    Hauling a skid steer in a dump trailer

    Long story short, I buggered up the hitch on my 18' deck over trailer that I haul my skid steer on and I think its going to be a total loss. When hauling snow, I have a single axle dump truck with a 7'x14' box I use to pull the trailer and when just piling snow I pull the trailer with my F350...

    I changed stock tires to 28" Zillas on my 2010 Sportsman 500 and thought I would be ok in the tire to fender clearance department but I'm having issues. While riding yesterday, I heard the tire hitting on the fender while taking on some pretty substantial bumps. I carry gas, tools ropes etc...

    CV boot question

    So I just replaced a front outboard CV joint on my Sportsman 500. After I was done putting the bands on, I noticed there was grease between the boot and the joint on the big end. The band is on properly as I used the proper tool to tighten it but I am still able to rotate the boot around with...

    Clutch issues on Sportsman 500

    I took my primary and secondary apart on my 2010 Sportsman 500 in prep for a new clutch kit to compensate for the 28" tires I just put on. This is what the sliding half of the primary looks like. Fixed half is about half as much groove. This is what the secondary looks like. Balls wore to...

    Front and back rack storage options

    Ok, now that I have purchased my first quad, 2010 Sportsman 500, I am looking at options for rear cargo boxes. I went to the local dealer and they have the OEM one that clips on to the racking and is kind of slick. It is $220.00 but is a little on the small side I think. I was at Rec Supply...

    My buddy was riding his sled today when it started bogging and backfiring. He shut it down quick and we went and got it with the trailer. Did compression test, 125 on all three cylinders, spark on all plugs. Starts up quick but sounds like only running on two cylinders intermittently. Hard...

    Looking for a truck

    I'm looking to pick up an older 3 ton dump truck for hauling snow. Does anyone know of any private dealers in your area? I searched the web for hours and can only find big dealerships carrying newer trucks. Would prefer a Sask truck but a good AB truck may be an option.
