I'd like to get to the back of my property  with my 2012 500 sportsman and chainsaws but it involves  a going through a swampy section. How deep can I safely drive in without snubbing out or doing any damage? Thanks

I'd be more concerned about getting stuck in the mud . Over the years I put together an unstick kit . A boat winch, a few tow straps, a short strap to wrap around the tree your going to pull against.  A hand crank boat winch is better than a mounted electric.  More work,  but you can attach front or rear .

couple feet possibly. Keep below the exhaust.  Mucky bottom ?  

Maybe walk the route in waders to see if doable. Hate to see ya get stranded in a muck mess.

Back in the old school days we'd take our Honda ATC's in some pretty deep water. Those Ballon tires really kept you afloat.
