Tips For Moving Snow

There's snow falling from the mountains in California, over the plains states and moving towards the East Coast. The weather channel is calling it a BLIZZARD. Those who live in the snow belt know what this means... it's time to shovel the drive. But there is an easier way.

That's with an ATV. We can hear some people saying, "What about a lawn tractor?" We usually come back with something like, "How much suspension travel does your Cub Cadet have?" Or "What's its top speed?" That usually quiets the critics. Even small skid loader fans can't argue with an ATV's versatility or affordability.

We compiled a few tips and tricks for ATV owners who plan to use their quad for plowing snow. From choosing the right size and style of snow plow blade to lifting choices to other parts and accessories, we'll help you move more snow.

Machine

It's pretty obvious in the snow, where traction is a necessity, four-wheel drive is an important feature for plowing. However, even some 4×4s struggle with stock tires (more on that later). And we've heard from some owners that in light, fluffy snow conditions their 2WD ute has performed flawlessly. However, in most cases a 4×4 quad is the best choice. Some of these models now have a locking front differential that can improve traction, too. And some manufacturers have released models with power steering, which they claim will drastically lighten the steering effort of a 4×4 quad when plowing snow. That's especially important when you factor in the extra weight that's added by bolting on a snow plow kit.

Plow Choices

For the snow belt, moving snow with an ATV is a big deal. First of all, it replaces shoveling. Secondly, it proves to your spouse the ATV was a sensible and useful purchase.

ATV snow plow blades come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. From 42-inch blades to 60-inch DOT-style designs to V-shape configurations, it can be confusing selecting the correct plow for your ATV or UTV. Yeah, that's right, some plow manufacturers are even producing snow blades for side-by-side utility machines.

Our rule of thumb is, for any 4×4 less than 500cc displacement, select a plow that's smaller than 50 inches. For quads with engines larger than 500cc, you can go with a 60-inch blade or larger. The largest big-bore utility quads should be able to handle 72-inch blades as well. Keep in mind, most quads are roughly 48 inches wide and to plow a path equal to the width of the ATV, you'll need at least a 50-inch blade. The smallest blades, those 42 to 48 inches wide, when angled, will make paths smaller than 48 inches wide.

Most blades are steel and powder coated in a variety of colors. Depending on the size and design, obviously, some are heavier than others. One of the lightest snow plows is the heavy-duty aluminum SnowSport by Agri-Cover, which has been anodized and hardened. It's different than most blades because its lighter and does not need to be lifted off the ground.

Blades can be used to cut straight paths or angled to push the snow to the side of the ATV, much like a DOT dump truck does on the highway. Some of the heavier plows will require you to tune your quad's front suspension (read: up the preload). The additional weight of a winch, plow, plow tubes and more will make the front end squat when the blade is attached and especially when lifted in the air. If the stock shocks don't offer enough preload adjustment, though most should, you can explore purchasing aftermarket shocks. A few preload devices exist for machines with struts up front, too. These bolt-on suspensions will help during plowing and while enjoying trails. It's a win-win.

Lifting Choices

When it comes to lifting the plow, you basically have three choices: Hand, winch, electronic actuator or similar device. The manual lift is the most affordable design, but it's also the most cumbersome to operate and difficult to lift. The winch-assisted lifting is ideal for many ATV owners, because they already have a winch installed for other reasons.

Finally, the most expensive method is the electronic actuator. It actually has an auxiliary motor and does all the plow lifting and lowering via a toggle switch. Snow plow enthusiasts love it because it saves their winch cable and simplifies the operating process.

Parts & Accessories

For plowing snow, some people want every accessory they can get. This includes parts such as blade markers or those yellow or orange sticks marking the edge of the plow blade. This helps to avoid hidden landscape blocks, because the operator can always see the edge of the blade. Foot skids are sort of like anti-scalping devices for snow plows. They prevent the plow from digging too deep and keep it floating across the surface. Wear bars add strength to the plow blades and are designed to cut a better path. They come in both steel and plastic.

End shields reduce the amount of snow from escaping from the plow blade and produce more efficient plowing. Those rubber flaps on the top of some snow plows are good because they prevent flying snow from hitting the operator or allowing snow and ice to pass over the plow and coat the radiator.

As we said before, traction is important for plowing snow. Some underpowered ATVs or 2WD quads will require the addition of tire chains. These will give the rear wheels more traction and prevent them from slipping on the slick snow and ice. For super slippery spots or driveways with hills, you can even add tire studs. We found it best to add the small, sharpened sheet metal screws to an old set of stock tires for winter use. Be aware, both of these methods could do damage to your driveway, depending on the conditions and the type of surface it is.

A few ATV owners we know with large driveways use a pull-behind broadcast spreader filled with salt or ice melt to keep ice from forming once they've plowed. This is especially important if the surrounding snow piles melt back on to your sidewalk or driveway.

