If it's a 200es, then it's an 84 not an 85. The 85's were 250es.

200es does great in the mud. just no suspension on the rear but its a shaft drive.

My 84 200es, will outdo my 250es in mud, and all working conditions so far.

yes the 84 200es is sweet in the mud with some nice wide tires with VERY VERY low air pressure, on my 25s on both of the 200es i got they dont even have 1 PSI of air just so it dont hop alot when going thru the dirt roads

i suspect the reasonthe 200 does much beter is weight. the 250 moidle has nearly 100lbs on the 200 one.

well its an 84 then. i forgot what the guy said. but anyways i have some 32" wooley boogers (im pretty sure there 32's) that are real wide. there from the 80's i beleive, and thats what i plan to put on it. and also i know it would be alot of work, but has anybody ever added rear suspension on one? i have to rally good 4wheeler shocks that i was thinking i may be ably to use if i could make some sort of swing arm

Hmmm, I don't know if you could fit '32 inch tires on a 200es, or any 200 for that matter. Even if you could it takes alot to turn tires that big and heavy.

For example, in my profile pic my 200es has some big 25" TurfBusters, which are almost as big as can fit and not have to cut fenders, if you could it'd be way too close for comfort, and you'd have fender getting in the tires, especially if you manage to add rear suspension. I'm currently running 22" on it for now, but 25" tires are the way to go on these.
