Hey guys , i think i made mistake when purchased my machine when i thought id be fine with a manual lift moose plow set up . plow is great , takes a beating , very satisfied however the manual lift for it just kicks my as* after 4 hours or so. Lol so im looking at changing over to a winch , no biggie im definitely going to do it , where my question is , when looking at winches i came to the divide in the trail ...nylon rope ,or old style cable ? I will be,only using this for plowing that is all , i use choke cables and tug straps for other work ...... somwhat do you think guys , its not a price issue , im looking for longterm dependability.... i questioned the rope getting wet while plowing , maybe no biggie not sure. .. thanks guys. Airborne

Hey guys i haven’t disappeared,just been busy , my latest has been plowing snow, and cutting trees in the woods , this cold snap is great to get in woods imo,, last week,took,a sharp object in sidewall of tire, 32 miles on tire ugh... replaced the tire and bought a nice little floor jack at Harbor freight , it was about $30,00 , lol got home and realized it had no hydraulic fluid in it .... i wish they would of told me , had to run back out for fluid .. jack does exactly what i wanted im happy .. hope everyone is doing ok , Airborne

Carhart jacket , gloves , balakava , ski pants , the ski pants are great when plowing

Great point , and kind of you to put the offer out to ride/w others. When im out alone I usually adjust my ride for safety, i dont get into anything over my head lol , some afternoons i just want to cruise the trail ill go,slow enjoy the ride , but you are right about being alone , very easy to make a mistake ad regret it. Be safe. Airborne

Welcome to the group, great group of very knowledgeable guys here Airborne

Well said Frank , Happy new year

Good point, and funny you just posted this ... honestly lol , i just came in from garage , parked quad after going for a blast through the woods , opened a beer and walked into house .. its cold out here in upstate new york , wife is making a nice meal for us because we dont go out on “ Amature night “ , fireplace going , a nice old movie on and i looked over at wife and said “ lets go out for a blast tonight , , mind you we live in the woods , unpaved roads , 4 wheel drive in winter , she looks at me and said i dont think so. We have already started drinking , youve had a few jamisons , / w a few beers already , its 4:00 , and we will not be safe ripping through the woods at night , ...mind you a took a damn branch on face. This afternoon caught in helmit lol. Have a cute little “ red mark. Lol ........ i wear my helmit , but should of had my goggles ...... anyway long story short. You are no doubt correct buddy , my as* is home in front of fireplace on this cold night , quads are staying parked ...Happy new year guys Airborne

Hey temper welcome , im fairly new here as well , i have to say this site has so much more to offer then just grab service manual, the guys are cool , theres a ton of info and great fellowship , fun place to shoot the sh** with guys with same interest. Hopefully this spring we will,all be able to meet up ,ride eats and a few cold ones , im in upstate new york great places to ride , what do you have for quads ?

Hey. Guys , wondering what you use to lift quad to do maintenance? , small jack , lifts ...looking around not seeing much

I know this is an older post but felt like contributing, yesterday my son and i were on our property hauling out down trees , figured taking advantage of frozen ground would make the dragging easier, we ended up putting 9 hours in just hooking choke chains to logs and pulling out , it was fun did some great work , exercise, played with the quads a bit and had fun.

Sounds great..... round up everyone and have a great day

That sounds like fun. A day of riding together , and get to know everyone

My property and nearby powerline trails

Took the quads out today, decided wife ,son and i needed a break between house guests, lol party yesterday, and the next two days as well so we went out ridding a bit today , it was brisk but refreshing , came home had a few drinks by the fireplace , nice day , suppose to get some snow tomorrow? I dont think it will be much though .. Airborne

Hope everyone has a great holiday, be safe, eat a lot drink plenty and enjoy , i dont know many here still , im new but hopefully this upcoming. Year i will get to know more. Enjoy. Airborne 😊👍🏻

Just subscribed, 👍🏻

So true ....weve all been there , you get excited to jump into a project , tunes going , everything layed out , cold beer or a cup,of coffee , then boom ..missing parts. ...ugh but yes you are right they were helpful,in getting the parts sent right out so im happy for that

Ugh.....well trailer update , finally layed all parts out , noticed somthing wasnt right , parts missing nd missing hardware started assembling and got to axle spindles , one fit, the other spindle was wrong , misssing multiple washers as well , i was pissed , was excited to put together and couldn’t finish, called the company this am , they were very. Helpful , overnighting parts , ill hope i get the proper parts. ....ill update soon.

Ill get some pics up , been busy , actually layed out all parts tonight , also took delivery this afternoon af wifes and my new machines, hold up for two weeks for plow parts , ill be busy next few days lol ....

No i dont , left the area in 1984

You are so right , i have met a few CEO, s of major companys, just doing the same thing we all are doing . Those rivers are world famous, its funny once we are all in our sport doing our thing , weather with a helmet on our head, or some other gear we all look alike lol .

Graduated from washingtonville, Highschool, lived off of “ clove road near Mtn lodge , live in Hyde park now.

Deer tail, hair is great material , i go through a lot of turkey and pheasant feathers as well, love fishing in roscoe , the Beaverkill is my favorite,been fishing there since i was 18 , lol about 35 years ago lol....i avoid it on weekends though , its just to crowded

Not much of a hunter anymore after getting out of the service i sort of look at things differently, i have plenty of arms for home defense but hunting just looks different for me . Few years back i started fly fishing and i became obsessed lol , my wife bought me a fly tying kit and it became my obsession, love tying flys , i have a room dedicated tomthis sole purpose , i fish rivers only , usually in the Roscoe ,ny area as well as the esopus river , if anybody doesnt tie their own flys and would like some for spring let me know , ill probably tie up a few hundred over the next few cold months over the winter.

Well picked up my new trailer tonight , tractor supply called me said its in , came in a box It was about 150 pounds , big box , fit into the 4 runner like a glove lol , ill start assembling it over the next few nights , no rush , ive seen a few videos on assembly,its pretty straightforward, question i thought of was nobody used “ lock tight “ im kind of considering it ? What do you guys think ?
