Foreman 4wd stuck and Rancher 2wd makes it

In this video, my buddy on his Foreman 500 with Swamplites gets stuck in a hole. My wife on the 350 Rancher 2wd with Outlaws makes it through twice. Thats hard on a mans pride. She is sure to never let him live it down either. She made me proud!!

For some reason the video is very clear on my computer but once it uploads to youtube, it looses quality. Sorry

embarasing. . . . . thats all there is to it.

man thats funny, i mean thats funny. but like you said they are just heavier quads and when a vehicle is in 4 wheels and not 2 theres more power to the rancher due to all the power goin to the rear tires and the foreman had to disstribute the power not to mention the lack of a locking differenetial. but still include all those facts and that is still funny

Thanks guys for the laugh. Yalls replies crack me up.

I failed to mention that my wife lets me have it too. You see, I had a 2005 500 Foreman 2wd with 27X12-12 MudRunners and the little Rancher though not having as much power, is still smaller and lighter and would out-do the 500 2wd. I pulled off in that same hole going the way my wife went through it the first time and got stuck too. When I was being winched out backwards, I was giving it a little gas and my engine let loose. A valve stuck and the piston smacked it hard and just tow up all sorts of stuff. My insurance kicked in because it was gonna be so expensive to repair. I came out $1100 in my pocket on that. I was sho lucky!

Yeah, when the motor let go, we thought it might be a timing chain or something. It was a freak thing. I change the oil and filter religiously and make sure the air filter is clean. I've didn't take it into deep water, so water was never an issue. The owner of our local Honda shop was riding with us too, and he know that I don't raw-hide by atv. Matter of fact, he was the one pulling out when it broke. He said as long as he's been in the business, he's never seen an engine do that.

We do have 26X12-12 Outlaws with about 3lbs od pressure on the 2wd but he did have his in 4wd with 27 or 28 Swamplites and those run tall, so he had good ground clearance. Also, he thinks those tires are the cream of the crop and tries to get everyone he knows to buy them... well, I beg to differ. So, it was nice to see the ole 2wd outdo his 4wd. And for a woman to be driving, our buddies really bust his balls about it. Its all good.

Yall take care
