Hi all, my wife and I are getting ready for our moose hunt in 2 weeks and if youve gone moose hunting before, you know they love the dirtiest wettest bush they can find. Planning on getting stuck a few times lol
Was wondering on the right spot to put a rope/chain on an atc to pull it out? Backwards thinking the rear hitch/rear axle. Forewards, probably not a good idea to pull on the front forks eh? We have an 82 atc200 with solid front forks and an 83 185s with the front shocks.
Thanks
Richard

I pull from the back hitch, or like rebel said, right below the handle bars. Don't worry about hurting a three wheeler, because unlike todays 4 wheelers. Three wheelers were actually made to do work and last!

No kidding. My 200es bigred could be pushed out by hand if it lost traction but my Kodiak 450 was so heavy (and it is considered light compared to the polaris or arctic cat atv's) I had a winch on the front and the back of it. It was no use trying to muscle that thing out, and I aint no 100 pound weakling either.

I have a 1982 200 also. I've been doing nothing but mud with mine and I've found this model to be one of the best machines around for it compared to many 2wd 4 wheelers--both for going through it as well as getting it unstuck. I just lift mine up and out of the mud using the rear grab handle. There's no way I can lift heavier 4 wheelers out in the same situation. My brother's polaris was in a few inches of mud yesterday and it was welded to the muck and had to be towed out.
Make sure you stick to the 25" balloon tires and inflate to 2 1/4 PSI. I use the cheng shin general purpose knobby from chaparral racing and yes it will float on water with this. I put it in a lake on labor day and and I drew a crowd. I think this makes it "lighter" in the mud as well.
Also this model has a low snorkel and is water sensitive in my experience. I drilled a small hole on the bottom of the pull start housing to allow water to exit. After I was done, extended the rope and tied it to allow it to dry, then I used the hole I drilled to WD-40 the inside.
Take pics of your rigs!
