Title: New Pair of Wheels to the stable .
Post by MMRanch on 11/25/16 at 20:39:07

Black Friday deals . ::)

My son's Four-wheeler is about gone so I gave him the options of :
Taking over the one I've been ridding
or
Getting his fixed .

He likes the Honda 350 Ranger better than the 250 Bayou , :o

We don't need more than one 4-wheeler anyway , but some times we need to double team chasing cows . So , for the second ATV I got us one of these : 6.5 HP.

About the price of a calf. $399.oo / a lot less than a new 4-wheeler ! ;)

Its a little bit scarry how fast it takes off ... if ya butt is on the "rear-section" of the seat then your in for a wheelie :o

I hope you got one that runs well. A few years ago a fellow at work bought 2 of them....one for each of his sons. One ran well, the other one was way down on power. I took the carb apart and cleaned it, and it didn't run any better afterwords.....the darn thing would get left behind by the other one.

Wow a real rancher how cool , across the street is a small cattle ranch , they are our best neighbors. I always wanted a ranch maybe with some orchards & a garden. But sadly I'm stuck inbetween working in the big city and living in country.

MM , I read something about your new ride. The wheel bearings are sealed on both sides and next to nothing for lube inside causing failures. So if you remove the bearings & pop off one seal pack them with grease & reinstall with the seals facing out they should last awhile. Also heard of some clutches failing but no fix for that just replace it ?

I don't know if 28 cows makes a Ranch , but we can't have a Farm cause we don't till no dirt except a garden.

I'm already thinking about the clutch on the belt drive rotor-tiller replacing the clutch on the mini bike (the mirror image of it). I took it up the hills today to see if it would climb , before I go mounting fence-repair gear on those big racks. It went up just fine ... but ... :-[ ... There ain't no engine break coming down :o

There is a rear break (drum) that will lock-up the rear tire on blacktop if ya get on it. But it will wear out in short order coming down these Lynchburg hills.

I was reading a little about the Tork-converters made for these small engines. Best I can gather they might not supply any engine breaking down hill either ... :-?
any body had any experience with the pulleys that change sizes as ya speed up and slow down ?

MM , Yeah that's like a snowmobile drive , one long gear , no compression braking at all , got the set up on my 18 h/p gokart

Lower tire pressure some so it won't roll so fast !
