Wheelers in the snow

[BigYooper]

Hey guys,
I'm heading up north this week and I'm wondering if you can still use a wheeler with chains or if there's too much snow. I would like to bring my wheeler, but the sled could do.

are you talking lake or trails?

Lakes

depending on how much snow in the area, 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel. i have a honda foreman
with a lift kit, i would say with mine 16'' would be my limit considering what drifts you
would find.

I have a Yamaha Big Bear with 27" mudders and a lift... dont need chains or a sled, you'd be amazed what it'll go thru... though 3' drifts do slow it down a bit...

i got a plow on mine, so i can plow my own road! you get a
wheeler stuck and you are stuck big time! i dont have chains
and never really needed them even for plowing. as long as you
dont bottom them out you wont have a problem.

well depending on where north is snow will vary but here in duluth we have about 8" on the ground but we've had a lot of wind so i would imagine the lakes arent bad except for the drifts. brainerd has a bit more than us. but i would say bring the sled, they are more fun to puts around on when the fishing is slow. otherwise if your wheeler has the clearance, go for it.
