UXV 450i mud tires

[gotmyally]

Anybody running larger/more aggressive tires on  UXV 450?  Something like a 26" or 27" Mud Lite or Zilla?  Does it have the power to turn them in low range?

And how's the water-proofing?  Looking at one to use as a duck hunting vehicle.  Will be used to frequently cross flooded fields, water up to knee deep or so.

    They are great machines but not built as a submarine!  Factory states above the floor boards is questionable. I would not feel comfortable going thru muddy water much deeper than that myself. When you do that you will find all kids of other issues coming up...bearings will wear out much faster and all the moving parts under the muddy water will cause issues shortly down the road. I would prefer to spend more time enjoying my ride than working on it!

Gotta get to the duck blind 

Been doing the same thing with Polaris and Arctic Cat for years.  Yes, it's more wear and tear on the machine, but it beats walking.

Talked to some guys who had bought their wives/sisters the AC versions and both were equipped with 26" mud tires. They said it pulled them fine, and seemed genuinely impressed with how capable they were.

When i took a look at this machine, it seems like the CVT intakes are just under seat level, but appear easy to extend if you desired. The intake looked to be up under the hood, so it should be good.
