Wondering who has what, what people recommend, what to avoid. Presently have a mid mount plow, I will probably fabricate the bucket system, So far it seems like a different mount is needed for the height. I have been looking at the swisher system and I like the long mount with leaf springs to assist with weight, not sure of mounting to the a-arms so was wondering if anyone has this style mount.
I watched a video of a kimpex and after seeing it twist didn’t look much further.
The warn looks beefy and I will be looking at them more.
Who do you think has the best mounting system to minimize strain on the atv. I like the build I just seen in the build section but it seems to be more for a blade.
I am new to the forum and hoping someone can help. I bought a basket case 94 Trailblazer 250 that had problems jumping out of FWD gear. I just took it apart and the fwd dog and SPRT 19T FWD are chewed up. I also had pitting on the shift fork 3233098. I have been looking for parts but I am having difficultly finding them. Is there another part I can use instead? Thanks

I picked up an 05 sportsman 800 in mid October. Dropped it off at the local Polaris dealer at the end off October due to overheat issues.
This is what the dealer came back with. I authorized them to tear down and then to go ahead and replacement of rings. This was first week of November. The next day the dealer tells me ring kit is on back order. It’s been a month and all they can tell me is Polaris is waiting on the parts.
How long should this take? What can I do?
TEAR DOWN ENGINE TO GET ESTIMATE FOR PARTS AND DAMAGE
PULLED TOP END OF MOTOR APART AND MEASURED CLINDER AND PISTON RINGS. THE RINGS NEED TO BE REPLACE AS THEY MEASURE ABOVE THE ALLOWABLE LIMIT
Piston rings are out of factory spec. Rings are unable to seal to cylinder wall causing fuel to blow by and why engine failed leak down test. Code 42 is Engine temp sensor circuit: short to ground. Engine temp sensor circuit: open or short to battery. When motor is rebuilt tech will test temp sensor and wire harness. Engine is overheating due to improper function of thermostat. Will know more after electrical diag. of system.
Got the windshield wiper installed, and the new air filter in place. I’m thinking now about tires, the ones on my 86 350 are pretty shot. Should I replace the wheels too? They look ok, if a little dinged in places. I’m just thinking new wheels and new tires may stay inflated longer. Also, what do y’all inflate your tires to for snow plowing?
While tightening bolt on positive battery post the wrench handle touched the frame and caused an electrical flash. Now it won’t start. Sounds like no spark or no fuel getting to engine. Checked fuses, looked ok. Any ideas? It’s a 2013 Sportsman 850 HO.
Just finished this up today. The whole thing was done with basic materials and a sawzall, drill, and a dremel. A lot of the stuff I don’t have the strength, reach, or dexterity to do myself, so a lot of it was done with help from friends with zero experience with these kinds of things, but willing to try. Could easily be fine tuned or built with better fit and finish by more skilled hands. Sure will beat having to call my wife to come out and change the angle for me though.

Just as the title says. I’m looking at some maxis zilla tires for my outlander. I don’t want to lose much power, so I’m not sure if I want to go larger than stock size (26"). What would be the advantage of 28" tires? Purely ground clearance?
Anyone have pics of a G2 outlander with 28" zillas?
I buried my four wheeler for the first time today. That’s what sparked this thread lol.
I am new to the fourtrax and have done some searching without finding an answer.
For the front drive – is this expected to be all the time 4 wheel drive? I was riding and the front wheels don’t seem to pull. In fact going up a hill I had the rear slipping and the front not pulling at all. I jacked up all 4 wheels and if I slowly turn the rear wheels by hand I can see the mid-drive shaft spin, but the front drive shaft does not seem to spin. Every once in a while it will start to move the front wheels slightly but an pressure stops them from being turned by the mid-drive.
