    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    IMO the 600 is a more reliable powerplant. And i've seen 600s with over 10k, but oil ratio is critical and not always set correctly from the dealer.

    Retirement Scenario

    Ease of maintenance in a home/property is something i need to consider and to have a spouse who is willing and able to follow in whatever i decide to do. I dont need much, but i do need peace and think it's true when they say a man's dissatisfaction stems from feeling trapped in life and the...

    Retirement Scenario

    Where would you retire and what is holding you back? Small cabin and large piece of property in Land O' Lakes, WI and then home on the Grand River in Grand Haven MI. Money is what is holding me back:) In searching for properties with over 20 acres this one came up...

    Last year vs This year

    Idaho does seem like a great place to live.....where we live can have a huge impact on our wellbeing. More than we realize i think. I also have some things tying me to where I live currently. At some point though i'll need to risk it and leave. Can always move back

    looking at ski doos, need advise

    I had a Ptek as well and the oil ratio from the factory was set at 48:1 or so and i adjusted to down to 40:1. 48:1 would have probably been ok, but i beat on that sled pretty hard and wanted to be sure it could take it.

    looking at ski doos, need advise

    It is an issue if you suffer a failed seal and lose the grease prematurely. The one to fail is the outer PTO, and it's the easiest to monitor and add grease if need be.
