Snow ride in Meadville PA

[MAX IV Mark]

Here is a video of a ride Amphibious drew, JPSwift1 and myself went on with the MAX IV with Adair tracks on 12/22/12. There was between 12"-18" of fresh snow and the machine just rolled it in front like a snowplow.

Very cool Mark. No signs of snow here.

Nice vid, looks like great fun. I found myself blinking when that branch tries to take out your camera.

Great video...looked like a fun day! Impressed with how fast that max4 covers ground in all that fresh snow...great way to enjoy the winter :-)

Thanks for sharing your fun with us

Great video Mark, Can't wait for snow here. Thanks for posting!

[Noel Woods]

Looked like it was a blast, that Max4 was really hauling at warp speed. In fact I don't remember a Max4 being capable of going that fast. Looks like you guys had fun, thanks for sharing.

I have been waiting for snow at my house too. Drew had lots, but at my place you can still see the lawn, there is just a dusting. i got a new (to me) snow plow I am dying to try out..... I should have taken it down to drews with me.........oh well

We could have made a fortune that day if you had brought the plow. Oh well it was still a blast.

And pulling out all the townies that got their vehicles stuck............like on the way home from the club Friday night. I can't believe we got that box truck unstuck!

Wow Mark, I can't believe how fast that MaxIV is, those videos look like they were shot from a snow sled not a MaxIV, and with three people on board in that much snow? Wow, I am so use to seeing Argos creep along in snow. That machine turns very well in that deep powder. I assume you know your way through those woods because I was getting just a little nervous as you dodged in and out of the trees, I keep wondering what was under the snow and hoping you wouldn't hit a tree or something buried under the snow, well looks like a fun time, I am sure Drew and JP were impressed with your machine, I know I am!

haha, the old 4 person tank does it again! Man, ill never forget the ride we had in that thing at ashtabula, and im sure no one will forget the look on my face as we crossed the first ditch..lol Drew, Im jealous...we aint got snow at my place, not even a skiff of snow! and hell, your only an hour away or so! PPSSHHHHH!!!!

What size tires are you running with the tracks on your max? That thing is an absolute tank. I was thinking of trading my Max 11 up to a IV but now i see there is a track kit available for the II through argo Hmmm. The videos you shot on the island were great too.You were going up and down that creek without a problem thats normally very hard to get through you made it look easy

Mark's machine has 21" rawhides under the adair tracks. Let me tell you, there were times we were using every bit of the 29hp his machine puts out to get up some of those hills. That snow was deep.

I have a Max IV and the forum member that I ride with ( Noel Woods ) has a Max II. The Max II has more room to stretch out your legs , you sit lower inside of the tub for a better center of gravity,and with the tub heated up and clearanced to fit 25" inch Mud Bugs on it, a Max II will almost clear a gallion milk jug. It only lacks a 1/2" of an inch. If it were me and my friend who owns the Mud II will also agree with this ,we'd clearance the tub on a Max II to fit 22 inch tires and install some Adair tracks on it. If I had known how capable an off road machine that a Max II is with Adair tracks,22 hp motor, 13 tooth sprockets on the T-20, a red spring on the T-20 clutch, I'd have bought a Max II and not a Max IV.
