More on the topic 02sled missed out on.

We the stores and sellers already in place win their fight?  Will Patrick Browne jump on it? 

There is no way 150 stores will be able to stop the black marker, being the goal

100 stores just in Toronto will be needed

What I don't get if they are going to sell it the same silly way as the liquor, why not just sell it at every lcbo store that already exists.

Just an excuse.  In the long term, you just can't farm like they were.  Lots of new equipment and buildings, high rent on long term contracts, etc.  

They bought out a farm of 40000 acres that went bust during 7$ corn. Rumour has it they have 3 businesses and 2 of them are flush.

Those 48 row planters though

600 hp? Damn... bro gets about that on his 6.0 ,although he blew the head bolts and tranny a few times lol  . Think he runs a six pack or six shot bully dog setup. I only get about 400 hp out of my 4.7 but Thsts ok. Stoll have my old 7.3 for hauling 

1800 hp and 5600rpm. Pull against a guy with 2286hp and has rev limiter set at 6500rpm. Sounds crazy in person. (Big singles turbos)

Haven't seen any one pull in a top level pulling class with a powerstroke in a very long time.

The guy I know pulled right after the John Deere that had a similar unplanned disassembly earlier this summer.  He was probably at that one too.  

Thats my pass from the one time I hooked the bosses pull truck. Won by 8 feet.

Most series require a single driveshaft loop.  I have 3 in my cars and enclose it too for more protection.  I've seen driftshafts get the better of many drivers before.  

Found it on Reddit.

We truck pull with a 2100hp motor. Drive shafts have 3 hoops each and u joints have an 8" long piece of thick wall pipe covering them. Seen some pretty nasty breaks but no one has gotten hurt with those as required equipment.

A few from spring planting.  And the pup and cat are finally getting along after 9 months.

Fyi roundup was originally discovered by a soap company throwing failed products out the back door onto the grass yard.

And the shit they sell is stores is so watered down for what they charge it's a joke. Pure roundup in bulk is 6.50 a litre...

(Ps farmers can still buy lawn spray if they have a valid pesticides license. (Anyone with a commercial sized sprayer))

Sigh...  yep, sounds about right.  There is a section of 15 going souyh out of Smitjs Falls with signs along the shoulder specifcally saying no passing on the right.  You'd be amazed how many idiots actually hit these signs trying to pass..

I can believe that. The amount of times i am passed on the shoulder while driving a 14 foot wide tractor (partially on the shoulder) because they can't wait for a chance to get by. Have had more then one incident with people losing control doing it.

Had a drunk hit the combine in mississauga 3 years ago. Took the mirror of his van and hit every panel on the passenger side. Kept going. (17 foot 8 inches wide. It's pretty hard to miss lol)

Put 2 seasons of 2100miles each on my 16 800 pro s.

Ordered an 800xcr this time.

Just back from Gaspé,  buddies 850 hit 108 on his gps, his 800 last year only touched 100.

  Doo's speedo are way off to justify all the bs their owners spew.

 

850 beat an assault 800 by about a length in 3/4 mile race back to back. Assault driver had 80 plus pounds on the other guy. 

That 850 has had a catastrophic engine failure this year  (crank came apart) and has been eating a belt ever 800kms.

Edit-and it still sounds like he likes it better then his xrs.

Nice miles and damn cold up there the whole time too.

Did you run toward Hearst? I'm making Hearst for Lunch from Cochrane then back for my first day on Friday. I've actually not been West of Kap before on A so I hope it's not tight N twisty (or rail grade boring) between there and Hearst.

I turned around at kapuskasing.  Wasn't any fresh snow once top of the trail and they were rock hard. My Sliders wore real bad at the curve in the rails this year so scratches wouldn't have helped. I was checking my Sliders every 20 miles yesterday as they were that thin.

The club trails around moonbeam are really nice and we're in great condition on  Thursday. 

I would avoid the centre of timmins as well it was ice and rock. Could bypass around the edge of town.

Well the season is all wrapped up for me. 11xxmiles this week in 4.5 days riding. 2100 on the season.

Pretty sure I'll order a new one as 4200 miles 2 years old with 2 years warranty left is a good time to let it go. (As far as cost per year goes)

Sled has been alot more reliable then past 600s. Has had thumb warmer, and 1 snow flap rivet replaced. Put 2100 miles on both belts.

The XCR is the only step up from what you have.

How's that 2" FTS you put on working? Want to sell it when you trade/sell your LE?

It was a nice upgrade. I no longer find my self braces for nasty hits when you hit a hole in the trail.

Edit. And I'll most likely pull it and out the stock shock in it when it goes.

Wow suprised your Polaris "got you home" for 730 miles based on what I "heard"..

Loose plugs can be a symptom of detonation.

Perfromance Rec? One of mine I bought from them is 5AK047.

Yea it came from them. Sleds got 3800miles on it now. Sled runs good again and it's got a 4 year warranty. So long as it survives 2 more days it'll be someone else's problem next year most likely.  A blue xcr is calling my name.

Up to 730miles. Had to limp back in to town this afternoon. Turns out the spark plugs need to be tight or it starts to detonate and goes into limp mode. 1700 miles after they were installed.

Meeting up with Kyle and rob in the morning.

Abitibi canyon 460 miles since I got here late yesterday.

Haven't been to the canyon in years hoping to change that in a week n a half

They've cut the trail I to the bush at the top end now. No more road running. I saw 2 sleds before 10am. Probably another 50 all day. Westway lot is rammed with trailers.

Edit. Hope with the cold now the get the groomers out. Trails close to town are getting pretty beat.

460 miles since arriving in cochrane 26hrs ago.

Checked into the west way. Rain and fog most of the way up. Misting here now. Double checked the polaris dealer in town has Sliders and scratches in stock. I'll probably be seeing them before the weeks out.

Those sleds do look good black. Way better then the Ronald McDonald pattern the one year.

Heading to Cochrane in the morning for 5 nights. Meeting up with Kyle and rob on Thursday or Friday morning.

Nice "Freedomsledder Rules" sign 

There's been worse.

The FIL had a 2015 F250 diesel.  He put about 60k on it and the truck just shut down one day.  It ended up having electrical, high pressure fuel pump problems.  Also said there was gel in the fuel tank and couldn't get the fuel to ignite.  This happened about 2 months ago and still don't have it running.  Dealer ended up putting him into a new F250 with the 6.2 in it.

But to be fair it's a Ford and their diesels have been unreliable since they left the 7.3l in 2003.

and the towing MPG is shit with them now also. they took everything that made oil burners great and took it all away .

U could not pay me to buy a modern oil burner

Less than a thousand bucks to delete and tune all that shit off them on a gm. I heard the eco diesels were losing the cam gear timing. Has caused quite a few catastrophic failures.

You should take it for a spin.

Polaris has that one dialed in good, their best sled of 2016 IMO.

I'm still chasing it a little bit. I wrecked the stock skis last year and this fall put on c+a rzrs and put on the 2" fts from the xcr. Hopefully the last adjustment I made last night gets the balance back.

Stock they are just wicked through the twisties.  Way to soft shock valving on the rear skid though.
