You have a point. The closest I’ve come to getting seriously stuck was when I broke through ice into almost 2’ of water. There was water flowing at that point under the ice across the “trail”, otherwise it would’ve been frozen solid too. No way I would’ve wanted to put my arms into that 32.1...

It was only a matter of time before someone thought of this. The 46-48” traction boards aren’t practical for a UTV. Just too big. MaxTrax now offers a 25” long version for UTVs. Stupidly expensive. However, I had one molded plastic thingy years ago in my car that helped multiple people get...

2022 Defender HD10 XT with 30” System3 XTR370 tires and I do have enough rubbing issues that I’m considering forward a-arms. It’s a problem when turning sharply going downhill (more weight on front) or when 1 front wheel hits a stump or edge of a bank, compressing the shock on that side...

I am considering a Safe Jack bottle jack. It’s compact and powerful. Plus Safe Jack sells several useful extensions. I really like the idea of the scissor jack secured up above inside the cab. Out of the way and it stays clean. However, you’d need a big scissor jack to lift high enough and may...

2022 Defender HD10 XT. I assumed from the start that I’d get tracks for next winter; however, I just got my tow vehicle (4Runner) and am shopping for a trailer now. AFAICT Defender is 74-1/2” wide and 140” long with tracks => 7x14’ trailer. Even with aluminum trailer, that puts me on the edge...

Looks great!     What’s the offset on those wheels?  Compared to stock?

Not really Downeast but still Maine. I raise Belted Galloways and trees for lumber, firewood & pulp. Pic shows machine less than 90 minutes after unloading. It got a LOT muddier today…   Heat but not AC.  Yes I spent a mountain of money on enclosed cab, full skid plates, etc. but the...

Haha I got a really nice folding 21” bow saw a couple weeks ago.  Had to make 2 cuts in 12” log across trail this afternoon and am ordering cordless chainsaw tonight.
