I am in need of a ? ATV to do spraying on Bedded forestery land. The wheel width must be at least 5 ft wide, with a clearance of at least 24 inches. The speed we would be running would 2 to 5 mph. Would have a 20-30 gal tank mounted. Is there something out there that is already available or do I need to customize an exsiting platform. If I should go with an exsisting platform what type /model/size would u reccomend and where do I go for the custom equipment.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Here is what I think would work best. A long travel Kit on a ATV with a 6" lift and arched A arms. Then run some skinny agricultural tires on it. No need for a SXS because with the long travel and lift you can at least fit 30" tires under it. I have about 18" of ground clearance on mine with no lift and 30" tires. A long travel lift will also make the ATV more stable.

It may be a little expensive Lift is about 2K Axels 2K and tires/rims 1K plus the cost of the ATV.

Here is an example only picture skinny tires on there.

If you need more info let me know.

That look like it will work. What is the width from tire center to center. Where can I find the "stuff" to set a few machines up like this. What type of machine do you think would hold best up under day after day use. Keep in mind the speed will be slow, 3 to 5 mph , the terrain is flat (except for the bedded area you are riding on) often muddy, with lots of logging debris.

Not sure on the center to center width but these guys would know. The ATV in the picture is 48" wide so the wheels center to center should be around 52" +/- but then you can add 1" or 2" wheel spacers or they can custom build the a-arms longer before you order the axels.

Home - MUDTECHinc Custom ATV Fabrication Should be able to hook you up with the lift and axels.

I am being partial but an Arctic Cat Diesel would be awesome for this job and you might even be able to run a bio diesel. At first I would have suggested a low cc gas machine like a 400 but then you might need additional power to turn large tires if you choose to use 30" plus tires.

Let me know if you are going to place an order with the Mud Tech Guys the phone numbers on their site are the easiest way to get a hold of them and tell them swampcat sent ya.

      Hey all!
      I'm on a mission to buy my first UTV soundbar as a gift for my dad(a newbie on ATV). I'm aiming for something that offers great sound quality without breaking the bank – my budget is around $250. Right now, I'm considering options like ecoxgear, kemimoto, and boss.
      Does anyone have experience with these brands or specific models that you'd recommend? Any advice or suggestions would be super appreciated!

      I am working on a basket case for a friend.  It is a 98 Big Bear (YFM350FWB).  It came with a parts machine which is a 96, which I am coming to find out is VERY different from his machine.
       
      Anyway, first thing is first.  I checked compression, 150psi.  Valves are set correctly, and the engine is in time.  I cleaned the carb, and there was some junk in the passages.  It is a chinese carb, which I figured from the lack of markings or lettering altogether.
       
      The bike runs.  It idles ok, but breaks up badly under acceleration.  Pulling a new spark plug shows it is running lean.  White strap, with no black whatsoever.  So I have the carb adjusted with the mixture screw out way too much (about 5 turns), and the diaphragm needle lifted to the top slot.  It is still not getting enough fuel (or too much air).  It backfires through the carb, and cannot get above idle without carrying on.  The carb boot is in good shape, so it isn't pulling any air there.  I did test this as well by spraying ether around the boot when running, looking for intake leaks.
       
      Anything big I am missing here?  I am starting to believe that this chinese carb is the issue.  This quad came with the original carb, which I would like to rebuild and use, but the mixture screw is totally stuck, and stripped way down in its recess.  
       
      Thanks for any assistance.

      Does anyone use GPS, whether on a device or app to record their ATV trail rides? I have been thinking about a section where our members can upload let's say a .gpx file and share their rides on a google map for others to see where there are riding areas. Not sure if this is something of interest or how much it would be used, so just trying to get an idea.
      Importing routes from files like xml, lmx, tour, freshroute, gpx, kmz, kml
