First Ride on the Polaris High Lifter XP1000

Pete nice to see you on a mud machine I couldn’t believe my eyes at first. But to answer your question and low or high. You’re supposed to use low when going thru mud and water it offers a noticeable difference when going thru due to lower gearing. I was always told when mudding in high gear you could easily burn up your belt. Good video much love for you.

If you ride under 30-40 kmh... always on low

Always low in mud

I do 4hi if the machine has the power

heyyyy there you go! welcome to the mudd side lol. Those tires are supper hard. You can try to air down to help with bumps.

Man, that intro was magic

Always low for the mud could burn up the belt in high!

Great job for your first in the mud Pete pro tip low range is your friend in deep mud and push off the banks when your in a deep hole !

Go pete 👏 👍👍👍

Beautiful scenery ! Isn't that muddy water cold this time of year in Minnesota?

Glad to see you continue to branch out. People seem to miss that these 4x4 and sxs completely crippled the sport quad segment. Nice to see why some people gravitate that way. These machine are not just work horses or farm machines. May not be as fast around a track or trail but I can ride my 850 all day and I'm not feeling it in the morning like my sport quad.

Oh man, that was great. Lol you really got the whole experience 1st time out. Must have spent a at quarters at the do it yourself wash lol keep em coming buddy.

Definitely a different type of riding than I’m used to seeing from you lol seems like you had fun though

Where's day 2 of little Sahara?? I don't have social media so idk if you spoke on it but just wondering. Was interested to see how that ride turned out.

i hate the mud and water, stinks like shit! but love watching the content regardless!!

Chads Renny looks wide!

if its anything like the Scrambler cvt housing, id pull the drain plug!

Great video man. Hilarious to see you waist deep in a water hole. I was hoping to see Chad go off roading with the renegade, lol

Ya this my kind of ridin
Trails and mud

That start edit of the drive was legit

Hit it in high gear
Low gear is only for towing as far as I kno

You need a proper mount for the 360
Need both hands for control and hittin some of those holes and climbs out of them

You prob won’t believe this but I had a 2007 raptor limited edition and I use to ride mud holes and trails just like that on it
Never got stuck once either mud and water everywhere but never got stuck
I could always rock it out
Was riding on itp holeshots at the time

Lol you gotta hit them with some speed
Crawling in slow is a good way to get stuck

You throw an aftermarket exhaust on there it’ll change everything they usually sound really good

I might have missed if you said but did you get your raptor straightened out bro?

I have a quad myself but I have never pushed it this hard

336 mafia and Braydon price and Kyle someone I think they do a lot of riding like this and making videos they all ride the 1000 Can-Ams but they don't tend to like the Polaris but the Can-Ams are always burning belts unless they came up with some new to stop that from happening you got to kind of ride the four-wheeler like a truck that you would be driving through there if you are driving in too high and get stuck you can just put it in for low and usually back out and restart and that's what I mean driving it like a four wheel drive truck but you'll learn how to skim it send in it you'll learn when to crawl it you'll learn to float your front end and extreme left or right camber rides like you were talking about using your handle grip that's just a little bit of my two cents that you were asking about I was trying to answer a little bit

You can upgrade the tires in the suspension and the lift and make it way more badass and put a snorkel system on them

But I'm pretty sure that everybody likes the Can-Ams better

When you said the front end drops that's a big difference from a Can-Am the front end is weigh heavy on a Polaris from what I understand and that type of four wheeler setup is not even meant for trail riding it's meant for underwater mud bogging serious mud I used to have the Honda 400 TRX I haven't ridden in a while though I got ran over on my WR

Water wheelie first time I heard that and that's yeah exactly what it is pretty good description I love it

Yeah I left another comment it's exactly like you said you got to be riding in the water and the mud deep to enjoy this bike that's what it's meant for 400 450 700 Raptor yeah that's the way to go for the trail ride and the dunes

Always 4x4 low when mudding my man. You will burn your belts very quickly in high. You can make your ride a little more comfortable by dropping your tire pressures down to around 6psi as well. Happy riding.

i'd keep the exhaust stock if its gonna be submerged in mud puddles!

Hey Pete, I caught your time laps/montage switched to the beat of the music, sick editing man.

I want to see a ride review and ur opinion on a kfx700

Thick mud go low not thick go high or if you are going through slow go low but if fast go high

That's one quiet unit! Need help with that?

What spider lake are you riding at also is it a trail system or private land

Are you using the insta 360?

How has the 1000 been treating you since?

how much for this beast

I looked it down the reliability stuff scares me on them I'll probably end up with another Honda Foreman no problems out of that four-wheeler at all

That blue and grey color way looks really good on that tank! The wheels are crazy too, not my type of riding ect but appreciate the machine and what it's capable of.

@Pete Hager Do you think MX boots are important on a quad or is that less important because your feet always stay inboard

That was awesome how you went through the big hole without making a terrible splash or throwing mud all over the people

First video of yours I watched since I'm looking at this exact model machine, I too and a 2wd guy I'm a sucker for things that are hard to find parts for aka DS650
