Well we had a good ride today. Someone said the trail was the driest it has been all summer and for the most part in was great. BTW rumor has it that this trail might be made legal for ATVs soon. We had to go through a swampy area in this "undisclosed location" to get where we were going. Made it all the way through the first time but could actually feel the mud moving under the grass. We must have disturbed it just enough because on the way back I broke through the crust and got stuck pretty good. Luckily there was a tree close enough to winch from. This was the first time in serious mud with the ACT radials. The front tires packed bad and the rears were not too much better....because of this I have reduced the price on them (see classified forum) They are a great trail tire, just stay out of 2 foot deep loon $hit with them LOL

Is this the place you showed me from the top of a hill where you said it was hard to get across on account of the swamp? Glad you made it out.

Belt stayed dry? If it would have been 3 feet deep on the left side you probably would have been draining your cvt case

I think that's the plug, did you have to use a needle nose to pull it?
