I am very dissatisifed in the braking system. When you appy the front brakes the rear wants to slide going down a steep incline. I have only had it a few months and it doesn't have enough power to climb a steep hill in high 4-wheel drive. What can I do to get more power?

You must be a BIG BOY. I am 220lbs, and High gears will get me up any hill. Even so, what's wrong with low?
We own the most underpowered 671 lb machine made by Polaris. It is an adequate machine, nothing more.
And, there are not "front brakes, per say. Your brake lever pulls on front and rear brakes. Any rear wheel only slide you are experiencing from going down hill is from engine compression.Or from applying the foot brake, which effects only the rear wheels. Unfortunately, the engine braking does not translate to the front wheels, even when in 4WD.

john answered your question concerning the brakes, I've never had that problem with mine. Power-wise that 330 has enough power to take me up any hill that I have wanted to go up and I weigh over 220, so I dont understand how you would be having that problem.
