I,ve been making lots and lots of new trails and also interconnecting existing trails , each and every time I take my Max IV out. I usually cut trails for 5-6 hours each time I go out. Each and every time,that I take my Max out,I am more and more impressed at the places that I am now able to take it with ease.
The places that I now am able to take my Max IV 900T with confidence,continues to amaze me.
In the past,when I owned my Polaris 500 Sportsman,I would have:
1. Hesitated
2. Thought for a while
3. Took very serious consideration
4. Said " NO WAY "
These are now the places I can now take my Max in complete confidence,with out fear of sinking or bogging down in the mud.
Sure, I,ve some times got myself stuck in some very thick mud, but ,I,ve also learned from Brandon,to rock my Max side to side and "most of the time" get myself unstuck.
But,if that idea dont work , I use "another" Brandon Price trick. I use a plastic tie strap to lock my throttle at a slow wheel speed and then rock my Max side to side,using my roll bar. This has worked most of the time.
Another trick that I,ve learned to get my Max unstuck, is to remove my winsheild and squat down on the very front edge of my Max IV, with my knees facing forward , and work the throttle from this position ,as I bounce up and down .
If this does,nt work ,I then use a plactic tie strap to hold the throttle open , at a "very slow" wheel speed , just enough for forward momentum. I then stand on the very front edge of my Max IV, with my knees facing towards the front of my Max . I then use my body weight to rock my Max IV side to side, using the roll bar for hand support.
This trick unloads almost all of my body weight off the wheels , enabling my Max to pull itself out much easier. This trick works really good
But,if that idea dont work, I still use the tie stap on the throttle,but,I then get out of my Max to unweight the body. This will then lower the "psi" on the ground,and make it much easier to get my Max unstuck. I also push forward against the roll bar,on the side I,m on, as I try to get my Max unstuck.
And, if those ideas still dont work, I then get out my "grubing hoe". This tool has pick on one end and a 4 inch digging blade on the other end.I use this to knock down any high mound of dirt that is in front of my Max,that is stopping my foward momentum.
And,if all this still dont work,I then use my 2500 warn winch with a Pulpal in case a tree is not close enough . But, if by chance, my warn winch ever fails me , I then get out my "come a long", and rachet myself out ,with additional 45 ft of nylon cable.
