Big boss at work

[ArlyA]

We received a skiff of snow overnight, so da boss went back to work pushing it.

How do you like the faring? Looks like you are getting a lot of use on the pods, how do they do on slopes?

The windshield was for high speed runs which we rarely do in the winter. In fact I'll take it off shortly. Nonetheless, this aftermarket design is pretty darn good for just $60. Operating on side hills is quite easy but we are normally out in softer snow. The lugs also have side bars (what do you call them?), which limits were ability to slide sideways. A good thing and a great difference in operating these on hillsides, when compared to a sled. You just turn the front pods up the hill, then the machine will be trying to go that way.

Really enjoy your snow pictures

Last photo is what our sun looks like, when a NW wind is pushing moisture in off the BIG lake. We've been receiving snow continuously for about 4 days now so as you might guess, the boss has been pushing it.

Holy cow. To me that is a ton of snow.

Here is the view outside my window.

You look like you are having fun but, snow is not my thing.

Is that MO. I don't recall seeing trees like that when I was there last.

Ha - not Missouri. That picture is from our place in Florida. We spend lots of time in Florida from Dec-February.

There are 2 gators living in the lake. They cause no issues and can be seen well in advance.

Snakes, however, are not as accommodating. I saw one who had a squirrel and they were fighting pretty good. I do not like snakes.

Guys, Gators in your lake in Florida seems like a great thread for you to start.

Big Boss up to the task

 

[ArlyA]

Still snowing here and NOAA's 5 day forecast for us is 100% chance for more. (most days have us 100% anyway) :laughing:

Great pictures

Our machine in the snow this past week. These are taken near Mass City MI at a NFS a Winter Survival and Off Trail Snowmobile Training course. All snowmobiles there could and did get stuck in the 3ft of fresh snow. The boss was not bothered by that depth. :thumbsup:

More work photos taken today. Moving this implement up to the storage garage. Its a 108" Ginzu we picked up over the weekend.

Very nice groomer

Guys, I'd start a thread about the rehabbing of this snow implement, but what section would should be posted??

If we could afford the $$$, this is the machine we'd replace our boss with. Its a 1000cc can-am Outlander with much more HP.

Now THAT is an ATV!

What would happen to the rubber tracks if you ran that machine on grass, pavement, etc in the warm months? Would the tracks break, rip, split or would they just wear down quickly?
Or would they be ok like on a mini excavator?
