ATV/UTV Pictures!

[pwright]

Since I am on the verge of buying a UTV, I'm interested in the pictures but looking at them highlights one of the shortcomings of the program script used for this forum. That is when you click on a thumbnail, view the pic, then close the pic, you are transported back to the top of the thread.

I get your point but you don't have to "close" the pic. Just hit the back arrow button or the backspace key and you'll be returned to right where you were. At least on any browser I've used on a PC.

I kinda hate it when people use services like Photobucket as years later they often delete the photos from their account or just delete their Photobucket accounts. Poof! The photos are now missing from the forum threads.

Wow that looks like a fast machine!

For me, it was insanely fast.

For Traskblacktail, There are plenty of paved roads in Afghanistan, but not where these are being used. There are plenty of paved roads in the US, but people don't own ATV's/UTV's to drive on paved roads.

Here is our new 2014 Can Am Outlander Max XT that we took delivery of a few months ago. It is fresh out of the wrapper yet with only about 5 minutes of use. Wife and I bought it to go exploring some of the 3000 miles of trails that Wisconsin has to offer.
Can't wait for the trails to open in the spring.
So far we have added LED lights to the front and a large trunk to the rear. Will be adding more items as time goes on.
(Sorry pic is sideways, but you get the idea. lol)

Nice! I really like the looks of the new CanAms. Good quality and fit and finish.

Well OK, if nobody is going to claim those bonus points, I guess they are mine! I started a new thread this morning, to explain the groomer stuff : http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/atvs-utility-vehicles/300514-groomer5-now-snow.html


And, what about SKIS ?

:drool::drool::drool::drool::drool: You nailed the bonus points! That is an insanely awesome setup!
Are those Camoplast tracks?

That'll work too!
When I was a kid, I was a diehard subscriber of DIRT WHEELS magazine, and I remember reading reviews of the "Rear track, front ski" setup. I would have given anything to have something like that on my Fourtrax at the time. Unfortunately, my dad didn't see it my way hahah.

I apologize if I offended anyone with the "P" word. :laughing:

You can blame me.

Since it's cold out I haven't been able to take any new pics but I did find a couple.

Yes, tracks are Camoplast "2014" model. 2014 has a few nice upgrades, so if you are buying, ask for the 2014, there are still 2013 sets out there I think. 2014 has a couple extra grease zirks, different (softer?) tire compound, and three bearings in oil instead of two in grease, on the main shaft. May have a longer warrantee also, not sure about that.

I read Dirtwheels for years too! The commercial stuff is way too expensive, so I came up with this myself. I built the ski legs and adapted them to some camoplast molded skis, with homemade wear rods. and the rear has tires of course, cause the track sets are too much money (for a quad). These are Mud Machine tires, 10 inch wide, run really low on air, like 0.8 psi. and the rear track is set as narrow as possible using all the options available (hubs on outside of rims, rims offset inward, etc. Don't ask me to tell you why (I could guess), but after much experimenting I have found that narrow gives noticably better traction compared to wide.

It's because the tires are closer to centerline of vehicle. In turns the wider the rear end the more the wheels must slip since each needs to rotate at different speeds but cannot due to solid axle.

That quad with the skis is awesome. How do you like the KTM power? That looks like a very nice ride.

Yes, its the nicest all-around sport quad I have owned. I have been through: Suzuki Quad Racer (250 2-stroke), Honda 250R (250 2-stroke), 2003 and 2005 Polaris Predators (500 4-strokes), and this Polaris Outlaw KTM 525 (KTM 505 cc 4-stroke). Power is more than it needs, really. And powerband is very broad. Front to back balance is perfect, can wheelie when desired, but takes off and lands perfect. Steering is the lightest I've ever experienced, and tracks like on rails. Weight is a little higher than the KTM brand and the CanAm brand, but price is way lower. Too bad they now quit selling these Polaris sport quads. This one is a 2008 and I put brake pads in the rear last weekend, cause the OE ones were getting thin and the front brakes are unavailable when the skiis are on. Otherwise, nothing but oil changes and air filter cleanings in 5-6 years and about 120 hours of operating time.