Procedure

One way to determine you are plowing your driveway correctly is to watch someone who has experience doing it. Of course, you could learn by the seat of your pants, but watching someone else do it could pay off. Watching snow plowing could mean watching that diesel truck push snow across the bank parking lot, or it could mean watching your neighbor use his ATV. The goal is to learn what not to do.

Don't plow fast! This can be dangerous because the blade could catch on an edge or rock or curb and force the ATV to a jarring halt. Typically, you'll want to drive at a pace that both pushes snow effectively, yet is not so fast it damages the blade or any of its parts. Practice makes perfect. Plus, your quad's speed will be determined by the amount of traction it's getting and the type of snow you are trying to move.

Don't tear up your lawn. A smart move is to push the snow further than to the edge of your driveway, if possible. That way, when the temperature warms up, the snow won't melt on your driveway and form patchy ice. The theory is, if you push it far enough away from your driveway, it will melt into the ground and not on the driveway.

Don't push all the snow in your driveway to the end of the drive, especially if it's a wet, sticky snow. All this will do is create one large, firmly packed wall of white stuff. Your ATV is not powerful enough to move it and that means you'll have to bust out a shovel.

We've tried several methods over the years and a down and back method seems to work for us. It creates less snow build up or deep spots. We've also pushed one direction to the edge of a driveway and then stopped, reversed the quad and created a new path in the same direction. However, you must lift the blade off the ground before you back up, unless the manufacturer says it's not necessary.

Some professional snow plow operators have learned the skill of lifting the plow blade as they approach the pile. This has a couple advantages. The first is it lifts the snow to new heights and helps you push it farther off your driveway or open lot. The second is it prevents you from smashing into the wall of snow and possibly damaging the blade or its parts.

This is far easier to learn and accomplish with either a winch-operated plow or with an electric lift device. You only have to master the toggle switch. While you are doing this, carefully inspect the winch or lift cable for any ice/snow dams or pinching.

Don't assume your plow will always work perfectly. Regardless of which system you select, you must examine it before, during and after each usage. Look at it before you plow for loose parts or winch cable damage, for example. Inspect it while you plow to prevent ice build up, which can make pushing snow more difficult. Finally, examine after you plow so you know it will be ready to go the next time you need it. Plus, if you find any damage, you may have time to order new parts before the next massive snow storm hits.

Despite being called snow plows, the majority of ATV owners find other uses for the blades. From working on the farm to cleaning stables to pushing dirt, sand and rock around a landscape site, ATV plow blades are extremely versatile.

How To Teach Your Kids How To Ride Their Quads

To say teaching children to ride kids quads is difficult is inaccurate...it's difficult to teach ANYONE to do anything if they don't understand, don't want to learn or incapable of absorbing what is being taught. This is the same principle with teaching children and youth to ride kids quads properly. In fact, with knowledge, a little bit of patience, parents can teach their own kids how to ride their quads properly and safely, inculcating safe driving techniques and behavior.

Getting the right kids quad

The first thing you have to do is to get the right model and type of kid quad for your kids. This is not difficult if you have a helpful salesperson by your side who knows his or her stuff, but if you don't, you can find loads of information on the internet or from magazines. Never let your kids ride on an adult-sized ATV because they are not equipped to handle a vehicle that size. So, the best thing you can do for your kids is to get them a kids' quad.

Educate and keep them informed on how to ride, manage and maintain their own quad

Information is very important when it comes to keeping your kids safe when they are on their kids quads. Before allowing them to ride their own machine, educate them. if you don't know how to, send them to classes where professionally trained coaches can help teach them how to properly handle their own kids quads.

Practice, patience and persistence

Kids get easily bored and frustrated...and it's the same old story in this case. When teaching children to ride their kids quads, they might get a little frustrated and impatient with the many rules that they have to follow. But parents have to be patient with kids. During the first few sessions, as soon as the kids get a little tired, stop the session and let them rest. Put them back on the kids quads only when they are ready to do so...and if they are not, do it the next day.

But we cannot escape this fact...in order to ride better, we have practice hard. Trust me, the concept of practicing hard and being disciplined is often lost on a child...especially if they are young kids below the age of 10. The secret is in helping them see the fun in practicing and showing them very often how far they've progressed. Every time they get on their kids quad, praise them and shower them with compliments.

Influences On Whitetail Deer Activity

Much has been written about deer movement in hunting magazines and I have been intrigued by differences in deer activity over the years myself. We have all been in the woods or maybe just while driving to or from work and noticed large differences in deer activity. You will have some days when you see many deer from your tree stand and other days when, from that same stand at the same time of day, you won't see a single deer. It is also most obvious when you drive to and from work at similar times each day and see large swings in deer activity. After thinking about these changes in deer activity, reading several articles and my hunting observations over the years I've found several situations that effect deer movement.

