Deeper Water Crossings

New 825i and we finally get to take it to the Ozarks for a quick ride. With all the rain we've had recently the creeks were a little high.

We watched a Rhino cross a deeper creek with no problems and the water came to the top of their tires, so across we go. The first trip across we had no problem, water a couple of inches into the cab floorboard. But on the way back across we choose a different line which was a few inches deeper and just before we made it across the belt started slipping. We barley made it out, or it just barley pulled us up the bank. I took it easy and after a bit it dried out and we made it fine.

Now I don't do serious off roading, but what can I do to my buggy to help in in these med deep crossings?? I'd like to cross about 24" or so deep. Somewhere I saw a snorkel kit from a Kabota??? Will I need one for the belt and another for the breather???

Thanks,
