Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

[pmsmechanic]

Picking up some self drilling screws after work for the atv tracks... about 80 each... we're expecting a foot of snow, and everyone's driveway are a solid sheet of ice.

If you do a "ice studs" search on eBay or google you can find screws made for the job. Some even have tungsten inserts. For now I would do the same as you. It's pretty hard to put chains on tracks.

Bought 400 screws.... only realized one box was different. I'll only be about 20 short... the box in the pic is the wrong box, although they are 3/4"X 12

Glad to see they are a little staggered


One thing I'm doing is going behind the drill and using a wrench to make the screwdriver slot sideways. That way I'll get a little extra forward bite, and I'll be able to see at a glance if they're backing off.

I like those tracks. I was all set to go quading a little while back and then we got an 18" dump that shut down the trails. Maybe able to get out again now.

What was the source for them? I did a quick look-up and saw models running $3,800ish :confused2:
Also, how does it affect steering effort? Do you have electric power steering?

I got them from the dealership when I bought the bike. They were $5,500ish. Yes the bike's got power steering.

All done! I had 5 left from the 300! I also have two tickets for tonight's $40,000,000 draw... hopefully my luck continues

Took the flash off the camera to try and get better pics







Pictures don't do it justice, she looks mean as heck!

Wrap some black hockey tape around that shovel handle, it sticks out like a sore thumb.
Very nice machine indeed.:thumbsup:

Nothing exotic here but the PTO blower was the best money spent. I did not want a front mount, the FEL is a must have.

Nice rig Brimfield. I bet you were glad to have the blower on this winter! We got off easy compared to you guys in NB!

Well just as a little test I took the trash out to the end of the driveway. Tried to slide on sheer ice on a downhill by braking hard... nearly got thrown into the windshield! Crazy how much these grab! More traction with them on ice then tires on gravel. I'm grinning ear to ear.

The tracks are no longer "4 season" but I didn't intend for them to be anyway. Oh, and just in case you were wondering, the screw heads are 5/16ths.

LOL Picky much!?! Cheech!
