    Big red pulling tractor tube snow pics

    Did a little wheelin' in the snow with the kids over the weekend. I have to say I am very proud of the 200es to be able to pull 3 100lb plus kids and one very large farm tractor tube very well in the snow. They had a blast!! I will however be looking for a 250es soon That 50cc has to mean the world when workin' a 3 wheeler this hard for a coulple hours??

    Once you get a 250 you will never want to ride the 200 any more

    Looks like fun CRAZY. I think you're on to something about the power limitations. I couldn't get my 84 BR into fifth and even fourth sometimes on the lake last weekend. And there was no more than six inches of snow?

    The 250ES is the ultimate! I just got one and its amazing. It feels like there is nothing is can't do. It's like a tractor mated with a rally car and got the best of both worlds.

    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    Well its a lot of fun and pretty fast for as much work as it can do, that's how I feel riding it. Its like a race car tractor, and a really good one of both. I know its not the fastest trike, but I have never owned anything that will work so hard and then is so much fun.

    Ya....my 200 in low range will pull the kids fine up to 3rd in5 or 6 inches but it really works it hard, I forget its only a 200cc machine sometimes it does so well. Hey Specht.....got a 250es for sale in that collection of yours?? Anything??

    I have a 200 and a 250 Big red, and I actualy prefer the 200 for pulling ANYTHING.


    We had about a foot of snow today, and me on the 250es, got to pull out a polaris Sportsmen 500 out of the snow. He was stuck stuck, and I just pulled through in front of him, hooked up and out he came. He wasn't happy his expensive quad couldn't handle a trike.
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    I cut a lot of spruce and three trips with the 250 and bobsleds is almost too much for a half ton pickup.

    if you got a 200cc, there's no reason you cannot make it have more pwoer than the 250. the 250 has an issue with finding performance anythign for them. but the 200 is the same top end as the 200x. head porting, cam, valving and pistoins are all avaliable. i have a very hopped up 200e and it is a bad mamma jamma. outruns a suzuki 400cc 4x4 atv. and can pertty much stay with it on the hills and terrain. So do some work to the top end, add in a heavy duty clutch, and your set!!!!

    Anyone running 22" tires on a 250ES? Maybe the shorter tires would allow it to pull a little harder.

    My friends and I went playing in the snow on my 200m last night, not a problem at all, It's only 3 - 4inches deep though. I love the snow and drifting and tubing.. It's AWESOME!! I'll have to go again and get pictures.
    I just wanna go fast. If your not first, your last!!
