You could get the wheels rolling with it. But good luck when it's time to stop!
That does bring up a good point though. Just because you can make do with less doesn't mean it is wise too!

I usually run 10 psi rear tires and 8 psi front tires. I'm thinking I may
bump that up to max around 20 psi. Our dog, will of course, ride up front
with us. Got to save on payload where we can. lol
My family gathers here nearly every Holiday weekend and a week in the
fall to camp and ride. Mom and Dad are 75 and still enjoying riding as much as the the rest of us. We cover every type of terrain you can imagine from mild to wild. We only cleared enough trees for our four campsites and a main drive way. Its tricky getting backed into but stays much cooler in summer.
This property was one of the better investments I've done in my lifetime. It has brought 13 years of family gatherings we probably would not have otherwise.

Another view and out on a ride with family.
Its a very rural area and our camp site is very private.
Nothing behind us for miles!

Nice campground you've setup. Bet it's nice that you never have to worry about reserving a spot ahead of time.

Nice tow vehicle!
Our neighbor sells these side by sides. He sells one with 120 HP. It’s over $24,000.

Our Can Am X3 Turbo was more than that stock. Plus the 24' enclosed trailer we bought to tow it didn't help the budget. But with all that horsepower and 22" of shock travel it rolls across the desert at up to 60mph smooth as silk. But to be honest I wish it was back in the Arkansas Ozarks crawling along a rocky creek.
I'm really glad someone posted the opposite of the diesel tractor pulling a 5th wheel (the real overkill). Just to make the opposite point of some of the folks that do that. YOU CAN HAVE NOT ENOUGH JUST AS EASY AS TOO MUCH!! Somewhere in the middle is common sense!!!
