aplumma Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 If it makes it any easier think of it in inches it doesn't sound as bad. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 If it makes it any easier think of it in inches it doesn't sound as bad. Art Naw, a centemeter is a lot smaller than an inch, easier to shovel that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Isn't it amazing how weather magically stops at the border? I'm at the weather station right now. Snow is still light, but the winds just picked up. I've currently got N/E winds at 25 knots gusting to 36. Reduced vis in blowing snow.. Going outside for a smoke break is an ordeal. In all probability I'll be here for a while. Supposed to get off at 6am tomorrow morning, but I can't leave 'till my relief shows up and he drives a '92 Caravan with pieces of baloney instead of actual tires. I'm guessing it might be 20 hours on the job before I get to go home. Edited February 2, 2011 by solopaddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 LOL Bernie.. how fast will that go with the tracks on?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 LOL Bernie.. how fast will that go with the tracks on?? It does close to 90 k on tires and on tracks on hard surface about 75. Works pretty good. I'm impressed so far. Still not a sled though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Yah.. but a tad more versitility for some areas. Overall width still 4'... that it would fit sled trails on portages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hmmm, not sure how wide it is? Didn't measure it. I'd say more than 4. The tracks stick out at least 4 inches more than the tires on the front to allow steering clearance. I wouldn't use it on the trails anyway, I'd just use a sled. I use this for a workhorse.

Bernie Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Still allows clearance for the plow B? I had to extend the plow Gerritt. There is an extender kit designed for it that made it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Lotsa snow and wind up this way, but just to make it interesting, we had a bright flash of lightening awhile ago followed by rolling thunder.

solopaddler Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 We're getting pounded here in Hamilton. Thought I was seeing things earlier when lightning flashed as well, unreal Been here at work since 2pm yesterday. My co-worker just called and he can't make it in, so I may be here 'till 2pm today. 24 hours total. I think I'm going insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
