I don,t get to use my Max IV as much as I like , because the places I like to take it are between 75- 135 miles away . Another reason is this : Until about two years ago , I did not know any one close to me that had a 6x6 or 8x8 to ride with .
For this reason I mainly rode by myself on 4-wheeler trails . Often times , I would have to use my hatchet and machete to make the trails wider , just to be able to drive through them .
I would ride a little ,,and widen trails a lot . I made my trails as challenging as I could . When ever it rained all of the low spots would fill up with water . After about 3 months of doing this ,, I had some really great trails to drive my Max IV on . My amphibious riding came to an abrupt end though , when a development company bought all of the land we were riding on , and subdivided it into lots for double wide moble homes . Now , since I no longer had any place locally to ride my 6x6 , and no one close with an amphib to ride with , I thought about selling my Max IV several times . I had bought my Max IV new from Recreatives in 2003 , but , by the middle of 2007 , I,d only put 42 hours on it .
I now have two amphibious friends I ride with who like to go when ever they can . I now have a total of 99 hours on my Max IV .
How many hours do you have on your amphib ?
