You didnt get stuck when you have to call someone for help then your stuck lol. I've owned 3 of these they are very hard to get stuck in snow. Mud on the other hand gets a little iffy

I have a 98 Kawasaki bayou 300 4x4 and it’s very hard to start after sitting over night . And I replaced the carb and it ran fine but a few days later it’s was really had to start . To you have any suggestions on how to it fix it ?

[@just_in_time5518]

4:45 I dont think that's engine oil smoking out the pipe. Just think its condensation because its so cold out. All my 4 stoke's do that until they warm up. Just though i would trow that out there as a thought.

[@shartne]

No you cannot get it stuck for long. That is a great machine for sure. You got a good buy on it too. I know you had to fix it but it was not too terrible I guess. Tire chains would make it almost unstickable. That would be the best thing to have during deer season you ride it to your deer stand or close to it and then pull the deer out with it.

[@mattsfishingadventures363]

That was fun seeing you getting the bayou out of the snow in the ditch.

[@grdnjmsn]

My dad had the same machine. I used to hook up a trailered 20’ boat to the Bayou and move that probably 2500 pound boat and trailer with that old Kawasaki in low range. They ride rough...but tough as nails and great crawlers.
