Ratchet straps suck!

Maybe I’m just a dummy (that’s probably it) but ratchet straps just don’t work for me when trailering the ATV. They always bend over, feed thru the ratchet, and I have a big mess. This is compounded when it is 0 degrees out. Are the "cam buckle" type straps good enough for trailering? To access my hunting property I go up and down some pretty bumpy, rocky, steep dirt roads. Looking for something that’s not a ratchet that will hold. And I’m not into drilling into the trailer so the wheel things are out.

Panels

Has anyone ran without the 2 under panels? How about the crapily attached ones in the front wheel wells?

I do do some mudding but it seems like all the panels do is collect mud…

Xplorer 300 4×4 transmission working backwards

This might seem very weird but I’m hoping someone has ran into this problem before.. I have a 99 xplorer 300 that I just replaced the stator on…everything worked fine before replacing it minus the fact that the battery was not charging.

After putting everything back together and starting the motor I put the gear selector into high gear and pressed the gas….the ATV moved backwards… So I then put it in reverse and it moved forward…. Totally stumped on this never seen it before.

I have been told by some the the polarity might be reversed some how???
