I don't mean to start an oil thread... but 2:1 is a little more oil than I tend to mix with my fuel.I know we're all a frugal bunch here. Just saw this. 99 cents a gallon,German quality, mix AND bar oil.

Wider and longer is just another reason to find something wrong with the trees to justify taking them down?On another note, I had a Polaris sportsman 6 x 6 and that thing was incredible. I really regret selling it. The only downside was navigating type trails because of the long wheel base with the second set of wheels.

Can't go wrong with that mix ratio though!Bottled In Peoples Republic of China with a German milk jug...
True that!Wider tires with heavier tread on the ATV, and also make sure that your trailer has flotation tires. A lot of trailers have a little tiny pizza cutter tires that bog down in anything soft.
Belt drive is also prone to leaving you stranded if the belt gets wet. There is no way I would own a belt drive machine for my main machine.I'm not a fan of the belt drive if that is what it is. I have some friends with them and I would not buy one. I want to be able to be in the gear I need when I need it.
Yea my old Remingtons are 16:1 back in the day using 30wt oil for both mix and bar. Some of them old saws were 8:1 - 10:1 30wtCan't go wrong with that mix ratio though!
I started building a 6 wheeler add on for my Arctic cat but never got around to finishing it. I should do that one of these days.On another note, I had a Polaris sportsman 6 x 6 and that thing was incredible. I really regret selling it.

There are belt drives and there are belt drives, Yamaha's are waaaaaaay above the others in that regard, and mine has never failed me in ANY way, it always works perfectly for the situation and Yamahas belt last about forever.I'm not a fan of the belt drive if that is what it is.

Knock on wood, only blown one belt ever and that was back in my old Polaris 700 Ranger sxs....was towing an outhouse on a trailer up a steep hill. Mashed the throttle in high gear and the belt said nope. Had to go home to get a different wheeler LOL. That was a "******" experience ha ha.There are belt drives and there are belt drives, Yamaha's are waaaaaaay above the others in that regard, and mine has never failed me in ANY way, it always works perfectly for the situation and Yamahas belt last about forever.
My 600 Grizzly from the 90's still has the original belt and it still works perfectly.

No problems here either , and use it weekly for 3 1/2 years now . Plows like a MFerMy Polaris 570 has gone through lots of puddles (some deep) on logging roads (but I don't sit in them) and has plowed lots of snow.
I've not had any problems with the belt or tires or drivetrain. In addition to a tune up, replaced the fuel pump and voltage regulator, but no other issues.
And I did get a trailer with wide tires!
Seems they have turned into an Amazon/WalMart type site... many pages of Farmertec available.Just saw this while trying to find this oil. I can get parts from bed bath and beyond View attachment 1045836
Water crossings have been my issue with the belt drives, namely Polaris. Had to walk 26 out of the mountains once because of a sportsman 400. Never again. I prefer a manual, but if I had to go auto it would be a Honda since it has an actual transmission.Knock on wood, only blown one belt ever and that was back in my old Polaris 700 Ranger sxs....was towing an outhouse on a trailer up a steep hill.

On a side note if you leave a Polaris 4 wheeler in standing water for more than a few minutes, the clutch area will fill up with water eventually and you will be stuck there.
