P500 yellow buggy blazing a trail in about 21" of snow

My daughter recorded this for me. I was impressed with the P500. I posted this in the snow post but remembered the pic and vid section.

Nice! It's not easy to pound through that much snow.

Is that a 450 S foreman?

I've got one and that's a tough machine. Rides like a horse and buggy but super tough.

2003 450 ES Foreman, yes crazy tough machine. I don't have a ride comparison but it could be smoother that's for sure

your p5 looks like it does pretty good in the deep stuff, I feel bad for the poor guy on the foreman (no cab/ heat) that was me for the last 20 years. I sold my 450s, 2800 very hard miles on the ol girl and it was still going strong, def. a bullet proof machine, hope my pioneer can out last it.

Very cool!!! Thanks for posting. Gives me a little more confidence for the snow days

Thank glad you liked it. I wasn't sure how it would do but I figured I would try it was my only way to get to my elder neighbor as we live up on a very steep hill. I told them I would plow their driveway and was determined to get over there. I figured if I get stuck I would find a way to get it out with lots of ropes and winch from my foreman or just leave it out there until I got help. It was a lot of fun.

It is kind of hard to see but on my way back I blasted through an even deeper section where I had a lot of snow plowed into a pile. I also got partly stuck at the very end once again a deep snow pile.

I found that using the brake hard while gassing gets the other front wheel moving. I got out of a few spots doing that. Now I just need to figure out how to do that with my foot out the door pushing.

Did you ever get the driveway plowed, or did you play all day? The video really impressed me. I will be giving it a go in the snow next weekend. I am sure that the type of snow will make each situation a little different, but............I want to see how she does. I have heard about the brake trick to engage the both front axles. Has any one heard of a true locker for these little machines?

Locker? Hmmmm....down here in AL we use a welder to make a locker. No switch or lever required, it's automatic.

Just joking, don't do it. There are many that do but I don't recommend it.

I did get it plowed but not very good by the time I got over we got another 4" and the snow got heavier it was a mess. The brake trick works but I had to put the brake on pretty hard. I would love a locker mostly because unlike my Forman it is hard to push it out by hopping off of it. My atv I can hop off press the gas and the brake while pushing and pretty much get it out if anything.
