Here's my grizzly. Bought her new back in 02' and she's still running to this day. Had a heart transplant last winter though
Wife and daughter on '02 Eiger 400 4x4 "workhorse" from a few years ago. Bought used about 8 years ago and it now has almost 7000 miles on it. Newer weekend toy, '14 Sportsman 850 XP HO
TurboDiesel Thanks! I bought it a couple weeks ago. Might as well push the wood around we don't get snow anymore.
This is the atv I used to have. It caught fire last January. I have since replaced it with a new Ranger 900, and love it! It handles my splitter much better and having the box for stuff has been a huge benefit. I do miss my atv at times, probably more this winter as I had a track kit for it that was on it when it went up in flames.
Ouch! Fire? That sucks. Thinking of the track kit for mine. Which one did you have and how did you like it?
nice rig Grimmy! Sorry to hear about the fire. Any idea what caused it to burn? I've got the same thing. 550 model
I had the Camoplast Tatou 4s from atvtracks.net and loved them! It really changed the machine as if felt like a tank or dozer when moving snow with tracks.
XXL ... I sure agree with Grimmy... I watched all of the track companies literally for 15 years before we bought ours. Some of those first prototypes were junk. As they developed tracks that would work well, some companies faded away. Camoplast now owns Tatou and they're tracks are made well enough that atv manufacturers will honor their warrantees with the tracks installed. Both insurance companies and banks will now consider Tatou 4S as part of the machine itself. That's how we bought and financed ours. It came home in 2009 with the tracks on and I didn't even try the wheels/tires for 3 years. 95% of the time the tracks are on. Love em...
I am not sure exactly what happened. I think the over flow wasn't working right and it dumped gas somewhere around the engine, I think some how got in the coil, and it started on fire, and shortly after burned through a gas line. Rest is history after that. Only thing I salvaged from it were my log chains.......I did pull the seat off the machine, to see if I could see anything and try to put it out, but that didn't help any. So I got the seat, my log chains, and the plow I had on it, left from the fire. Attached is what it looked like the next morning when I got the carcass pulled out of the woods for the insurance guy to come look at. Such a sick feeling!!
Ugh... now that is one ugly picture right there... sorry that happened Grimmy. I guess the only good thing is it didn't start on fire in a garage or shed, and then burn down a house or something.
