    Question on Norway Spruce trees

    Anytime works but fall is my favorite because you water it in heavy at first and if planted in the cool temps you can almost plant it and forget about it till spring. Make sure you have a wet spring or you may have to water a little. Most of the time I don’t. I planted a couple of trees last...

    2023 Yamaha Snowmobiles?

    It’s not a Yamaha thing it’s a 4 stroke thing. The Doo 4S’s could use EPS too. The older I get it seems all of these sleds are heavy. I have a 2S 850 XRS and it feels heavy too. But, it’s not that they “need” EPS, but the benefits of having EPS is what’s worth it…not just to hide the added...

    Yeah, nobody benefits from 2 manufacturers...even if you don't like some of them. It keeps competition present and that means progress.

    2023 Yamaha Snowmobiles?

    Totally agree. I used to hear..."but the weight" oh who gives a crap if you are a trail rider. Off trail yeah I can see the concern. The EPS actually makes the sled ride and handle as if it's lighter. The isolation from every little trail imperfection is really annoying too. I don't hear that...

    The New 2004 Yamaha's

    I had the original viper (still think that was one of the best looking sleds), warrior, vector, original apex, still have the apex XTX. During that time the amount of change/improvements from year to year caused me to upgrade. Significant enough for me to do so each and every year. Then after my...

    My legend trailer has the straight tongue too. I'm not a gear head but I have great mechanics. One of them fabricated a steel u channel type cross member and bolted it to the tongue. He then mounted the connection points for the trunion bars to that. Works great and I always use the WD setup...

    It's still cool. Like to be able to heat hands or helmet visors when necessary when freezing rain arrives.

    They don't appear to be "new" trails.

    Michigan dnr adding new trails

    The map appears to be sections of 14 east of L'Anse over to Big Bay and then sections of 5 down to Koski, Trail 8 by Michigamme and the trail between Marquette and Big Bay. I don't think Baraga grooms any of them. These are trails that are usually well kept and looks to only secure their future...

    How was your riding season ?

    Indy that's awesome that you all go out as a family. The "little man" will always remember those rides no matter how insignificant they may seem at the time. You are doing a great job. Congratulations.

    How was your riding season ?

    This year was much better than the last two years. Last two season could only get out two days each year and it sucked. This year managed 8 rides for almost 1,800 miles, so much better. Rode with a friend of mine as well as my son for all of those miles and am grateful for the time with him...

    2023 Yamaha Snowmobiles?

    Well said. That's why I have moved from being a lifetime Yamaha guy (sleds, wave runners, ATV's and side by sides) since the early 80's to 100% BRP for purchases going forward. Great choices models and accessories. Really like dealing my local dealer too.

    Good point. Wonder who’s making these decisions to make trucks that are more and more difficult to work out of and use?

    Question on Norway Spruce trees

    Deep thorough watering once per day is fine for the first few weeks. After that just use your fingers to check the root ball to keep it moist and water as needed to keep it moist. NOT saturated or flooded

    Question on Norway Spruce trees

    Based on where you are planting them I’m going to assume the soil is sandy or mostly sand. If that’s true water more often. Keep root ball moist for the first several weeks and possibly the first growing season depending on rainfall rates and temps. If the soil is mostly clay or partial clay...

    Rollover I-75 Southbound Gaylord Exit

    It has to be the added weight. Heavier frame and other components equals more weight. Like someone else alluded to…dog is wagging the tail instead of the other way around. Just wish they would stop making them taller and taller. Duramax forum had guys complaining too. Many have to work downtown...
