I have had nothing but trouble with this truck. Will not go forward. Had one replacement and it is the same. Not easy to get them to help you. I would not buy this truck!!!!

Sure. They will work in sand, mud, or snow. Anywhere you need to establish some traction and get your wheels moving a bit without spinning.

I have not tried it in the snow. However i have tried the snow plow and that works really well. The snow plow will release when you hit an object. The bucket will not. You might come to a abrupt stop if a speed bumb ar somthing unmovable is encountered.

I do drive mine outdoors, but it is not very rugged. It is good on paved surfaces but not on gravel or bumpy yards. I have ridden mine in the rain but I wouldn't let it get too wet or it might damage it. I don't think it would be good in snow or on icy surfaces. Better for malls or paved surfaces.

It does really well, especially with the front wheel in the fixed position. However, BOB rocks in the snow and slush.

Hello MelonieyIf you can swim with it then mud cannot be a problem. I am using it for running and biking on gravel and paved roads and it works well.Arne

Nope. Better getting a set of mud and snow tyres if going to be driving on poor roads. The sock is a get you out of trouble device. It works well so long as you dont drive too quickly, dont spin the wheels and are gentle with it.

yes as long as it is well maintained. It is slower that if you were driving it in your driveway. Great Product!!!!

I use it for a double car drive and 60 feet of sidewalk. It is easy to move around and to shift and the wheels on the back assist with that. It does a good job in light snow but is not as good if the snow is wet and more than a couple of inches deep.

Maybe. It depends on the snow. If it is fresh powdery snow, not a problem. This will leave a nice clean surface. If it is heavy wet snow, it might leave on patches of snow, but it will clean quite well. With that said, if you drive or walk over the snow and it gets compacted, there is a good chance this, and any other machine or shovel, will have difficulty getting down to bare sidewalk.

My opinion is the mud slingers are way better in the snow and mud and sand! The only thing that would be better are scoop tires!

I will check the tires tomorrow, but I live in Montana, and drove on them all winter. They slide a bit, but have holes for spikes. I drove with them through about 1 foot of snow, with no problem in my Ram 1500, in 2 wheel drive. Only put it in 4wd to turn around when the snow got too deep. edit: guy below answered your question!

Yes to rain or snow. It is a lot heavier than a smaller one. It can be moved on a flat level surface without too much trouble. I use a hydraulic lift table to load it into my pickup. It does run the ac in my trailer whereas the smaller unit would not.

This model is a gas powered 4x4. However, the electronics and gearbox are not water or moisture proofed. You could run it in thick mud or sand but I would swap the stock clutch with an aluminum type. Also the one way bearing slips more than I care for, which prevents you from starting it until its replaced. I still live the truck, just do preventive maintenance and it will be fine. Don't forget to break it in properly or you will hose the engine.

I guess that depends on what you mean by offroad. On compacted dirt I think it would do okay, probably not so good on gravel or sand or loose dirt.

Nope, it also lacks enough power to be of much use in snow deeper than 3 or 4 inches. Spend the extra money for a gas unit.

Yes. I've gotten it dirty in the hitch receiver & no problem with that. It doesn't like cold or frost though. No signal several mornings at freezing temps.
