Ok, usually the only way to stop a well designed AATV is by a "hang-up", centered high. So how many machines do you know of that have a feature to prevent this? How did they achieve it? I took these pics of one that comes very close. It can haul out a moose out of the bush no problem. The owner told me he was only stopped once. Lets see how knowledgeable our readers are. What is the name of this machine?  |

RAY- That looks like a Grizzly I believe you could get them in 16 or a 24 wheel set-up but heard they don't float very well. I seen one on a video I had trying to get through a mud hole, the mud won so much for P.S.I. on the ground LOL. |

Hahahahaha, you made me laugh Steve (so much for psi on the ground). Your very close actually it is a "Bush Swamper" the Grizzly was made by the same company later on. Ya, the owner said it was very tippy in the water, go figure. It didnt go fast, was only 52" wide came in 16/24 wheels, floatation from tires only, tub was just fender skirts. 2 torque converters, 2 gearboxes, you could put one in forward the other reverse for tight turns. But was high maintenance. This was part of my research before buiding the "Bushwacker" Could have bought it for $750, has a B&S 18 hp.
Well Done Steve! |
