Status: online 		The only way a Foreman will make it through deep peanut-butter type mud is to have a strong engine, no locker, and tires 27" tall or smaller.  The locker will help with traction, but it will absolutely kill the power in thick sticky mud.  28" tires or larger will really bog it down as well.

I'll agree with that. 27's seem to be a ggod size for the foreman, not just because of the power either. when I run my EDL's, it sure seems like I go through bearings/tie rod ends and brake pads a lot quicker.

LOL!  You ain't foolin' nobody!  We all know a Foreman will grind to a halt in peanut butter mud with 29.5's or larger!  Might as well call a tow truck, that's the only way you're getting it out!

Been there, done that, and got the tow truck bill! LOL!  I've been to Marengo and the Suicide Hole changes consitency every year.  Some years it's dry and sticky.  Some years it's nice and soupy.  Peanut-butter mud is like clay mixed with just a little bit of water.  It sticks to everything and feels like cement.

And I bought 29.5" Laws from a guy with a Foreman 500 because he couldn't spin them.  He went back to 28x10 Laws.

One question for all of the guys that can spin big tires in thick mud:  are you using a locker?

Status: online 		peanut butter mud is even thicker than this.  When you come out, each tire has probably 50-70 lbs of mud stuck to it and it's stuck so many place in the frame that you can hardly see any part of the bike. LOL!

Status: offline 		I have fallen off into alot of holes that are way too thick.  Back before the gear reduction just the 450 top end with the HC piston and some edl outlaw combo and paddles with a locker it would bog to a stop.  Mainly the paddles being WAY too big.  Now with the gear reduction my timing chain jumped time one tooth and it still was turning the edl's in thick mud.  It taks alot to turn big tire on a foreman and a locker makes so much of a difference it's crazy.

Riding wheelies on dry land is nothing compared to a deep thick hole. 

Swamp_Monster has the first baddest foreman and had alot of personal experience with it.  If there is somebody that knows what a bike will do then there is the man!

Status: online 		I'll call that peanut-butter mud! LOL!  But, like I said earlier, you don't have a locker, you have a strong motor (bigger than a stock Foreman) and you're running 27" tires.  From my experience on a Foreman, when you lock the front end and go up in tire size, the motor will bog down in that kind of mud.  I haven't tried with a gear reduction....yet! LOL!
