Try telling one of my club members that we need cold before snow. LOL.

I remember the 2001-2002 season I didn't take my first trip until February 22, 2002, because of lack of snow and warm weather. Then northern Wisconsin got hit and I was up in Mercer every weekend in March and rode the last day the trails were open. I never remember a season since I started...

Got an '86 Indy in '85. Great snow in NE Iowa to ride from Christmas to New Year's in '85. The following year, 65 degrees in Chicagoland and no snow to be found anywhere. Finally, the day after Christmas northwestern Wisconsin got snow so we ran up there as fast as we can to ride. I remember...

I do! I remember the summer of '87 and working on a field crew surveying in 100+ degree weather for 5-days to a week straight in the Chicagoland area. I have not see another period of 100+ degree weather in the Chicagoland area since then. (I am referring to actual temperatures, not "feels...

You for got to add the federal grant to pay for it.

Don't assume the engineer is taking every rivet, bolt, clap, etc. into account when figuring the listed dry weight. Also, at what point during the design of the sled did the engineer make the calc, and did they adjust the calcs throughout the design process? Material change here, material...

I would trust a scale over an engineer's estimate of dry weight, any day. Cat doesn't publish their dry weights because they know they are that far off. So, it would be easy to say since Cat doesn't publish them, neither would Yamaha. BTY, the weights are listed on the sled for Cat and...

Is someone identifying and having their monthly?

GOT BOOST?! PUT IT TO USE!

It is a four stroke so it is more sensitive to throttle inputs. Even with them injecting air into the cylinder to make them more like a two stroke, they are still more herky-jerky. Let off the throttle and they nose-dive putting more pressure on the front shocks. Give it throttle and with the...

Cat and Yamaha can easily take the Procross chassis and make a 3rd generation of it and still get a number of years out of it. It could be the best high mileage / touring sled out there. Yes, I consider the '18 MY and above Procross a Gen 2 because there is such a substantial difference...

No, it's Iowa. :)

... all I can say is, DAMN!

Nope. The 1979 Arctic Cat Trail Cat was the first production IFS snowmobile. Unfortunately, Polaris gets the credit.

I am not so sold on the ride forward as the biggest improvement. Yes, it helps with bumpy trails. However, I have noticed that I could drive the sled faster and harder in the corners with the old sit down position, on a groomed trail of course :). The upright position and taller sleds have...

So. At what point in the history of the snowmobile trail system did trespassing increase? From its inception? During the '80's? During the '90's? During the 2000's? During the 2010's? Each one of those decades relate to major changes in the capabilities of snowmobiles.

You might have to look at a Duramax. As of January 2023, they quit making the EcoDiesel Ram 1500. (That's the rumor mill. I am sure you can find one on a lot somewhere.)

Yep, I prepped the tractor.

Great job GRTA! I know we lost a section of trail and are still working on a reroute. It sounded like the Skinner's never were going to playball. If they are doing improvements without a permit to the resort, red tag them and drag your feet. Make sure they bring the entire place up to ADA...

Too may people on here don't have a sense of humor.
