YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.


DAILY THOUGHT:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

My buddy Bill has a Sportsman 500 with tracks on it. He also has a 60" snowplow and plows his 220' driveway plus in front of his garage. It'll go through ANY amount of snow! That is simply no bs. The tracks suck in the woods though. :muhaha: It'll get hung up on logs and rocks but he just swaps the wheels/tires back on in the spring.

I've thought about buying a track kit for my Can Am Outlander. But at around $3K, they are hard to justify.... The ATV goes just about anywhere as is, and if the snow is deep, that's what my snowmobile is for!

They (ATVs) aren't currently legal on our snowmobile trails here, but our state snowmobile associatin and state snowmobile program administrators are looking into allowing the tracked one. I say YES, let's get it done. (The more snowmobile registration dollars coming in, the better!)

That's pretty awesome but I could spend $11,499 in a lot of better ways. #-o
