The main concern with a backhoe is weight. While there are good areas that would handle a backhoe, there's also lots of more sensitive areas that would not. The idea is to find something that is big enough to do the job, but also small enough. So far, its still down to either a ctl or mini ex.
The initial thought was a multi terrain loader, but then shifted to an excavator for the versatility part with minimal attachments. I'm not crunched for time, but from a budget standpoint, the skid steers seem more expensive. What size of skid steer would you recommend?
I have a remote cabin that is used primarily for hunting in the fall and snowmobiling in winter. Our trails have deteriorated with the last 5-10 years of poor weather, especially heavily travelled main trails or vital access trails. Usually logging operations would fix a fair portion, but...
4-6" of fresh snow on the trail in the hudson bay / pasquia region. Nobody out on the trails and nice weather = excellent conditions. Haven't been off-trail though.
Update: Now 8"+ in the bush.
Was on the pasquia side and talked to numerous riders. Trail conditions are still fine, but trails are icy in areas and some minor dirt spots in a couple areas. I had a hell of a time keeping my pro rmk cool, basically rode from any unpacked snow area to the next, but the shorter tracks or...
Looking at upgrading my pro ride assault rmk to a axys one. Local dealers have both sks or assault with es for same price in stock. Aside from a-arms, needles vs piggybacks, front cooler, and tracks (2.6 vs 2.4), is there any other differences between the two?
Ive always run my assault in...
With the latest snowfall, conditions are actually decent in the northeast. No stubble showing at all east of Tisdale just gets better further east you go. Went for a ride Friday night to mistatim for wings and the fields are untouched. Fields are like glass and couldn't hit dirt, even with...
A few things I'll add. My atv with tracks has roughly 8000km and about 800 hours, almost all of which with tracks and during all four seasons. From a cost perspective, the machine the tracks are bolted to will always cost more. Currently, my tracked atv would cost approximately $.70/km...
Currently looking for an all aluminum, quality built enclosed trailer. Don't need fancy interiors with ever bell and whistle, just a usable trailer. 8.5' wide and 24-26 of box length plus the v-nose. Came across look trailers and seem to be decently built and priced, but have never looked at...
Hudson bay got a 30cm. theres still 2 weeks of good riding left, especially with a cooler next week and a few scattered flurries. Just be careful on any water as most had floodwater a few weeks ago.
I think we should add in more than just avalanche safety into the equation. There are problems faced other than the mountains on the trails on the prairies or eastern Canada. Alcohol usage, excessive speeding down trails, cutting corners, traveling on unsafe ice or too quickly across unknown...
Tracks work very well. I've had them for a good 5 years now and they are definitely the best investment I've made to the bike. The reason you see so many for sale is because people buy them when they have very little use for them. Then all they see is a very limited use system that they have...
Been around quite a few machines that your describing. Theres not much point buying a utility machine such as a bearcat or expedition if your not going to work them. Honestly, I think a very good all purpose machine is the 600 voyageur. Play off-trail on friday, rip down the trails saturday...
Certainly, this is the link for the larger burandt bag that is currently on sale. Burandt LOCK & RIDE Tunnel Bag | Polaris Snowmobiles Store

How much storage are you looking for? I have the flyer bag which is nice for throwing in goggles, drinks or food, tools,etc while still allowing enough room for a fuel rack. It's also easy to open and always dry compared to other bags I've used. If your looking for lots of storage, the larger...
I'm unsure how this is a let down, so here's some more information that should turn heads.
The 3-cylinder motor should undoubtedly produce class leading throttle response and exhaust note.
The 998 cc engine is the same long rod motor as the 1049 genesis found in the nytro, only this one...
FYI, Polaris really flogs the oil to this new 800ho engine during the 18hr break-in where it seems to level off. Oil usage after break-in is still higher than the previous 800. This is one of the advantages of an electronic oil pump, but another would be that you could fine tune it in the...
I would say about 4" in Melfort with more going east. Went for a quick rip around mistatim and they got 7". As slamnek and mk4tdi said, lots of the off trail is pushing with the bumpers. No-till stubble fields are decent, but still have to watch out for worked fields as your skis still dance...
