Everyone had some great advice and I especially agree with Bridget's post on holding the laterals forward. It's very easy to get used to the springs holding the sticks forward on even terrain. Then when you get on a steep hill and have lots of other things to worry about, it's easy to forget to push all the way forward.
When on a really steep hill I think a lot of people also get worried when they can't make it all the way up because they don't know what to do then. But the easiest thing to do if you find yourself in that situation is to continue to hold the sticks forward and feather the throttle to gradually let yourself back down the hill a little at a time.
Going forward down a really steep hill, it's best to come to a complete stop before it gets to the steep part and slowly let the sticks go a little and then pull back a little, let go a little and then pull back a little and walk yourself down the hill.
You found out the hard way about shifting mid hill. My wife did the same thing this past weekend. It's best to turn sideways if you can so that you don't continue to roll but also use the foot brake if you have one.
Like everyone else said you will gradually become more confident and get to know the six wheeler better. I think the best thing to do is find a small hill and just practice over and over getting braver with each try. Eventually you will be able to show that quad who's boss.
With Amphiman's amphicats they don't run so you never have to worry about getting into situations like that. If a miracle happens and they do run he just puts around the yard anyway.Originally Posted by maxheadroom
sure they run. ask jeff and a few others. hehehe sorry Mike, no t20's
Amphicat borg warners don't leave you with lots of rebuilds or the dangers of trying to shift into reverse on odd hills etc. loosing your control of the aatv(braking)

One & Only San, you much humor.You guys wonder why i have amphicats?alot less "problems" No winch required either...
EVERYTHING that has moving parts has problems eventually. But you have to be moving once in a while to test that theory.
Gotcha!
