A perfect day today for gathering some firewood, cleaning out some of the standing dead spruce and pine in the woods around the place. Kubota has my Curtis plow on it and chains, along with a load of wood. Started off at about -15F this morning, but got up to about -10. Too hot to keep my...

Those of us who depend on wood for staying warm all winter are intimately familiar with the never-ending task of cutting, bucking, splitting and stacking the fireword (not to mention getting to the woodlot and then bringing the firewood 'home'--a good Kubota chore). Anyway, as one who depends...

Does anyone have the specs for the hydraulic pto on the 900 worksite model? I know that there is one pump that supplies both the dump and the hydraulic utility connections. And I understand that the flow is 5gpm. But what is the pressure? I am trying to figure out if I can use the...

For those still waiting to try out their snow plows, you need to be in the Yukon! We had a considerable dump of snow all day Friday, continuing into Saturday morning. Heavy, wet stuff--quite unusual for us. Anyway, needed to get back into the swing of things with my plow. Just the OEM Curtis...

I just discovered this on You Tube and it is quite the machine. Never saw anything quite like it--a Fordson tractor running on top of snow with twin screw-like flotation tubes. Check it out at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBjlSJf4274&NR=1 Can see why they might not have taken off if you...

Anyone familiar with DR Power equipment? (DR stands for 'Done Right') You can check them out at: http://www.drpower.com/. I have just ordered their Power Grader after watching their videos and checking out reviews on various forums. I am also considering getting one of the chippers in the...

Hi guys. Wanted to let you know that I am still alive and kicking. Didn't intend to drop off the forum, but went through a significant job change which changed how I manage my time on the computer. Appreciate Zoom's efforts to remind me from time to time that I was missed. Looks like there...

Hi guys. With all the postings about hunting and fishing down south, I thought you might enjoy seeing how we crazy Canucks make the most of winter... Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x768VAsOQSw</p> And for the record, my RTV900 seems to love the cold. I'll try to get some pics...

Can't resist sharing this just received from my sister in CA: </p> The photo below captures a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect U.S. wildlife. Animals that were formerly self-sufficient are now showing signs of belonging to the Democratic Party... as they have apparently learned...

Hi guys. Sorry to have disappeared for a while. Wanted to report on my moose/caribou hunt last week. Sadly, our warmer than usual autumn has apparently delayed the rut, so no success in calling in the bull moose who are still in the high country. But a great time in the bush, nonetheless, with...

My sister, who is a blonde, sent me this joke this morning and I cannot resist passing it along... A blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finally finds his way to a stool and orders a cup of coffee. He sips his coffee for a minute or two then hollers "hey, anybody...

Hi guys. On the road with family for the past few days, visiting other family members in Alaska. Thought to share the view from my brother-in-law's deck yesterday... Great hunting country--moose, caribou, black bear, grizzleys, and mountain sheep.</p> </p> Some lovely country!</p> </p>

We've got our 15 year old adopted grandson with us for the summer. Our daughter and her husband adopted the lad when he was nine. He had been removed from his birth familly some years previously to save him from a horribly abusive situation (every kind of abuse you can think of). As you might...

Saw three Harley's passing through town today, all with Lousiana license plates. Didn't get a chance to speak with them, but presume they had come the entire route on their bikes. Certainly they were carrying enough gear! No sign of crawdads or swamp mud, mind you. But wanted to let Tommy know...

Just to report that I finally broke down and got a spray-on bedliner applied to my RTV. I ended up going with Armaguard (which I gather is called Ameriguard in the USA). Choices this far north are limited, but I have to say that I am impressed by the outcome so far. Will let you know how it...

Two Guns provided a link to a firewood machine (in ban travel thread), but I could not get it to open. However, for the record, thought I would post a pic of my firewood production machine. Works OK so far... :-)</p> </p> </p> </p> </p>

Not quite ready for planting here in the North! But here is my 'Bota at work with the snowblower on Saturday. We had a (for us) a dump of snow over Friday night with strong winds, so really packed in solid, especially at the top of our road, which is where the video (link below) shows me working...

As I have indicated in another thread, after doing a lot of research into what would be the best machine to meet my needs here in the Yukon bush, with almost 1.5 miles of narrow road to keep clear of snow and lots of firewood to keep coming all year and the odd hunting excursion, the RTV900 came...

Looking for experienced advice... I live in the Yukon 'bush' and have more than 2km (1.24 miles) 'driveway' to plow. 16 months ago I bought a 2007 Arctic Cat Prowler with a Curtis plow. To say the least, I have been extremely disappointed. I am sure it suits hunters and light yard work...
