Rode a new XM 174" today

[mickyd32]

marginal snow conditions here now being spring and all, suprisingly it did quite well with all that track on the ground and no snow
here is an action shot:

track speeds were pretty good, about 7mph! I must say boys, it did handle the trees better than my Pro by far. Was able to mow right over the 3" trees like piss all. Was even able to do donuts around some of the trees on the sidehills

Found its real weakness tho, windshield wipers were pretty bad

I can see the good for you guys with a quarter section to turn around in, but in the mountains the trees are much larger at the butt and turn around areas are smaller. I would think bulkhead issues may be the case here. More so than it already is with that brand.

I wouldn't worry about the wiper thing. It is preproduction. They should fix that. If not, you can always count on the aftermarket.

Having actually rode one I would say its closer to this...

Hmmm. Does look like they kept the same steering angle.
