After our first mudding ride (muddy level "B" roads, not swamps) we had 3-4 inches of mud and gravel stuck up in the wheel wells. After power washing it out it dawned on me this machine is mutch easier to get rid of the mud than our 900 Ranger was. Seems like a a much better design in the plastic wheel well design.

Anyone else notice this verses a previous machine?
 
I’ve also noticed this machine is easier to clean than my 2020 XP was. Seems like there’s not as many crevices and nooks that mud seems endlessly come from. Makes washing with a pressure washer or just a hose much easier, and I don’t really have to get a brush or a mitt out to get it clean. It might also help that I wiped down the whole machine with some cerakote wipes when I first got it home.

Agree. On our 900 it seemed like the mud would keep coming out for as long as you wanted to spray it.
 
This was fun to clean up

I totally agree Lobri.
The only place I have trouble with is on the rear on inside of the wheel well next to the engine where the frame members join, the leaves and dirt grind up fine enough to pass through the louvers in the plastic wells and fill that are in the frame, and it a PIA to get them completely clean.
