I’ll try your idea on a new center mount when I’m next at my parent’s place. I might have to invest in that Timber Jig the Sawsquatch is slow and needs some amps to run it, very nice finish though. Thanks for your time!

@@againstthegrainliving1998 was meaning to flip the bolts on the mill to stop them dragging on the ground or sawhorses. Helped on mine alot. For a center mount maybe a slide pivot 2 piece thing. Top piece like your end mounts and the bottom like a saddle. Curved on the bottm rests on the tree with a slot for the adjustable pivot. Just ideas - you come up with a lot of great ones your own self. Cheers bud

There is not one perfect in every situation groomer or snow drag. A rebar mat will work plenty good enough for low traffic trails. A custom rebar mat with heavy like 1/2" rebar and 1 foot squares works wonders. Like 10-12 bars for a 10-12 feet long about 4 foot wide mat. I use one pre-season. And when the trail is set I have a grader type towed groomer.

Good to see you got some snow finally. Brush out that trail to your remote cabin so you can use that nice trail grader you made and keep from getting that heavy Skandik stuck like last year. Then again you might make it easier for the riff raff to get back there. Looks like your on the 5 year building plan like me with The remote cabin build. Too bad your not getting much help.

@againstthegrainliving19987 ай бұрын
It is a Skidoo HD rear bumper for 20” machines rated for 1500lbs compared to the stock 1200lbs one. The wrap around bar the saw is attached to came on this model from factory but is also a Skidoo accessory. The Milwaukee stuff is on a universal wall mount from Milwaukee bolted up to two of Skidoos Multi Linq base plates a homemade combination. I think there are companies making aluminum plates that bolt to the skidoo tunnels now. Muskoka Freerider on KZfaq runs one on the mountain sleds that is much more low profile.

I don’t have have any experience with an atv with tracks in extreme terrain or working it. I do know the snowmobile is way faster especially on the way back empty. The snowmobile will go through a fresh dumping of snow better as well. However I have found all of this setups draw backs. I have been looking into possibly going the atv with track setup for a better year round vehicle.

Nice hitch mod... when the karyon is loaded it looks hard to line up the hitch with the skidoo mount, as is the case for any combination, I tried an adjustable hitch arm, a tube within a tube.. the process still needs a left and right line up but then slide the inner tube up to the skidoo, connect, then back up the skidoo, which slides the inner tube into the outer tube to a stop, then a pin is used to lock the two tube together for towing ... just an idea Rick

Great video. I'm also getting anxious for the build. Beautiful spot you picked out. I work with suntuff roof sheathing quite a bit. Best way to make a ridge cap is to split a sheet in 2 or 3 strips and fold it over at the ridge. Unfortunately it can buckle a bit during temperature changes but it normally finds its place again. If you can use screws with a large neoprene washer and predrill the holes slightly bigger than the screw, it will help with the buckling issues.. Keep those videos coming!! Nice to see the dogs out!
