under. The arctic cats i think though are the absloute best for mud. Close to a foot of ground clerance, manual transmission so there is no slipping, the intake is also up high, and all models from 250-650 have low range. A concept honda has yet to get. The only downside to the kittys is that i don't think that they have a locker. Other than that i say that the arctic cats are the best mud machines right out of the box.  |

Arctic Cat does have a locker on 400 and up i think, i know the 500 and 650 have them due to experiance. Its right by the 4x4 2x4 switch on the right handle bar.
If you snorkle it you dont have to many problems with slipping the belt, mine isnt snorkled yet and hardly ever slips the belt(and ive been in some deeeeeeeep water).
