  1. Got out and cleared mine before it got too warm so it was still nice and light. Then the wind came up and drifted a lot of it back in. It has warmed up enough now that it isn't drifting any more and things are starting to melt again. I sure hope this is the last of it though!

     

    Thanks Guys.

     

    I'm hoping for a slow melt.

  2. They were bang on for my area last night, both with the amount of snow and the time it would start and stop. They also said we'd get some sun this afternoon and that's exactly what we have right now.

     

    Course it's not very often that happens :lol:

    Hey Lew, our cottage is west of Buckhorn.

     

    Still have a foot on the roof. How much snow did you get last night?

  3. Went thru the same process last few years and hate to part with cash.

     

    After much help from guys on this site, went with Honda PGE 420 Canadian Trail Edition

     

    You need to sort out if you want :

     

    Power steering

    Independent rear suspension

    Fuel injection

    CVT or not. All are CVT except Honda

    Single, 2UP, or side by side

     

    Over and over again I heard from experienced guys that the Japanese machines are more reliable.

     

    Almost everybody says go with power steering and fuel injection.

     

    For trail riding, independent rear suspension will give you more ground clearance and a smoother ride

     

    For towing or other farm work, most guys prefer a solid rear axle

     

    Side by sides and even 2UPs are not legal on any roads, even with no passengers

     

    I saw in a recent outdoor magazine that Honda still has their $1000 off for some 2013 models

     

    My other choice would have been Yammy. The 450 with power steering -but doesn't come with fuel injection

     

    The Yammy 550 EPS has it all but is around $10K. My Honda was $8100 in camo plus HST including rebate

     

    The last thing you want is a stupid breakdown in the middle of no-where. Then an expensive repair bill on top.

     

    So far so good with the Honda but hardly broken in. Talk to me in 5 yrs
