Winter in Michigan seems to last forever...especially when there's more than about 4" and you can't drive through it. I've always used these weeks to do some mods or work on house projects.

This morning I woke up to 10-12" of fresh snow. After clearing the snow from my driveway it was RZR TIME!

The skidplate was dragging on the snow & the front was scooping up its share (could use more ground clearance...) but this didn't seem to slow me down one bit.

Things don't look too good for those unfinished projects this winter... Wink



Also took a short video with my camera:

Looks like fun Mark, I was half tempted to take my
Joyner out for a few donuts in the road, after I
snow-blowed the driveway. I think I'm going to get a
Rzr by the next buggy-bash, I love the 4W-drive.

Thats right Mark, the snow is great. I take out my Polaris 700 in the snow a lot. You should get a plow for your RZR, now that is fun... Very Happy

Now that I'm temporarily buggiless the best I could do was saddle up on the John Deere riding mower and cut the lawn. It was 60degrees and sunny today. Cool

I don't know anything about the RZR's so this might be a dumb question.

Will the RZR go through more snow/mud then a good size 4x4 quad?

Probably about the same. The power & weight of the Rzr might help it but on a quad you can somewhat offset the limited ground clearance by rocking your weight side-to-side.

i sell rzr's and they are great fun and the best bang for the buck when it comes to the SxS segment. great speed thats upgradeable to 70mph from 55mph stock. low center of gravity. all wheel drive on demand not 4x4. loads of fun enjoy. retail is $10,299.00 with 800cc fuel injection. and street legal in georgia.
