How do you like it, thinking of running that bag on the Cat next year instead on the large Cat tunnel bag. That’s the bag I run! Either on top of the fuel tank or without it. Works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the SR21 bag alone can you still use the med tunnel bag in front of it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the UNT mount raises the tank just enough so it can be moved back and up enough to go around the tail light. Get Rob to give you my number and I’ll text you a bunch of pics John! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have studs on the sleds and was thinking of skipping the 600 sport but may try this idea I talked to guy from I grips at show a few years ago. They seem to stay in well if done properly. He recommended a cold weather glue for added security. I may try it myself since track is now half worn anyways. I asked my dealer about it and he cringed and told me I am better off to change out track to an ice ripper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been done along time and that system should be proven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Well that's it for sledding here. Weather turned to crap yesterday. Sunny and warm +15*, when I went to get my sled shocks yesterday. Then lots of thunder w/ dark clouds. The front & thunderstorm rolled thru around 6. Club Zoom meeting & we were told our trails are now closed & the groomers returned to the clubhouse. I see on the ITG that Old Hastings trails are yellow. @Turbo Doo You guys have fun up on the Corridor & watch out for transports on the trails. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost ran over a pine martin coming in the A trail hydro line coming into Hearst. Poor guy didn't know what to do, when he had a pack of 900T's running the C note at him... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martens are very curious, probably wanted to check out the sleds. We had run away, stop, look back, repeat on the trail north of Hornepayne 1 trip.

Crow Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Season officially ended here Thursday morning. Daylight revealed what the warm winds did overnight, and continued to do all day Thursday. Went from sleds going by on the trail behind the house Wednesday night, to motorcycles on the highway, and farm fields completely bare except for the odd sheltered spots. Pulled some signs and pickets Saturday and closed all our gates. Will get the rest done this week. Edited March 14, 2021 by Crow 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderman Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Yup, was in Langton area yesterday - 2 weeks ago - sleds ripping around on the trails - yesterday - not a flake of snow/base - or anything winter related to be seen. Crazy how fast it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The field coming out of the far side of the bush is wheat and it doesn't look very good where the trail was especially on the peak of the hill. Will wait and see what some sum and warmth does.

Not sure but crop damage has always been a concern as you well know not a lot of farming experience here but I remember a quick melt is good also checking the wheat fields before the winter cant hurt since maybe it wasnt that good but if its on the trail that is something clubs have to address with the landowner we will have wheat next winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 We've had years where the winter wheat died where the trail was, and others where the only place it survived was under the trail base. I think most the problem with WW is the cold winds after the melt. This year looks like that kind of year. Snow and ice cover melted Wednesday and wheat had a green tinge to it. We've had cold now for days and very strong winds and wheat beside my house is all brown. Bro' thinks it's toast, I guess we'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold shouldn’t hurt it after melt, it just goes dormant again. Most of our past winter wheat was lost to water damage, when water lays in field due to frozen drains and suffocates it. Never had to destroy a field, usually get on there with some nitrogen early in grow season and greens and thickens right up. Just depends how established it was before winter came, Is biggest factor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping you're right, but that's not been our results the last few years we planted it. Gave up on planting it for 3-4 years now, decided to give it a go again. We did switch planters to no-till since we stopped growing it, so maybe will make a difference? But it didn't work out last spring for a lot of acres around out area last spring the neighbors planted either. This may be the deciding year if we try again or not. On a side note, trails crossed 4 of our WW fields this season, just how things worked out. I put up seeded area signs on 1 as I didn't have more at the time, and lazily didn't put up more when I did get some. Turns out that the one that had signs, was the only one the clowns drove all over. F'n rebels I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
