    towing/pulling in reverse

    I really never thought much of the 900's, i started a deuce lover, then a 800 lover, but bit the bullet almost 2 years ago, and bought a 900, well i have to say they are awesome, and as for auto's i thought real trucks only had manuals, BUT the 900 really is just a better 800.it is stout to say...

    towing/pulling in reverse

    First of all im a much better driver than spinning my wheels,and those 4 tires are still more than the over loaded fronts, makeing tires loose traction in the rear.the calculation is how much is lost in the rear is never compensated for in your figures and wont be., I would love to put my deuce...

    towing/pulling in reverse

    I do not beleive that the 8 tires are losing traction because there are 8 of them,one can say more tires more traction, the back end is not floating in a pull it is down and dirty.in deep mud only are singles definitly better, Not on hard pack. it is definitly better to pull the way the truck...

    towing/pulling in reverse

    Singles are better traction off road simply because there following the ruts already made by the front, instead of the tandams snowplowing and causing resistance,thats why it is easier to back out of what one cant drive thru. BUT pulling, i think as long as there is power, more wheels...

    M-900 series failures

    Im going to say the 900 is getting a bad rap , Due to driver error. With that much torque, and a bunch of drivers that have never even driven a stick before, get in a real truck and destroy it, well that's what it sounds like to me. Ive been pushing mine alittle and it is fine, also never heard...

    towing/pulling in reverse

    Gee Great thread, But I thought I have noticed that pulling in reverse may put traction on the front, BUT reduces it on the rears alot more tires to do the work, the nose pulls down , i like the rear pulling down? Im probably wrong, but it seems that is the way it was made. Im into the dirt big...
