    I love it so far!! Only 8 miles on it now. Was thinking about getting rear tire chains and going to add a winch. Just need to figure out a ice auger mount for it.

    Ordered the digger mount yesterday and it will be here tomorrow! After doing some research I determined that it was my best option. Had the front end apart the other day….made spring spacers for it to stiffen it up and take out some of the sag.

    How long does it take you if you want to swap out and put tires back on?
    been interested in this. If I got them I could sell my snowmobile.

    Very nice. Sweet color! I test drove a 2016 Polaris ranger with a 570 in it and I thought this thing is gonna be a dog…. Boy was I wrong!! Those 570’s really get up and go. 44 hp if I remember right.

    Nice! I’ve considered getting a fatbike (peddle bike with big ol’ tires) with studded tires and a kiddie trailer. I see it working out pretty well for central, mi ice seasons.

    Yeah, I ran into some extra money with a promotion at work and alot of overtime throughout the month of July. It’s definately not $20K! lol. I’m a bargain shopper and try to buy the best I can afford. Go big or go home! haha

    Got my digger auger mount bolted on last night!

    I am now looking into a cargo box/bag of some sort with a backrest for the extra storage and the occasional passenger. Any suggestions?
