This works great for aggressive tires and those with directional tread as most are designed to dig down through soft material to reach solid ground for traction. This is exactly what you don't want when riding in snow or sand. You need a tread design which propels you forwards rather than digging. The Big Horn 2.0's are awesome all around tires and propel more than dig. Tires are by far the most important factor on an ATV. It's ludicrous to suggest certain tires don't give a huge advantage over others. There's a reason why some guys can rip around everywhere in deep snow without getting stuck while others sharing your opinion get stuck in every drift or slush pocket around. Yep. But, this only works with tires that have directional tread and is a complete waste of time doing so with unidirectional tread. My lord, please do not take anymore advice from whoever told you the smaller front tires are a mismatch as 95% of ATV's sold will have a narrower front tire. Why? The narrower front tires are easier for the machine to push through material which then creates a tire track for the wider rears to follow which makes it easier to get around. Narrower front tires are also much easier to steer and provide better handling. However, some people will switch to skinny/skinny or wide/wide combinations rather than the standard skinny front/wide rear configuration. skinny/skinny - mudders do this as it makes it easier for the tires to dig down to solid ground for traction wide/wide - sand/powder snow as it provides better flotation skinny front/wide rear - best overall performance Stock tires are a joke and are best for those who ride paved trails

Been using the same method as Fisherman for 3 seasons with synthetic rope with minimal wear. Before switching to this I used a steel cable straight from winch to plow and broke the cable the first winter using it.

The house we bought has a fireplace that failed inspection and ended up getting 10k taken off the selling price because of this. We were ready to get it rebuilt, but then started reading about this stuff and now we don't know if it makes any sense having it rebuilt to meet current regulations. What troubles me is the previous owners had it inspected two years ago and they were using it until the sale but the inspector this time works for a company which just happens to specialize in rebuilding fireplaces and chimneys and he failed it. Should we just repair the minor defects and have it reinspected by another individual? I'm thinking this inspector fails fireplaces to generate revenue for his company. He says it needs a complete rebuild, but I disagree. Needs a new chimney liner, rain cap needs to be thicker, stone on the bottom needs to be extended 4", and some other minor stuff I can do myself. I just don't see how it's been fine for 50 years and now suddenly it's completely unsafe to use?

Not just with sleds. The good old "when in doubt, throttle out" can save your butt on a wide range of vehicles and has for me many times. It's astonishing how many clueless people there are out there operating machinery from cars to motorcycles to sleds when they shouldn't even be trusted with a bicycle in a parking lot. It's unfortunate that the friends and family of the deceased are the ones who end up suffering. Harsh? Maybe. But it's 2016 and there are zero excuses for stuff like this when the tools (internet, training courses, compact augers, FLOTATION SUITS) to help avoid such mishaps are so readily available. I bought a sled last year and was actually criticized for wearing my ice fishing flotation suit instead of my non floating suit as I didn't have the funds to buy a nice floater. Apparently the red clashes with my blue sled and we're suppose to put priority on appearance over function.

The padlock was merely a suggestion for those on a limited budget, I would never install one on one of my interior doors. Point is they want firearms to be secured in another manner besides simply locking your entry doors which is why both non and restricted need their own means of securing them. The government is not saying it's okay for anyone to enter one room or another and this is simply a common sense approach. Let's say you have family over for Christmas and you have firearms in the house. Which seems safer? Having unsecured firearms in the house that everyone has access to once they're inside your front door or firearms that are locked in their own room, security cabinet, or have trigger locks installed. The only time that trigger lock is legally required on your non restricted shotgun is if it's being stored in your home with no other method of keeping it secured, such as hanging on the wall or in a closet. Any other time you're simply going above what is required and is a waste of time and money. Using a trigger lock when not required makes as much legal sense as stopping twice at a stop sign, wearing two seat belts, or going half the speed limit...

Guys, to be clear, a security cabinet that is fully legal to store non restricted firearms without trigger locks can be as simple as a tool chest or wooden box as long as it has a lock and needs tools to be opened. A secure room can be as simple as a spare bedroom with a padlock on the door. They likely don't have safes or store bought gun cabinets to store the guns, but I am sure they can afford a simple padlock and hasp. netminder, you personally may not want to steal property from law abiding Canadians, but you can bet it's on the agenda of some. Do you not recall the 2014 reclassification of a couple firearms that turned them from non restricted and restricted into prohibited firearms with the stroke of a pen? If the conservatives hadn't reversed the RCMP's decision, thousands of law abiding Canadians would have been forced to hand over their newly reclassified firearms with zero compensation (over $2k each to buy) or become criminals. Why did the RCMP do this? Because these guns LOOK like prohibited firearms. They're semi auto and fire at the same rate as your grandpa's semi auto rifle. That's right, the RCMP attempted to ban them on looks and looks alone.

