How well do you think it will hold up in the snow? I'm looking of some kind of snow tube I can pull behind the four wheeler at 25 plus mph.

Funny I used to do the same thing with my KFX. I think the tube would hold up well. The only issue I had with this product was the sun faded the cover (you probably won't have that problem). The stitching is good quality. I would say go for it. Have fun!

I don't think you can find a tougher tube regardless, it should be awesome.

I have these on a 2wd truck and we only get snow 2 or 3 days a year where I live. I was at work once when it started to snow and using cable chains on the back I was able to get home by the time it was 1" deep. On my trip I stopped at the grocery store (which wasn't out of the way at all) and bought milk and bread and some canned items (the canned items were in case the power went out). I was able to get into and out of the grocery store parking lot with minimal trouble even though it has a slight hill. My next truck will be four wheel drive.

Here's a video of a guy with it in the snow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFI6bqv-VuY

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.

Have not used it in snow yet. I anticipate that it will work fine as long as the snow is not really deep.

Never trailered it yet but is awesome! I live in Alaska and it keeps the dust, snow, and mud out. Might be worth just pulling it off while trailering.

Several factors involved. If your ground is level you should be OK. Ground wetness is also is a factor. Even a slight uphill with non aggressive tires might be a problem with wet ground. I have a Craftsman lawn tractor with a 25HP Kohler for pulling. I use winter snow chains on the tires which helps but I can still get stuck with wet ground. Tires dig in and the axle bottoms out. The ground must be very wet to make a significant difference which I am sure you already know. My property has slight hills so I have learned to go side to side instead of up and down. The wheel is very heavy which I like. I did my yard today as a matter of fact. After doing most of it I brought out the zero turn and cut. I didn't think it made much of a difference until I hit the part I DIDN"T DO with the roller. It was much rougher so the roller does make a difference. Go easy on the turns, avoid up hills if possible and I think you should be OK. If you have a pull behind wagon load it up with about 700 lbs and give it a test run. The individual hydrostatic transmissions might not be able to take the load. Possibly check with the manufacturer. So far it's a great wheel. Hope this helped.

I think it would be good on a groomed snow trail and on a salted wintry road... The shock absorbency is amazing. I constantly think my little one is being jostled around but then I run ahead of my husband to check and she is so still in there. She really loves it in there.

The actual tube fits in a protective canvas donut like sleeve. so there is some protection from tearing or cutting the tube its self. I have not tried that. seems to me snow would have more resistance than water and would put more stress on the rope loops but ive seen crazier things towed. I would consult the manufacturer.

Was caught out driving when snow began to fall pretty steady, in Alabama, yeah haha... had to pull in the first parking I came to and park it. No matter how much I babied the throttle it would just spin and hardly move. Tire grip is terrible in snow as well on wet pavement. Although durability is great. Never a flat or pressure problem.

Don't know really, but I was pretty amazed today that we got through around 7 - 8 inches of heavy, wet snow today with our 13.5 amp here in Iowa. Just go kind of slow and don't overtax it. Beats shoveling although usually I would have done it before it got so deep.

We live in Colorado and have only had snow and cold temps so far. It's very heavy duty. My only recommendation is that it runs big and we have high winds and it tends to blow off (even with the straps). I wish there were more straps. I've had to resort to large bungee cords.

We just got ours 2 weeks ago, but were very pleased with how sturdy it is, I think it will hold up for years to come. And yes I think it would handle the snow no problem. It's also very spacious for a 2 to 4 bird coop, we are very impressed with the house.

Seems like a pretty sturdy shelter. For wind I wound add some extra tie-downs and use screw in stakes. Having said that I am not sure any shelter will stand up to a lot of wind and snow.

If there's snow on the ground I wouldn't. The motor won't get along with the wet conditions. But living here in Northwest Florida with temps for the most part in the low 40's I don't think there'd be a problem. I would think rolling it up when done and fitting in the bag could be a bear of a task though. Not sure I would set it up.

I live in the south and have mine on a Honda 14 model for about 6 months now. Was real happy at the ease of installation and durability. I routinely put stuff on the top as I am unloading the back of my truck and think it would probably do OK with a snow load provided it wasn't the real heavy wet snow like we get in the south.

Haven't used it in the snow but it is rated for it and I've used it in 50mph gusts and as long as all the tie downs are used it will be fine
