i agree with mathews. polaris sportsman make it through anything any other 4wheeler can. honestly, i have seen other 4wheelers get stuck and polaris pull them out and polaris get stuck and another pull them out. alot of it has to do with luck as to how far deep in a rut you are, are you in a rut at all,how firm is the ground at the bottom. there is a lot of things that get a 4wheeler stuck.
