I've got a woodlot that's on the side of a hill, pretty steep in places. My old Suzuki quad could do them all, but it was steep and challenging. If a quad runner could do it, can the Max? How tippy is a Max going up or down a hill?

I'd like to load up the Max with camping gear and head out, but I'd hate to roll it on a hill or something. Any Advice?

invite sombody over who has a roll bar and send him up first!
seariosly get a angle meeter from sam netcom ,
drsam@ix.netcom.com
his meeter will tell you how dangerous a climb is
a 30* is steep but not too bad,i did see a rolover from a 35* after sombody hit a small tree on the 35* hill, down hills is scary for certin!

Chris, The max11 is very stable. Any hill you can climb you can turn around on, As it is wider than it is long. Keep your foot break adjusted as they are pretty poor anyway.
going down scary steep hills I hold the foot break and you still have good steering.
Dont ever fool with the gear shift on a steep hill. If you get it in nutral you might have a runaway.
I live in the Mtns of SE KY. The max seems to go with ease places I dont have the nerve to go.
So your 6 wheeling may be limited to what you can stand, Not what the Maz11 will do.
