First season with new rhino and would like to hear from you guys that have them on a couple of questions:

First I found myself in pretty heavy wet snow and the rhino didnt even want to spin the tires in reverse just bogged down and the belt slipped. Might be an adjustment on the bike but just had it gone over for the original break in.

Second pro's and con's on tracks as I have mostly dry conditions or light snow on south slopes but the north slopes can have three feet?

Last I have a polaris atp and do the atvs work better with tracks or the same as a rhino?

Thanks for any input

I have had the same problem in reverse, a friend has also so I am sure it is all of them. If I have the box full of dogs it does it on dry ground if I'm trying to back up hill or over a rock or something.
I don't know anyone with tracks but the demo videos I have seen look like they work well.

I've never had a problem with mine slipping in reverse (2007 model). I had it loaded with 4 or 5 dogs two people and backed up some extremely steep terrain. If mine slipped backing up a hill with a load in it I'd have to take it back.

You guys need to bypass the reverse rev limiter, so you can get full throttle. It's a stupid saftey feature.

Pros of tracks - go anywhere, no need to pull trailers, can put a full cab on Rhino and stay nice and warm, look really cool.

Cons - expensive, slow, gas guzzling, throw lots of snow, if you break down, no snow mobile is going to pull you out.

The Rhino is a bit underpowered for tracks in my opinion, they work though. Make sure and get the gear reduced tracks like the cat tracks. Drive sprockets are about 1/2 size of a wheel. You'll need the gear reduction in the deep stuff.

How do you bypass it?
Thanks

Remove both seats and engine cover. On right side of engine you will find a green wire with a white stripe. Simply splice into this green wire with white stripe at any point and ground to engine, frame etc. I grounded mine to the seat mounting bracket.
