I would think all lawn mowers are off road. How off road is it, do you still have a differanal or locked axle? Have you done anything to to make it go faster? Do you run it in the mud or just hard pack trails? Sure looks like you should have a fun time with it.

6 inch pulleys front and back. Locked rear end by adding a extra gear works better than welding.

Murray's are the best to use as they have a strong C frame.

Working on a MTD now but because of there center pulley you have to just change the front pulley to a 10 inch

What do you have for tires, are they low presure. How does it handle the mud? It looks like a fun time. I run off road but have two ATV's.

They cheap ATV tires from tractor supply.
15 psi
Fun in the mud but much more fun on the bmx track it gets good air

15 PSI you run very high presure in your tires. Tops that I run in my lawn mowers is 6 to 8 PSI and 10 PSI being max. My ATV tires I only run 3 to 4 PSI.

 

[Carscw]

I run 10 psi in my mower tires
I just like running 15 psi on this. Why I don't know just always have. I guess because it takes longer to go flat if I get a hole.

how does it handle slopes? Seems like with no articulation it would get interesting...
