The wood is also hidden/frozen at this point LOL. I will stick to my original plan of getting it when I am back there for other reasons.

Alright I have you a solution that will be easier than moving your house back there. Buy about a mile or so of triple wall pipe, and all the materials you need to build an OWB. Burn the oak on site and just pipe the heat home. Oh and you're gonna need a pretty strong blower, too.
I prefer to be paid in cash for my consulting services so just let me know when you're headed towards Indiana.
Lol. Thermopex looses heat at one degree per 100 feet so it will still be above freezing when it gets to the houses.
I thought that through the other night.
A guy just needs to unbolt the cast hitch and fabricate a steel hitch to bolt into place.
I'll post a pic when I get the wheeler out later. It's a pretty Mickey Mouse design considering what Yamaha normally does.

Mine had a cheasy flat hitch (no 2" receiver) i made a recever for it. Then over worked when jerkin logs out. I did a quick ugly reinforcing repair to get me back goin that day and been goin strong since.
Im sure with all us on here we could figire somethin out.

What I really should do is buy another wheeler that's a little newer and already has one.
I have to see what the kids are thinking for fall sports. If a few of them are going to be free on weekends I may do that. I could cash in a few chainsaws and cover most of the cost.

Trail upgrade sounds like the way to go. Several years ago Cantoo mentioned that the snowmobile trails near him have utilized old semi flatbed trailers as bridges. Now that would be a project. You could use large timbers like crane mats are made of, and bolted up. Salvaged bar joists, steel beams, etc.
I could just fill the ruts with Aspen logs!

I'll have the boys take a pic of the hitch setup we used on those 400's. It's all we ran for shop machines and we would load them down so heavy I would have to sit on the front rack to steer. One of the best ATV's ever built.
I'm missing what separates it from most ATV's?

Polaris made one as well. The ATP.

Buck it and stack it in the summer, pick it up with your sled in the winter.

I believe it's also around a foot longer wheelbase, that would be good for going up/downhill but of course your breakover angle suffers. Arctic Cat's seem to be real workhorses as well compared to some other brands so it's something I keep an eye on. Got a motorcycle that just sits around collecting dust, would be wise of me to sell or trade in on something like this. My decision making skills are rather poor though, so maybe that's why I have yet to act on one.
