Got a little carried away with a new snowblower...

For sure Dave!

 

Well if you have a few snowless Winters, it could be traded in for a chainsaw or five?
MS881 baby!

 

It will probably go for 30% more in the fall! I should have ordered a few as an investment…lol

 

Wait, does he have a skiff that needs a good anchor?

 

Nice machine System ... nuthin like tracks on a blower w/hydrostatic drive and powah steerin'...

 

Next move is to pop an hour meter on it. Already added a SAE pigtail for easy hookup to a battery maintainer.

What a tank! You should put a little stand with skis on it for you to stand on behind it like the commercial mowers have Congrats on an awesome purchase

 

I was thinking that too. Now the million dollar question...............skis or wheels?

 

That’s an awesome machine! It’s so cool to see blower with EFI and hydrostatic drive. Can’t wait to see the review next winter.

 

I can’t wait either! For now I’m settled in to working on something else to pass the other three seasons. Bought a Chinesium quad for my daughter. Heated grips and mirrors going on now. Skids next weekend and she’s ready to go. Will pop the hour meter on the blower today too…

 

Wow, that doesn't look like the typical junk Chinese quad...what is that exactly?
Is there dealer support for parts/service?

 

I’m interested in this also. Looks like a nice quad. Any like this for a big boy?

 

It's a CFMOTO CForce 600 guys. They are actually full size machines so she will grow into it. They are a few levels above the standard store brand Chinese machine. They have been growing like mad the last few years eating Polaris' lunch with value priced machines (which used to be Polaris' role in the industry.) They have a huge dealer network at this point and it's growing annually too. I have a lot of friends who have bought them and while the engine and suspension isn't as advanced as Polaris/CanAm, the fit and finish is actually better. They also give you a loaded machine right from the get go. Excellent LED headlights and tail lights. 3k winch. Fender extensions. Aluminum wheels. Painted plastics. Etc. The equivalent Polaris/CanAm would be 3k more. Yes, you'd get more for the money and if it were for me, I'd go that route. But for a beginner, this one is perfect. It's also clutched very gently and has a throttle set screw to limit power while she gets more comfortable on it. Here is a link to their website.

Here is a link to a great video explaining their place in the market:

 

Got the heated grips and mirrors on the CF today. Hour meter on the blower too...

 

Nice looking machine! Had an old ATV riding buddy who had a similar CF machine and really liked it. They are hard to beat for the price. My 2003 Wolverine is still chugging along just fine for yard work duty. But I’m tempted to look into a CF when that time comes. It’s kinda hard to look at used machines with the way the CFs are priced. Keep us posted on this machine as well!

 

Will do. Going to install a set of Iron Baltic skids on it tomorrow. The only other accessory I'm considering is bumpers. It has smallish bumpers from the factory but a set of full coverage ones might be cheap insurance to protect the expensive LED lighting from an inexperienced rider...

 

I appreciate the updates! I can live vicariously through your experiences! Seriously though, always good to read some first had experience and feedback.

 

Were they all out of 3-stage machines?
