FL_Cracker, I do not have any lift on my RTV, but I do have a set of Maxxis Bighorn Radials on it that measure about 26 1/2" tall. Over the weekend, I got into the middle of about a 60 acre field that had recently been plowed and disked that looked like it was fairly dry. Wrong! I got about half way across in "M" range in 4 wheel drive and ran out of power in deep mud. I figured that I was screwed because there wasn't anything within 600 feet to winch off of and mud was about level with my feet on the floor board. I put it in "L" and locked the differential, and stomped it. I only moved ahead about 6". I put it in reverse and stomped it. This time I made it about 3' backwards. I then put it back in "L" and stomped it again. This time it churned and sawed, almost stopping at times, but kept moving. When we finally made it out of the field, I realized that I must have been holding my breath the whole time. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif After I caught my breath, I got out to see what I was dragging with me. Besides mud flung everywhere as you would expect, my front bumper actually had mud pushed up on top of it where the bumper was pushing mud at times!!
I'll readily admit that I don't want to try that again and I still have about 50 pounds of mud stuck to the RTV, but with those tires on it, it sure pulled a lot more than I would have bet on! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif I'm not sure more aggressive tires would have helped much because the Bighorns were not balled up and were spinning enough to clean themselves and I was dragging bottom big time! I'd been debating on putting Bighorns on my Yamaha Rhino. Now I'm going to put a set on it as soon as they come out with their 27" ones. The 25" Bighorns are all you will get to fit on the RTV without a lift kit or something. With the stock tires on the Rhino, I doubt that it would make it through where the RTV went. Since I had no desire to try to figure out how to get out of the field if it got stuck, I didn't even try. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
