Default Yamaha Pulls Ford Up a Hill

This happened back in February but I just got the video on my PC tonight.

We rented a cabin and it had just snowed a good 6 or so inches. It was the first time we had been to the cabin so we didn't know what to expect. When we got there the cabin was up on a hill and the road had not been cleared. Got up over half way and then there was a turn in the road so I slowed down a bit because it was hard to see where the road was. Lost my momentum at that point, spun the tires a bit, exposed the ice under the snow on an incline. I couldnt get anywhere, had her in 4x4 with the locked diff engaged, still no go. Luckily we had yamaha power to back me up!

Funny thing is, the Ram in our group didnt even try to make it up!

Too bad you didn't have a Ski Doo. You would have only needed one to pull you up the hill.

Yes, stock pirellis. They suck. I went out and bought some traction tracks and have them under the back seat now.

I love my Yamahas! Just bought a second Nytro XTX cuz its such a great machine.
