Re: longtail cant go through mud? I was told by a dealer they were discontinued because they sucked. They weren't all that and a bag of chips. Lol.
I didn't say my rig could go through as much, if not more. I'm saying a 27 on the right hull. I would damn sure try though. _________________ 1644 WeldCraft / 27 GDLT Ranger R71 / 125 Merc |

Re: longtail cant go through mud? i will quote this here again.... if you run swamps with stumps.... steelflex is a waste you your good hard earned money.... useless to you... offers no protection.... steelflex is a friction reducer for larger surface area contact situations..... high centered on a stump your still screwed
