    Farm shop build, well suppose to be built already...

    I'm curious what you guys would do in this situation. Last fall we contacted a company to build a pole shed shop for our farm, 60'w x 80'l with a 16' lean on the side for office, mechanical, bathroom and storage. The time frame for getting it built was september of 2023 this year. Not an ideal...

    I’m struggling to comprehend this message a bit, but I’m curious to what it actually means. lol

    Look have you seen how many times i've posted everywhere looking for a twin rail skid and track? It's embarrassing haha.

    2024 Arctic Cat Catalyst

    But like I said, I never drop, jump, rally hard. I’m just the guy filming it all. So for someone who doesn’t beat on their sled that’s pretty crappy for it to happen like it has. It’s ruined a day of riding for every mechanical failure. And driving from Saskatchewan to Sicamous that’s a huge...

    any caterpillar techs on here?

    It gave me an E-10 code which is “a combination of errors” Then it gave me an E-04, which was a fuel pump issue. The fuel pump was stuck so I beat on it with a wrench and then it started ticking. Low voltage code came up once when I manually started it. So that’s what drove me to put on the...

    I didn’t want to take any power from the two batteries in series. I didn’t want one battery to drain and get undercharged or the other overcharged. I just bought the batteries two weeks ago. I ended up buying a deep cycle battery to replace that aux battery I put on. I will say that the timer...

    2024 Arctic Cat Catalyst

    I do not do any of the sort and my rail is complete garbage. I'm a camera guy, i've never hit a jump, did two unintentional drops no bigger then 6 feet. My speed on the trail is 60km/h even on a fresh groom(track stays in one piece this way) and i've Broken every piece on the rail. Front arm...

    2024 Arctic Cat Catalyst

    Got to check out a Catalyst today, I definitely have some concerns… Intake screens are way too exposed, They’re right above the M on the side panel. They’re frog skins. Going through the trees they’re going to get punctured and ripped. Headlight adjustment is really stupid. The whole...

    If anyone was curious about the install, this is how it looks. Using an auxiliary battery to power the heater unit since the loader is 24v and the heater is 12v. Solar panel to try and trickle charge it all day. It has a timer on it so it’ll only be on for a few hours a day wonder how long that...

    I highly recommend the EGR cooler route. You can usually find them cheap if not for free, and they’re very reliable. The exhaust on a diesel heater doesn’t get to the same temperatures as the EGT’s on my truck that’s for sure. 1,300 degrees vs 750 degrees. You can use convection to circulate the...

    Any dual sport guys on here?

    Suzuki DRZ-400sm is the bike I have. It’s nice having something so light. Fuel economy is great, it just lacks 6th gear. I wanted to put some all terrain tires on it since I have to ride on gravel to get to the highway. And those street tires suck. Fuel economy still can’t give you more fuel...

    If anyone finds this thread looking to put a coolant heater on their 3306, after trying to make the circulatory heater on the heater core lines in both directions, the heater core won’t let the coolant go through. Im assuming the heater valve only gets water through under pressure. There was no...

    EXIT X1 FRONT SHOCKS

    I had x1's on my M series and they were huge improvement over the stock shocks. Only issue was getting parts to rebuild. Save yourself the effort and just send them down to the states to get Zbros to rebuild them. I took mine to a local shop and it took 7 months to get them back.

    any caterpillar techs on here?

    Well, I decided to just hook up the coolant lines so the EGR cooler I have is directly in line. Put a temporary water bottle filled with diesel as the fuel source. The kit came with two extendable hoses for the hot air output. I have one pointed at each hydrostatic pump, the other two are just...

    any caterpillar techs on here?

    That sounds like a decent idea, but I’m afraid no water pump on my unit, and both of the lines for heater core are at the same level so I don’t think it would be very productive. Just convection will be causing the circulation. I was going to install 2 T’s into the heater core line so that the...

    Winter Tires

    I put on the factory studded Nokian Hakkas on my duramax last season. And they do not do well in deep snow in comparison to my old studded duratrack knock offs. They were muteki trail hogs. They lasted 5 years. These Nokias are not going to last that long. Looking at the tread I’ll be lucky to...

    Back surgery

    What exactly is a stabilization surgery? I’d much rather have that than a fusion by the sounds of it. Glad to hear you’re doing better so quickly.

    2024 Arctic Cat Catalyst

    My thoughts exactly, i commented on the video saying that. For how the chassis was designed to be with the alpha rail. It's still washing out on an easy sidehill. Any twin rail could've been planted to that sidehill with those snow conditions. All i know is they better offer the option of a twin...

    Back surgery

    A drunk driver blew a red light going 80 and tried to rip the front end off my truck, I didn’t even touch the air bags I went to the side so hard it spun my truck around like a top. All while I was just trying to drive to work at 5am. They were drunk, high on meth, stolen car, suspended license...