Icefisherman, that's one of the vents you have on the Grizzly and there should be a few more slid through little plastic loops on the back of the pod around where the clear line is in your pic. You should have more near the air box and another on the right side of the tank. What year? Believe it or not, but there are 6 vent lines on the Grizz that should be kept clear and above water, 7 if you have EPS: -Power steering unit -Front Differential -Electric fan -Radiator overflow bottle -Gas tank -Throttle body -Rear differential When I added snorkels to my 700 I extended all of these lines to the end of the snorkels to be sure nothing would suck water. She was full of water 2 times before I finally decided to add the snorkels. Edit: Forgot to add that I believe in 09 they switched to rubber bellows on the EPS. Too much moisture getting into the EPS units through the vent lines.

The huge majority of riders complaining about synthetic rope are the ones who didn't do the swap properly by replacing or polishing the winch drum and fairlead that they used with steel cable. Then you have the people who simply wrap the rope around an anchor point and put the hook back on the line then wonder why the rope broke. I use an aluminum hawse fairlead: As for the winch, seeing as it can be your one and only way of getting the machine out when you're stuck, I say go with Warn. I have seen a few units fail, but nowhere near as many as the lower quality units out there. *side note for anyone with a Warn...you can upgrade your existing 2500lb to a 3000lb pull by simply replacing the 8 gauge power wires with 6 gauge. Literally the only difference between the two units.

So many Canadians have wasted money on trigger locks for non restricted firearms that they don't need in the first place. If you store them in a security cabinet, secure room or locked vehicle you're simply wasting your time and money. The only time they're required on non restricted firearms is when you're not using one of the three methods listed above for storage of the firearm, such as under the bed or in a closet. Besides, it takes mere seconds to pop one off with a knife.

There has to be half of one laying around in a junk yard somewhere? Last year I paid $20 for two, but I had to remove them from the trucks myself. I have a 6 x 10 enclosed trailer with a high value anti slip rubber membrane to protect the deck so when I bought my sled last year I had to be sure the carbides wouldn't tear up the membrane. I simply cut some 60" x 10" strips and screwed them down and it works great. Decent for the ATV, but it wants to move around a bit more so I use a couple extra straps. Strips of bedliner can be zip tied to ATV loading ramps so you can use the same ramps all year...

I've had the Options card for a few years and was upgraded to a higher level where I earn a ton more points on all purchases. Use the card for everything from a single coffee to gas to utility bills and the free money for CT just racks up. 10+ years since I got the card and I haven't paid $0.01 in interest while they've paid for plenty of free stuff.

Lots of how-to's online for making your own heated clothing...

I suggest riding a Yamaha ATV as the CVT and wet clutch setup is nothing like what's on a sled. Polaris ATV's are more like sleds (dry clutch) where the RPM's need to climb a bit before the clutch engages and is likely the same deal with your sled. However, the Yamaha ATV's are much different as they almost feel like they're shaft driven because there is instant response and engagement and there is zero problem towing heavy loads at slow speeds or on rough terrain. You'll snap axles before the belt slips with the Yamaha and the belts last forever.

Yes, they do. While other companies are in a race for the most powerful ATV, Yamaha has spent the last 8 years fine tuning their 700's to make them even better. They're all about quality and reliability, not power. Even so, my 07 Grizzly 700 with almost 7,000 kms has zero problems ripping wheelies without any body english (using your body/weight to maneuver the machine) even though it's been full of water twice, been in several good "mishaps" with trees that jumped out of nowhere, rolled plenty of times, and been beat on like it was stolen. I don't know how, but it still runs and handles like new.

Four pages of replies and not a single mention of teeth? Incoming teeth can turn the best little angel of a baby into a devil, especially if there are multiple teeth coming in. Our oldest is 2 1/2 years old and the baby is nearly 8 months. The exact same thing you're talking about happened with the first and is currently happening with the second. The only thing you can do about it is mommy and daddy need to nap during the day until you're out of this stage. As for supplementing with cereals and formulas, nothing is better for baby than breast milk. The foods you're feeding could also be the culprit. I've never understood why some parents are in such a rush to get their kids eating food and it's almost as if some think it'll result in a bigger, better or smarter baby when it couldn't be farther from the truth. Many from across the pond will give nothing but breast milk for the first couple years. Breast fed babies wake up more often during the night, especially while teething. Everything is normal and I would fire the sleep consultant. I'm getting neutered in March. Now she's trying to convince me to get her knocked up before then....

