Big UTV - Page 5

I like the doors. The maintenance guys tipped over the polaris ranger we have at work and one stuck his foot out. Fortunately only sprained on ankle.

I have a door inserts on order for it. We don't need any workman's comp claims.

The chainsaw and roll of barb wire manage miss them as it went over. Lesson learned to slow down on the ice and snow covered roads.

I have been hesitating, as I have not had the time to figure out the picture thing. I have had several offers help, but need the time to work on it. Most of you have the tech gene, I don't.

The UTV starts very well, even at zero degrees. I have not found any flaws yet. I may have mentioned this has the best welds of any machine I have ever seen. The shift in the tranny from reverse to forward works well, but after shifting you need to tap the throttle gently to encourage the shift. It might be a bit noisy, but I don't have the experience to say. I have not found anything wrong with it at all.

But I have only used it about 15 times. I have looked it over very close. I will give you updates as I have more time and better weather to use it. Spring is just around the corner!

Is reverse housed in the trans or the axle?

The polaris does the same type of thing shifting.

Weldandgrind..... I don't know about reverse, but I will research it. I assume this is some kind of electric switching, and then some of the mechanical movement is required by some mechanical pressure. I do have to shift a lever manually, but it seems like I am not moving gears in the physical shift. I realize that does not seem to make complete sense!
