Russian Rover Sherpa stuck in the clay of Texas

5 April 2018

American still managed to find a decent obstacle for a unique vehicle

Manufactured from 2015 ATV "Sherpa" is known far beyond Russia. First, foreigners admired the videos showing the incredible capabilities of this machine, and then began to slowly buy up. One of the copies went to the hot Texas guy leading YouTube channel Ostacruiser. A year ago, he specially flew to Russia to meet with strange Rover, and then I bought a copy for $65 000. Then Ostacruiser repeatedly post videos about the incredible opportunities "Sherpa". It seemed that there are no insurmountable obstacles. But now the American's finally found a challenge that "Sherpas" failed.

Canadian David Ostapov (David Ostapiw), lead channel Ostacruiser, purchased a "Sherpa" six months ago. All the while he searched for a suitable task for this "unstoppable off-road machine", as David himself called it. The fact that this amphibious all-terrain vehicle on low pressure tires are able to get literally to any corner of the planet. It is equipped with a huge 60-inch wheels with automatic paging. So huge tires developed cleats allow the "Sherpa" to swim at a speed of about 6 km/h. thus a-liter-diesel Kubota engine, though it seems modest, but its torque is enough for any task.

But enthusiasts managed to "plant" all-terrain vehicle. "The Sherpa" was not able to withstand the test liquid Texas clay: she just scored the tires, even in spite of the enormous height of the tread. But in defense of the Russian machine, it is recognized that the road would not have made it for sure no other wheeled vehicle.

The "Sherpa" is still able to get out on their own. Yes, it took him a long time, and even with the accelerated playback speed was extremely low, but the Rover did not require the aid of any other machines, nor winch, nor any other tools.
