Hello, I'm Just_Me

Hi, I just bought two new UTV’s a 1000-5 and a 700. I should be getting delivery for both pretty soon (being shipped in).

It was a bit of an impulse buy, and they are bone stock, not a single dealer upgrade.

Hoping to get out on some of the forest trails around my house, Angel Fire is a ski resort area, so I hope these things handle the snow well.

Here is a little info about me to begin with!
Honda SxS ownership : Yes, this is my first.
I have owned, or currently own the following: UTV
My off-road experience level is: Novice
My favorite place to ride is: Forest Logging Trails

Welcome sir. I’m sure some other guys have better experience than I from AL but I hear they perform well with the right tires.

Amazing in the snow.
When it gets deep, I plow and have done 90% of my plowing in 2 wheel drive.

I have a long, and very steep driveway that ices up in the winter, Im debating studs vs chains. I just hope the chains dont tear up my concrete driveway if the tires spin.

I am learning the UTV’s are only the start of the process of hemorrhaging money. I think I will only upgrade one at a time.

Welcome from North Georgia. Performance in the snow not much of a concern in this part of the country

I appreciate all of the friendly welcome messages, my first impressions from this forum is that people are polite and very helpful. A refreshing change from some of the Internet forums out there.

Best Regards,
