P1000 P1000-3 IN THE SNOW

[DUSTMIL]

Have looked through a ton of posts but cant find anything on this. This machine is awesome with a plow on it but when you take the plow off and drive in any amount of snow the front wheels just push. Did it with the factory tires and switched to the Tusk Terrabites and still does it. Anybody have a fix for this or have the same problem?

just kidding.even with these it will still "push".2wheel/4 wheel,doesn't matter.i think it's a front end weight thing we just have to accept and adapt to.

Alignment is toe in 1/8 of an inch

my alignment is dead on and it still pushes.i check mine weekly b/c of the tracks.it makes no difference.this is just my obsevation,not trying to be argumentative.

I guess by pushing I’m not totally understanding your situation since it’s aligned. Maybe you’re noticing the short wheelbase? She’ll go like a bastard in up to 3ft of powder but like anything it’ll struggle in the heavy snow.

gotta steer with the throttle...

Seriously tho, I noticed this right away when I got my 1000, coming from a 500. The 1000's definitely have some understeer.

CumminsPusher by pushing i mean when you turn the wheel it doesnt turn. I can go through very deep snow but have to crank the wheel to get it to turn even a litte.

Maybe try new tires, I don’t seem to have this issue anymore then any other atv/utv I’ve owned or driven but I don’t have stock tires.

I use mine 90% of the time in the snow. Tried several tires. I’m sold on the Sedona Ripsaws. Run them with beadlocks and 4-5 lbs. and you won’t get any push at all. They have a deeper tread then a lot of the other tires which also makes a huge difference. 3/4” tread depth doesn’t cut it in the snow.
