When ever you talk about ATV's, everyone starts bashing.

To help you out with your problem, there are a few things you can do.

The come-a-long with a long rope works great. And is cheap. You can also get some more aggresive tires, but they will hurt the ride. A lift will help, and you can build one yourself cheap.

What it comes down to is, find a different route. Not to bash you, but some more experience riding will probably help. The ranger spins those tires quick, use it to your advantage. Sit back, and let er' rip. I have gotten through stuff with a honda recon that my buddies couldn't get through with a 4x4.

And Dirt2 has some bad advice.

Good luck and enjoy the sport and passtime.
