Have to look at my calendar, but a long weekend in North Carolina isn't out of the question.
 
Why do you guys run your mashers backwards? You know running them the other way gets better traction in everything except the thickest mud conditions.

Is this what you consider backwards? If you put them on the other way the steering on the street is terrible, the front end is all over the place. Since I use mine around my house I do need to be able to steer it on streets as well.
 
Yeah. That direction works well for clearing mud but as a result you lose traction. By running them the other way you end up trapping dirt having no way to go and thus getting better traction.
 
So, what you are telling us is that you run your Mashers backwards. The conventional direction is the one pictured by NCNitro and how most of us run them unless we need extra traction. I have not had too many problems with my Mashers hooking up, and I run them forward.

The other side of that is the street driving, and I think NCNitro covered that as far as it needs to be.

Bottom line, run them how you see fit.
 
I have been running them in the direction depicted by the image NCNitro posted since I bought them. I have never run them backwards. You can see that in most images of my Maxx from all of our sessions.
