Some video of my HDI on some pretty bad mud trails

[mightymaxIV]

Explored a few new mud trails today and conditions were pretty bad in a lot of areas. Some trick mud in areas that normally have a lot of water. On one extremely bad trail I lost steering, the machine would not move to the right. I thought I lost a chain or blew the transmission and I was wondering how I was going to get the HDI out of this awful area. After a few minutes of playing with everything I found out it was an air bubble in the hydraulic system. Whew-I was still having a difficult time in an unfamiliar area when we and came across three mud trucks, one with a broken drive shaft, one with a broken rear end (these were Hugh well set up trucks with Hugh mud tires). We gave one of the guys a ride in the Argo so we could figure out where we were and how to get out of there. Turns out we were closer to a side road then I ever dreamed and the guys thanked me for my help. Anyway, the mud was awful and so were the trail conditions, Here's a video of some of the areas with most of the really good stuff un filmed because of conditions.

That looks like some nasty mud to get drive in. Do you find much difference between your 6x6 compared to the 8 wheeler?

So you've got 2 machines disabled?

Yes, the 8x8 gets though everything easier and rides a lot smoother, the one thing I miss about a 6x6 is the turning ability. I really miss the Max's ability to lock down one side and to made quick and easy turns.

Hey Norm, I really miss having another machine with me. Seems like twice as much fun when you have some one with you.

Yea Jim, 2 disabled machines, but I have the t20 that was in the max4 all cleaned up and serviced with new 780 clutch and red spring just have to bolt it in the max 2 and it will be 100%. The 27hp motor and trans I bought have very little use, all I have to do is bolt them in, they already have 780 clutches on them(just have to change to red spring) just put all new oring in from mfg(9800lb) tensile so it should stay together. I'm gonna order a suspension seat and should be good to go. I'll be out there soon Dan... Norm...
