My back got the best of me so I had not been riding much. A guy ask what I would take for my Prairie & I must have hit my head and low balled myself. He never jump at buying it before when he would ask so I thought he was joking. I Said 1200 he pulled out 1125 now I don't have a quad. My wife tried to make me feel good by saying you gave 1600 5yrs. ago and put a lot of miles on it. I can still ride my daughters foreman 500 and she wants a dirt bike so I am checking into a Yamaha ttr 125 or a Suzuki dr-z 125 for her.

Thanks OX for the kind words! I went to look at a Yamaha today and the guy tried to feed me the biggest bs I think I have heard. Heres the laugh lines the front wheel wobbled it could be the spokes needing adjustment was my thought but he said it only wobbled on pavement and not on dirt. He said it was setup for a big bore kit and I was looking at the motor playing dumb and he said you cant see it because the parts are inside the motor and I would just have to buy the piston & rings to make it a 150cc from 125cc. So his lie was he had more or less a 150cc jug with a 125 piston & rings. The oil was filled to the tip top of the oil fill hole if you tried to add a tea spoon it would run over I didn't even ask to see what the story would be. I held back from what I wanted to say and was P Oed to drive an hour 1 way. But in the end I cracked up thinking about the bs he told.

      Best ATV Tires for Mud (2026 Guide) | Top Mud Tires for Deep Swamp & Trail Riding
      By quadcrazy
      Mud riding is one of the most popular forms of ATV riding, but the wrong tires can leave you stuck fast in deep ruts and swampy trails. Choosing the best ATV tires for mud can dramatically improve traction, steering control, flotation, and overall off-road performance.
      Whether you ride trails, mud parks, swamps, or backwoods terrain, this guide covers some of the top ATV mud tires available today and what makes them stand out.
      What Makes a Good Mud ATV Tire?
      Mud tires are designed with aggressive tread patterns and deep lugs that help clean out thick mud while maintaining traction. The best mud tires usually feature:
      Deep tread lugs Wide spacing for self-cleaning Strong sidewalls Taller tire sizes for added clearance Durable construction for rough terrain 1. Maxxis Zilla

      The Maxxis Zilla is one of the most popular ATV mud tires because it balances mud performance with trail comfort. It is lightweight, aggressive, and performs well in a variety of terrain conditions.
      Why Riders Like It
      Excellent mud clean-out Lightweight design Smooth trail ride Available in many ATV sizes Best For: Trail riders who also spend time in mud.
      2. ITP Cryptid

      The ITP Cryptid is designed for serious mud riding with deep tread lugs and strong sidewall construction. It provides excellent traction in deep mud while remaining durable on rough trails.
      Features
      Deep aggressive tread 6-ply durability Strong side bite traction Great for lifted ATVs Best For: Deep mud and swamp riding.
      3. Outlaw 2 ATV Tires

      The Outlaw 2 has become a favorite among hardcore mud riders thanks to its massive lugs and impressive pulling power in thick mud.
      Pros
      Extreme mud traction Large tread design Excellent forward bite Popular in mud parks Cons
      Rougher ride on trails Heavier than trail-oriented tires Best For: Dedicated mud machines and mud bogs.
      4. STI Out & Back Max

      The STI Out & Back Max offers a solid balance between aggressive mud performance and everyday trail comfort.
      Highlights
      Durable sidewalls Great traction in loose terrain Smooth handling Long tread life Best For: Utility ATVs and hunting machines.
      5. SuperATV Assassinator

      The Assassinator is built for extreme mud riding and features huge paddle-style lugs capable of digging through the nastiest swamp conditions.
      Features
      Massive tread depths Extreme mud traction Available in oversized setups Designed for hardcore mud riders Best For: Extreme mud builds and dedicated swamp riders.
      Choosing the Right Mud Tire Size
      25-27 Inch Tires
      Great for stock ATVs Less drivetrain strain Better acceleration 28-30 Inch Tires
      Balanced performance More ground clearance Popular for trail mud riding 32+ Inch Tires
      Maximum mud performance Best for lifted ATVs Ideal for deep swamp riding Larger tires may require clutch upgrades, lift kits, or gear reductions depending on your ATV.
      Bias vs Radial Mud Tires
      Bias Ply Tires
      Stronger sidewalls Better puncture resistance Popular for aggressive mud riding Radial Tires
      Smoother ride quality Improved handling Better trail comfort Most serious mud riders prefer bias-ply tires because of their durability in harsh terrain.
      ATV Mud Tire Maintenance Tips
      Wash mud off after every ride Check tire pressure regularly Inspect sidewalls for damage Rotate tires periodically Avoid excessive pavement riding Lower tire pressure can improve mud traction, but beadlock wheels are recommended for very low PSI setups.
      Final Thoughts
      The best ATV tires for mud depend on your riding style and terrain conditions. Riders who split time between trails and mud often prefer versatile tires like the Maxxis Zilla, while hardcore mud riders typically choose aggressive options like the Outlaw 2 or Assassinator.
      Before upgrading to oversized mud tires, make sure your ATV can handle the added weight and drivetrain stress. Proper setup can dramatically improve your ATV’s performance in deep mud and swamp terrain.

      2006 LT-F400F stator/generator cover change: What is the best way to check that all is good with the transfer operation before reassembling?
      By middlebrookgt
      I have replaced the cracked stator cover on my non-running 2006 LT-F400F that I purchased recently, checked all the shafts vs the service manual and pics and advice here.  I replaced missing gears, bushings and washers, made sure that truth marks were all aligned properly, that the shift cam springs felt like they returned properly, etc.  IAfter installing the new stator cover I checked the transfer lever for proper movement from L-H-R and then cranked it up.  Happily, it runs and changes gears well in L,  but it will not shift into H or R for anything.  I have opened it back up and am going back through it looking for the missing puzzle piece(s) but how can I best check that I have everything right this time before buttoning it back up?

      2003 Prairie 360 Won't Start
      By HighPlainsIT
      My son's trying to get a 2003 Prairie 360 running. Over a year ago, he'd rebuilt the carburetor using a SHINDY 03-112 rebuild kit from JT Cycle & ATV, and it was working fine; however, when it wouldn't run recently, he took the carb apart and the jet needle was rusted in place. He cleaned that up as good as possible and replaced the jet needle with the old one that wasn't rusty. Now, he can only get it to start about 1 out of 5 tries, and when it does start, it won't run unless the choke's on. The spark plug's good and is sparking. It has compression. Any ideas on what he should try next or look into?

      Old video of riding
      By mikeexplorer
      I took this video back in 2007. Recently the trail (old railroad grade) I was riding was converted into a walking trail (obviously no more ATV riding on it) 👎 I dug up this old video and put it together since it shows the entire section and what it used to look like. The quality of the video is lacking, but this was from 18 years ago. Image stabilization didn't exist back then so I wore the camera on my helmet. (mounted to the quad was useless with all the shaking) so there is some annoying frames of me looking around. I noted any historical items from the railroad in the video. There is a section where the railroad grade is wiped out due to erosion so I had to jump off it and ride an abandoned road for a section to get around it.
