Uploading pictures

Just wondering if there is something wrong with the site. I’ve been trying to upload picture from my iPad like I always do and it comes up invalid file.
So I tried it on my galaxy and I get the same thing. Never had an issue before.
Thanks.

Front Bumper

I have a question about a front bumper mount on a 570 Sportsman
Is there a bumper that attaches to both the top and bottom?
I have the best forward plow mount that’s made: Moose RM4
Moose makes a pulley kit that mounts to the base of the plow and the cable thru the pulley and hooked to the front rack.
There is no strong attachment point above the grill so maybe I can install a front bumper for that attachment point I need on the top.
But the front bumper will be holding the weight of the plow when I lift it.

Hillard clutch blues…

So, here I lay, listening to the river, and staring at the roof of the tent, listening to my wife snore, and I can’t help, but ponder why my 94 6×6, always has some kind of hub issue. If it’s not a leak it’s a wire, if it’s not a wire it’s a wore out clutch, if it’s not a wore out clutch it’s that spring, not the spring, it’s the awd button, not the awd button, it’s the gravitational pull of the moon, on the sand in Africa, causing one side to work in reverse, and the other to work going foward… Like now. Now, I already know there are only two brands of wheelers, zook, and pullaris, but, my hillard clutches are going to give me cancer… Did anyone ever make a mechanical clutch for these things? The 6x does just fine handling in awd… Or is it just time to start over all new…. This 6x is only used for one thing, going through some serious shit, packing the weight my fleet of 250 and 280 zooks the family ride cant, and a solid anchor to float them zooks across the river… Pretty extreme… Am I stuck with an electric hillard? Can I make it full time hillard with a speaker magnet or something? Anyone play with these?

snow-mud/hard packed tires?

hey guys ill say 80% of my rides are hard packed – but when winter comes, bunch of snow (colorado) and we all know mud tires do best in snow.

problem is, I can easily run 100 miles – 150 miles in 1 ride. So far OEM tires has lasted me about a year with enough tread still for another year I am estimating

so which tire is really good in wear but does good in snow. I was looking at zillas but heard they maybe last 800 miles? while others say that would last a good 2 – 3 years with normal trail riding.

swamp lites I also heard wear really well.

what you guys think

safe ramp size (width)

so I used to have a ramp to load up a standard utility ATV but forgot the width 🙁
I was hoping if someone can tell me a safe width and/or what width you use for your utility ATV

primarily, I want to use it to load up a sportsman 1000 and a rzr 900 trail width.

heard people are getting by with just 46 47 inches

sportsman 1000

Thinking about getting one….Anything I should know about? Heard they are one of the most reliable bikes out there.

I have a 570 now and while going up hill, wont go faster than 30MPH hitting max full throttle…figured due to its lack of power. Felt pretty bummed about that. Should have went with a 1000 to begin with. Even in the snow, I can feel it struggle when I hit the throttle

Heard also it can compare to the 1000 can am outty when it comes to power.

confused about oil….which one is for front diif and rear..

Hey guys..owners manual is not really working well for me. I am trying to find research on this but no luck. I even tried emailing polaris, but no reply.

Anyhow…

this is for the transmission and rear diffs, right?

so what is this for? im not sure what "angle drive" is? is that front diffs?

also what is this?? since when do clutches and hubs get seperate oils in ATVs? Where is this located?

I really appreciate it guys!
