a question about 159 inch tracks in ditches

[travydog]

i am looking at buying a 2005 rmk 900 159x2x15 and was wondering how it will handle in the ditches i get to the black hills of south dakota a couple times a year other than that i am ditchbangen. any info would be greatly apreciated. thanks

might wanna look @ a 151 or even 144, depends on how wide your ditches are! lol i had a 159 last year, did some ditch banging, but the ditch was 20 feet wide~

My honest experience is stick to a 144. I have a 151 and back in my home town of Huron, SD it is not any fun to ride. Most of the time a 144 is all you need in the hills and if there is good snow for ditch banging, it is still possible to have fun.

you can run a 159".. however you will need to run scratchers all the time.. if you are looking for a 900.. i have one for sale pm if interested..

there is absolutely no need for a 159 in the black hills whatsoever the longest I would ever get for the hills would be a 151 maximum but a 144 is perfect for out there a 159 is wayyy overkill

no such thing as over kill. 159 fire cat flat out rocks never have to worry about floating over the pow and lots of traction on the trails. stop to help buddy out and take off or stop to laugh your choice!as for scratchers you need them no matter the length on trails

there is a such thing as overkill as needing a 159 for ditchbanging and riding in the black hills. A 144 will do everything but better and will be alot funner to ride. If your getting stuck with a 144 in ditches or the black hills then something is wrong

Same deal for me, didn't need the 159" but found a deal I couldn't pass up. And I love it on the one trip a year I take to Wyoming. And when the Minnesota ditches have snow it's a blast.
