    Powder Freaks head and Jaws pipe

    18 850, with the Jaws pipe and y-pipe I gained about 300rpm. Already had the trail can. This was with the low elevation pipe. Threw more weight at the clutch and it was happy to pull it. Unsure what head would do, but the pipe made the machine more responsive and I gained a bit up top.

    Farmer talk

    Uncle was a lawyer and his key line was "Possesson is 9/10ths of the law!" Hope this works out for you. I see more and more of this locally over past year. Everyone has COVID pricing fever no matter what it is and few seem to want to hold a line on a price thinking the next guy will give them...

    Farmers almanac-Truth or fiction?

    I only keep track of local weather from our weather station at home. Compared to the Almanac, I'm speaking about the weather in our area (neighbouring RM's, etc). It's not exact, but if they say to expect a bit rain, it seems to come to some one within about 20 miles of us within about a week...

    Farmers almanac-Truth or fiction?

    I've kept track of weather in my log books every day for last 11 years. Alamanc is actually fairly close, on average, to within about a week I find

    Anyone have those little 6volt quad toys for their kids?

    Our 3rd kid has both a 6V quad that the grandparents bought him and a 12V Powerwheels dune buggy. The 6V is okay - but we let him drive it around the basement. The Dune Buggy has held up remarkably well. It's on it's 3rd kid and 3rd battery. For a battery, I bought a larger 14 amp hour 12V...

    BRP Sled delay for fall of 2021

    In our business world, we are starting to feel the pinch of supply chain issues. Simple stuff - for example - simple, basic 200A Service Panel - little stock and some vendors have no idea when they will get stock. Larger, more specialized gear, who knows. We currently have some equipment on...

    Skidoo gen 4 600rs primary

    They are not easy to come by. I don't know if you could this year, but previous years, you had to get it through the race dept. Try Goodwin's - they had some cut for 800 Etec's in the past for purchase If you are looking to go that route, you may also want to consider a P85 with a doo taper...

    Let's Talk...... Pressure Washers

    Dad sells alot of washers for Ag customers at our shop. If it doesn't come with a Cat or Comet pump he won't sell it anymore. Comets are slightly more reliable. Hotsy's have been good for us as well but you are in a different price teir If you are on your own we'll, like we are, pay...

    Above ground pool tips.

    Curious but how expensive is it to keep heated? I have a coworker who keeps his 27' pool at a similar temp and he's mentioned his power bills are well over $400 a month during summer months!

    Above ground pool tips.

    Tips as above for the legs are good ideas. hen the kids jump in ours, the pools rock around quite a bit. Legs need to be on something solid. If you have a pump with a filter cartridge, dump it immediately. You will be cleaning the filter daily. They really suck. Sand filter (Min 1,500 gpm)...

    Post Up Your Dirt-Sled-Water or Pavement Race Pics!

    Curious SnoPro - did you ever run across the Rotary V2's that were in development in the mid to late 90's? I ran across them in person a couple of times, but couldn't get anyone to spill much about them at the time. I know they still met 670 dimensions, but could never look at them long enough...

    Milwaukee tools

    We've put the 1400 ft*lbs one side by side with a torque wrench and torque multiplier and I can say it does meet the specs Milwaukee states.

    Milwaukee tools

    Couldn't get to the root of how this happened, but this is the second saw we've had come back like this. Same could probably happen to any saw. I had one of these and I also have a MS170. The Mil seems to be a bit more powerful, but the MS is lighter and just handier IMO. Plus I can buy 2...

    Autotrader Names 10 Best Electric Cars for 2021

    I'm slowly starting to get my mind a bit more open to the EV stuff. It certainly has it's place in the market in my mind. I work in the underground mining industry where noise and emissions are constant challenges. We are starting to play with some 8yd underground loaders. Power to no end...

    Milwaukee tools

    My dad sells alot of both Makita and Milwaukee. The Milwaukee generally have more power, but the Makita's take more abuse in general. My favorite tool is likely my deep cut portable bandsaw. I have a few yellow pieces, but everytime I use them I wonder why I bought them as those motors never...
