Had pretty heavy rains earlier in the week so lots of mud holes. The part that sucks is I'm about a 2 hour drive from any place I can ride. The new Rancher works good. Definitely not a speed machine or the smoothest ride but it is a good work horse around the house and lets me go out and play on the weekends. Took an hour and a half yesterday to get everything cleaned up. The mud was thick and dried on solid. Your pic did not come through for me. I use my quads a lot on my property up north for utility work and it makes working definately more interesting, good to be in a place where I can ride from my place to anywhere I care for, speed is really not a factor, but different machines serve different purposes.

Here is the picture again. The Rancher is definitely more of a work machine than a trail machine. Solid axle and no belt help when I tow a trailer the majority of the time around my place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking on dumping the sxs I like atv better for how I like to ride . I have a 50 inch wide sxs but it is still long and then you get wedged between trees on tight corners from time to time . I do like the branch protection from a sxs a bit better also . I get the roof and rain part but I only drive mine in the rain if other guys are up to ride and really want to ride then I will go in the rain but that is like 1 or 2 times a yr max . I also bail on going to other guys places more because I can't just toss it in the truck. if I have to trailer I tend to just say fuck it not with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't care to much I usually have a ok idea where I am if I have a old school compass and some gas I can always get to a well beaten path . part of the fun is going deep and finding your way out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the Quad riding, sxs isn't about speed although they can, its about riding in nature. My point really was you gotta do something else for 9/10 months. What's great is it get the wife outdoors. She cant sled so Sea Doos and the side by side make up for it. 1 hour ago, smokin george said: Sweet looking buggy! I'm getting the full windshield for mine and possibly the side enclosures.

Having a few beers with your buds and getting out and walking around a course hitting golf balls. I have a blast every time. Just can't take it too seriously. And i get that, anything to get outdoors is great, different strokes for different folks. At some point I may get one to dink around with, but would probably get a ranger with a bed to be able to do more snowmobile trail stuff with instead of having to grab Dad's 86 Toyota mud truck to get into some of the spots. I would rather punch my self in the balls 18 times than go golf. I have good buds who are all about golf the have the fucking simulators in the house fly around to golf . I can't do it . my wife also can't stand it and her job for like 3 yrs was all golf related markiting and videos etc she had to go on all these trips to top course with famous players and b list celbs and would not golf just drive the cart and drink and bullshit .she especially hated the shit in like Alabama trent Jones trail in hot humid summer . a lot of my friends were just pissed she of all people had that gig .

Awesome system, and I've used several different GPS setups, and that was the best overall imo. Doesn't have every single feature, but the ones you need and they're easy to use.

So it looks like I'm gonna own (inheritance) a townhouse in the highlands of southern Italy (Calabria) that I was totally good to let crumble to the ground. Then I take a look with the wife, it's about 30 mins to either side Mediterranean Sea and more importantly world class ATV trails that the locals know little about. The trails go throught about 5000 feet elevation and roughy between 30 to over 100 miles. So I'm gonna take a very close look at now, as the trails look awesome.

In my immediate area we have ONE STATE ATV trail. Old railroad bed, about 12 miles long. That's it. Haven't been on it, in years. I ride my quad around here every day, mostly yard work related. Don't like going in the woods too much in summer...ticks. Every now and then I go up to check around. My trails are about 2 miles in total, maybe a bit more. I pretty much can access all our property on them. I have to make a water crossing some day.............deep muddy area, can't get through......got stuck before. Will cut some fukkin logs and lay them down or somethin'. Maye I'll drag some 4x8 sheets of plywood up there, and nail them down on some lengthwise logs.

More than 600,000 acres of Forested land here (Fed, State, County) and over 600 miles of trails just in this county that interconnect with other County trails. The Tuscobia trail alone is 73 miles and we ride that one lots including today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
