Coonhunter's Ranger with traxx

<< < (2/3) > >>

i work at Yamaha Jacks in elensburg,wa and install tracks on rhino's and rangers all the time.  Just for the purpose of reaching those remote cabins.  All the customers we've helped have enjoyed them, and have had positive feed back.  i would recommend them to anyone who has a  ranger or rhino just for the fact if you have it you might aswell use it.  chains work ok till the snow is deep, tracks go and elevate your ride.  two words (there awsome).

bobcat:
Do people use those things on National Forest lands here in Washington? I can't think of anywhere they'd be legal, except for on some state lands. I suppose if you had private land they would be great.

coonhunter:
Yes its legal for any pravite road where hunting area and forest service at swakane or tenannaway or liberty bell or blwettee pass or stampdee pass. State patrol and City Police and Game warden have stopped me before and they never give me any ticket. As long as it has Mirror on both side and brake light and helmet and seatbelt then stay on dirty road. Its not for OFFROAD for fun but can go Moses lake sanddune for offroad. Its all good. Not to drive on asphlt city road or public roads. Can go to ORV area. Where all snowmachine are.
People MIGHT nagging  at u to NOT drive but tell them to CALL POLICE your self. I never had problem with people telling me not to. They were all nice to me and think its cool. No biggie.

Hey Coonhunter,
Thanks for the replies. I was thinking about the Rhino or the Ranger and I am leaning towards the Rhino because it is not as wide. Some of the trails I would ride are quad trails and not as wide as the Ranger. I like the pulling power of the Ranger though. What is your take on riding them on forest service roads? I couldn't tell by your reply. When you said you were riding in the Swakane I was assuming it was when there was snow on the ground and people were Snowmobiling. Isn't all atv or utv's illegal on forest service roads? I am not worried about that because I would be on private roads anyways but was curious. Anyone have any thoughts on the Rhino verses the Ranger? I have Polaris 4-wheelers and snowmobiles now and really like Polaris but the width is my hang up. Speed is not an issue because I ride like a grandpa anyways and I am getting these to ride my young kids and wife around.
Thanks,
Shannon

You can only ride on designated 4 wheel drive only road in National Forest service . BLM and State ground Green Dot only roads with ATVs of any kind . And state law went into effect 2007 Helmits at all times .
