atv and utv year-around use (and in snow)

[ArlyA]

Even in upstate N.Y.,our ATV and SxS see a lot more use year-round than snowmobiles.
My son has a couple sleds,they see very limited use,I use the others daily.

So we will see you with pods for your atv or utv?

I had to drag a SxS on Tracks odd the Lake last year. Deep Snow to the Fishing Hole, then it Froze Up.

Had my Nephew tow it to the Ice Road with his Ski Doo Expedition then towed it with the Plow Truck.

They look very useful, but not Foolproof

We do see snow here. Our machine get inside to melt off once or twice a winter. Was it parked in slush?

We use our Yamaha Wolverine X2 year round. No pics of it in the snow, though.
I picked up a 2004 Polaris Scrambler about a month ago. Looking forward to getting the awd functional so it can see some snow action.
And my minibike I modded over the winter last year. It's pretty quick for what it is.

Just Colder here I guess, like -15-20F temps at the time

We don't get much snow to speak of around here. But the Polaris Ranger does get its share of year 'round use. Both pleasure and work.

Some people here have said they gave up there snowmobiles for this or that reason so I started this thread to show those folks that we have used atv's and utv's year around and in snow with pod accessoires..

I won't be investing in "pods"any more than a snowmobile;too limited of use for the cost.
Neighbors have a set for their 1000cc Polaris but none for me.

For travelling some distance on snow, a modern snowmobile is like a magic carpet that does mach 1 compared to an atv or utv with tires or tracks in snow. But for flatter places with not much snow an atv/utv can still function in winter pretty well as a work machine. We do a bit of firewood in winter and I used to plow with the atv too, so it gets a bit of work done.
