    track grips on trailer gate for loading

    As some of you know I purchased my first 4 stroke sled this year a XF1100 Crosstour, one thing I have noticed when I put it in the building for storage is the high low end torque as the track would spin on my shop trailer as well on the concrete floor where I keep it when trying to move it...

    Winter Weather Forecast

    entertainment purposes only to me but as jr37 stated..."doesn't hurt to dream" as long as there is snow in the greater north woods this year I'll be happy, given up on snow down here during winter. Hoping it will be a banner year for all of the Northwoods this year.

    Four stroke oil change

    this is on a Suzuki 1100cc, I thought it had to be done on other engines as well, or was at least recommended to anyways since it is a dry sump system, and as I posted I have read where people do it and people don't and was just hoping for some input. I would think it would self bleed but again...

    Mower leaving lines advice

    yes, the deck should be lower in front than rear, I favor the high end of spec and set pitch at 3/8 of an inch, that way the leading edge of blade will be cutting the grass, and again thats measuring off of blade tips not deck pan, what's going on there has noting to do with pitch or level