From what I have heard from various sources they receive very little training with their firearms here in Canada and the majority of officers only complete the minimum range time required. Most officers couldn't hit a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood at 30 paces... I think you've watched too many movies if you think any tactical ability is required to stop a shooter in a situation like this. Take cover, unholster firearm, shoot.

So, what you're saying is when the government enacts stricter rules and punishes the masses for the mishaps caused by a few bad apples it will magically stop the problem? I'm not sure if you're aware of this or not, but stricter rules and harsher penalties on the highway have not stopped drunk driving, speeding, or distracted driving. Care to explain how stricter gun control will somehow stop people with bad intentions from getting their hands on firearms? You can't, because it wont and never will. Why? The majority of firearms used in crime are either imported from other countries and/or stolen from law abiding enthusiasts. How will stricter rules for law abiding citizens stop someone from breaking into their home and stealing their firearms? It wont. How will banning certain firearms stop people from committing murder? It wont. How will stricter licensing requirements prevent senseless deaths when criminals get guns off the streets? It wont. Maybe we should try some sort of registry to better track firearms to save lives? That doesn't work either. I'm not arguing or making up excuses, just trying to give you a different perspective from a well informed and law abiding citizen who enjoys owning and using firearms. What sort of gun control do you believe would stop these killings?

Quite a few people forgot to register their firearms the first time around and that was when people weren't really sure if the program would work or not. Now that everyone knows how expensive and useless the registry is I think they'd be lucky to get 50% of the firearms in Canada registered. With the registry being gone for a while now, every single person owning a non restricted could simply say they sold their guns after the registry bit the dust and they no longer have said firearms. It just won't work, unless illegal copies of the registry were kept.... The registry was such a horrible idea that any party who says they'll bring in another registry is just asking to lose votes.

Yamaha G3 Deep V Angler 17' Yamaha 90 hp Four Stroke Stainless prop 70 km/h when alone with no gear 60-65 km/h with riggers, gear, food, ice, etc It gets up on plane super fast and is plenty good for fishing, but I really want to see how she'd run at the maximum rating of 150 hp for those days when we're boarding and tubing instead of fishing. It's a slug with 4 adults and some gear on board.

Not a physics wizard, but I can tell you that a slightly worn 10,000 lb strap can be broken by an ATV in a 80 km/h collision...

Many winches have been ruined by people doing exactly that. Winches are not intended to take shock loads from towing or trailering which is why you should never use them for for these purposes. Many of the housings out there, including economy model Warns, are constructed of plastic and shock loads can and will cause premature failure. Anyone who uses their machine or trailers a lot will tell you that using a winch line as a tow line or in place of a tie down is just asking for trouble. I've personally seen at least a half dozen issues each season over the past few years. Winch housings cracking, both synthetic and steel lines breaking, ATV's coming loose from loose line on the winch drum, plastic gears sheared off winch housings, etc... Use straps or chains to secure the ATV with 2 on each end anchored towards the corners. Better yet, do it the best way and use ratcheting tire straps.

Thank you for being a perfect example as to why insurance companies don't want homeowners removing their own oil tanks. Homeowners will often attempt projects such as this on their own and it sometimes has catastrophic results. What does the following mean in laymen's terms? Improper removal = BOOM! FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS of No. 2 Home Heating Oil OSHA and NFPA Class 2 COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID (see Section 14 for transportation classification). Vapors may be ignited rapidly when exposed to heat, spark, open flame or other source of ignition. When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source, flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces. Being heavier than air, vapors may travel long distances to an ignition source and flash back. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard.

One needs to accept the fact that nothing in life is perfect and almost everyone goes through a rough time at one point or another. That said, I know three people quite well who own rental units and are doing quite well. From what I gather being a landlord is just like running a business or holding a supervisor position. Some people can do it and excel while others don't stand a chance and will be eaten alive. I work with a "professional renter", who just won a monthly $300 decrease in rent in court against a slumlord, and his #1 advice is to have the place up to date and follow the rules as there is no better way to encourage tenants to screw you over than being a deadbeat slumlord who owns infested and unsafe buildings. A tenant should not have to call a landlord more than once about issues with the building. They call, you or someone else fixes the problem quickly. Zero excuses. It's the landlords who put off repairs or updates that will have the majority of problems. I'll be renting out my mortgage free home for $1500 monthly after we move into our new place and am really looking forward to letting tenants pay our bills....and maybe the odd vacation

It sure makes thing's interesting when people who get their facts from Walt Disney start sharing their very misinformed opinions about the hunting and trapping of coyotes.

Mmmm....White Rhino *stomach rumbles* I thought winternet would be over by now?
