So I’m deer hunting Sunday and get a nice buck down. I go get my atv to get him out and I have to back up a pretty good hill to get close.
It starts to spin a little so no problem I have 4wd. I flip the switch and it dies before it will even move. I know the have a safety to prevent going too fast in reverse but it would hardly move. And advise? I did finally get him out.

What was the weather like for you? I had a similar issue plowing the other day. I’d throw it in reverse and as soon as I hit the override button the engine would shut off. I let the atv sit in the shop for a couple hours and the issue went away so I’m thinking something got wet and shorted to ground.
