The hill that you climbed with your Mudd Ox did not look that steep to me until I watched the video of your dog running down the hill. When I watched that part of the video , I realized that was a really steep hill ! Like Roger says, if a hill looks steep in a video, its REALLY steep.
Yep. When I watched the video afterward, it didn't look that dramatic to me, either. (A little disappointing after committing yourself to going up an angle like that). I wanted to make sure I showed some of the performance capabilities of the Ox, so I added that extra clip with the dog to try to get the angle of the incline represented a little better. 2 dimensional video sometimes just doesn't do the real situation justice. What added to the difficulty was that the ground was fairly soft. (My wife told me I was going to be on America's Funniest Home Videos rolling my new Mudd-Ox down the hill). You know how it is on those steep angles: if they are short in length, usually no big deal...but, when they have some length to them, you have just enough room to get yourself towards the top, lose traction, and then get yourself in trouble.The hill that you climbed with your Mudd Ox did not look that steep to me until I watched the video of your dog running down the hill.

Has anybody found the limit of snow depth that the Ox can handle without getting stuck by just using the standard tires? I know the sky is the limit with the tracks on but I am wondering how deep can you go before you start to run up on top of the snow and high center it so that you loose traction.
Mudd OX in Snow
I have been driving my Ox all over around my house and the deepest I have been in is about 5 inches. The Ox handled it no problem. I did get it stuck in some really soft stuff in the trees behind the house. It was probably 10" and I just got a little too confident after climbing all the piles of snow around my house. I can't believe how well the Mudd OX plows. I get the job done faster and have a good time while doing it. I can only imagine how high you could build a pile with tracks. It would be like having a little dozer.
I got my ride today here in alaska today in the black one
and it is a beast............ This machine is impressive,the tracks have deep lugs and move great on the white stuff...
Jest thought I would give all of you a hard time

The Alaska fellas or Matt could probably best answer that question. I haven't had too deep of a snowfall this year. I, at one point, had close to six inches on the ground and the Ox handled that no problem, but I'm not sure what the limitations would be in deeper snow than that.Has anybody found the limit of snow depth that the Ox can handle without getting stuck by just using the standard tires?

I went up a hill with roughly a 30 degree slope in about 3-4 inches of snow while pulling a pretty heavy trailer full of wood, and the Ox made it. It struggled, but it did make it. The trailer had a little more wood in it than the one in that first video I posted, so it was loaded down pretty good, (probably pushing the load limits).

I got my mudd-ox on Friday and we had 7" of snow. We have had no problems
with anything, hills, ditches, it goes where we point it. I asked Matt about snow depth and he said 12" no problem. Great machines, everyone enjoy.
