Frequently Asked Questions About MAX

Questions we hear most often and the answers.

Q. DO THEY REALLY FLOAT?
A. Yes, and the tires move them along in water at about four miles per hour.

Q. ARE THE MAX 6-WHEELERS HARD  TO MAINTAIN?
A. No. Motors are serviced either by your Briggs & Stratton or Kohler dealer. Transmissions
rarely break down and you can send them to the factory for rebuilding. Your major servicing area is chains which should be lubricated and adjusted regularly.

Q. DO ALL 6 WHEELS DRIVE?
A. Yes. And, most important, there is no differential action as both sides drive independently of each other.

Q. HOW DO THEY COMPARE TO A 4-WHEELER?
A. Our MAX 6-wheeler is the next step beyond a 4-wheeler. We have 6-wheel drive, they have two or four. We float, they don't. We keep you dean and dry, they don't. With tracks, we are great in snow. They aren't.

Q. HOW WELL DOES IT WORK IN SNOW?
A. With just tires, it will handle up to about 14 inches of loose snow.  With tracks, absolutely great.

Q. WHAT KIND OF MUD CAN I GO THROUGH?
A. It's all arithmetic. Each tire has 105 square inches on the ground...six tires means 630 square inches on the ground. A MAX II  weighs about 670 pounds which means its ground pressure unloaded is about one pound per square inch (psi). A MAX IV weighs  775 pounds which puts its unloaded ground pressure at 1.2 psi. A human exerts eight psi (about eight times as much as MAX) and  a 4-wheel drive truck about 28 psi (about 28 times as much ground pressure as a MAX ATV). in other words, with a MAX, you can drive where you can't walk!

Q. HOW DO YOU STEER?
A. The MAX has two steering levers. You pull back the right one to go right and the left one to turn left. You pull them both back to  stop. It's all hand controlled with the throttle on the right hand steering lever. You can turn in the radius of the vehicle,

Q. HOW ARE THEY SHIPPED?
A. By common carrier (freight line), on a skid, in a carton. fully assembled. Just put the fuel, turn the key and off you go.

Q. WHAT COLOR ARE THEY?
A. The upper bodies are a light brown (excellent camouflage), green or red and the bottoms and seats are black.

Q. WHAT ACCESSORIES SHOULD I BUY?
A. The roll bar is the most popular. followed by the windshield and then the convertible top. However, all can be installed later.

A personal message from Bob

I have been a MAX dealer since 1989.  BC Wheels has been America's number one selling Max dealer for more than half the 17 tears we’ve been a dealer.

I know what will satisfy your needs and will not attempt to sell you more machine than you need for your situation. I might, after talking to you either in person or on the phone, very well suggest that you spend less than you  thought you needed. Others will sell you what you ask for whether or not it is what you need. My experience helps, it can save you money.

I will never put an order blank on the internet like some other dealers.

The MAX is a personal purchase. Each person's needs are different. Most people do NOT NEED the biggest, toughest, or most powerful. I will suggest that you buy what I feel in my vast experience will be the best machine for your  needs.

I recently had another dealer's customer who called me with a question about his $12,000 + Buffalo truck that the dealer sold him. After talking with him for a while, I realized that the most basic Max II would have  easily done everything that he wanted to do.

Many people think they need tracks or many other options which may not be needed for their purpose. I will make what I feel are the proper suggestions of machine and options. I WANT HAPPY CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS, NOT JUST  CUSTOMERS!

I will drop ship anywhere but only after I know that the customer is getting what he needs.
