R1 tires. I could have had the R4 tires for no more money but I need all of the traction I can get. I use chains in the winter and it has to be dry or frozen. Every thing here is either up or down with a few in between areas that we consider flat.

Reminds me of home I have some hills about that steep, but not near a big. Yours go on and on..

You are right you have to be careful and stay away from the edge. The narrow trail at the beginning of first hill in the going up video has been an established trail for 40 years that I know of and appears to be rock based. There is 80 acres that I co own with my brother.

The videos are just to the top of the hill it would bore you to death driving out the ridge but it is the only way to get there. I leave it in 4WD all the time. Even my BX1500 stays in 4WD. I use to have a 2WD and I kept chains on it all the time and could not go half the places that the L4400 will go.:thumbsup:Reminds me of home

Yep same here, only in 2wd on the flatter pieces of pavement. made the mistake "once" of going down a hill with a load of gravel in 2wd and had a "runaway" when the rear tires started to slip and then lost traction..I learned better real quick

I have a couple hills nearly that steep but no where near as long. I still get a little nervous traveling them. You sir have ba**s that clang to drive up those hills. I got queasy just watching the up hill video.

Well, I'm not watching the going up video again. I was all clenched up and getting "pucker factor", and I wasn't even really there!!
Beautiful place you have there. Stay safe on your "hills"!

Very interesting... thanks for sharing! My only other comment would be it that is a "hill" I'd hate to see your "mountains"!!