The Rut

Some would say that the rut causes the demise of more mature bucks than any other factor. There's no doubt that deer are very active during the rut. It is an exciting time to be in the woods. The woods can explode around you at any time during the rut and at about any time of the day. All deer hunters have stories of seeing bucks on the prowl. One year a spike buck let me take three shots at him. The doe that this buck was following ran right by me. When the buck ran by I got him stopped and he just stared at me. After my first shot missed he moved a few feet and let me miss another shot. When the doe saw that I had missed, she ran him back by me again. I think that she was trying to use me to get rid of him. Fortunately I've learned a thing or to about shooting a bow since this episode almost twenty years ago.

Weather

I have noticed that weather conditions and upcoming storms have an effect on deer activity. Warmer than average temperatures during hunting season definitely minimize deer activity. I also have found that wind makes deer very skittish. It seems that wind messes up all of their senses. The wind causes everything in the woods to move confusing their sight as well as both masking and making noise. I would also think that their great sense of smell is also confused as well. I have spent many days out hunting on windy days where I couldn't hear anything or tell what was or wasn't moving it's no wonder that the deer lay low on these days. Deer don't seem to mind a mild rain, but when the rain is falling heavier I've seldom seen a lot of activity.

Changes in the weather definitely cause the deer to move. Most likely it is the change in barometric pressure that triggers deer before large storms arrive. On several occasions I have noticed deer out feeding at odd times of the day in the hours preceding a storm.

The Moon

There have been articles written on the effects of moon phases and moon position on deer activity. I haven't figured this one out yet but I think that there must be something to it. I have seen increased deer activity on days when I can't use the rut or weather to explain it. Research has been conducted in an effort to determine the effects of the moon phases in relation to the start of the rut. What I have read of this information seems promising as far as predicting the start of the rut and the intensity of the rut. A few years ago there was some research into the effects of moon positioning, or in other words when the moon was high in the sky, on deer activity. I haven't seen any further discussions on this theory in the past couple of years. I have to believe that if the oceans tides can be predicted with the moon than we might also expect the animals to be effected as well.

Most of us only have a limited number of days that we can hunt each year and the best that we can do is to take full advantage of this time. If you can plan your hunting time in advance and you want high deer activity you should plan your hunt during the rut or pre-rut when moon prediction gurus say activity will be at the heaviest and pray for the right weather. In the end, the best way to handle changes in deer activity is to be in the woods as much as possible.

A Guide To Paintball Guns

As per the definition given in wikipedia.org, paintball is a game which participants eliminate opponents from play by hitting them with paintballs (spherical gelatin capsules containing primarily polyethylene glycol, other non-toxic and water-soluble substances, and dye) shot from a compressed-gas-powered gun, commonly called a marker. Recent reports suggest that paintball is the fastest growing sport in USA with over 10 million people per year playing paintball. Statistics gathered from insurance companies show that paintball is amongst the safest sports. It can be played indoors or outdoors, while rules vary depending on the scenario.

To play paintball, you'll need a paintball gun, called a paintball marker. The leading manufacturers of paintball guns are Tippmann, Kingman, WGP, Angel, 32 Degrees and Smart Parts. When buying a paintball gun, the main thing to take into consideration is your personal skill level and your position during a game. Certain markers are more suitable for beginners, others are for front players, there are also markers for cover and utility players.

Paintball guns use expanding gas which delivers the necessary pressure to a produce shot. Depending on the air system, markers are either Carbon dioxide (CO2) systems or High-pressure air (HPA) systems. The C02 systems are cheaper and are usually preferred by novice players. The high-pressure air systems produce more accurate shots and higher shot volume. Participants fill the tank of their gun at the playing field.

Front players should look for a paintball gun that is light weight, small size and high rate of firing paintballs. Accuracy is critical for such type of players. Since cover players shoot lots of rounds, they should pick a marker with large air supply bottle remote system. Utility players need a marker that combines mobility with high capacity.

Markers can be upgraded to improve the player's experience. To start with, you can upgrade your barrel. Barrels vary in length and diameter, which basically determines what type of paintballs you will use. A longer barrel is generally more accurate, but it is also heavier and more awkward. A rifled barrel costs more, but also tends to be more accurate. Or you can opt for hopper upgrade. Hopper is the container which stores the paintballs and if you replace the basic one with a loader, you will get a drastically improved shooting rate, because the loader is a battery powered motorized hopper. You can also add a scope to your marker to improve accuracy.

Top 10 Hen Dares

Hens don’t do pranks. Hen’s don’t like being chained to lamp posts, and there’s nothing risqué about waxing a hen’s nether regions. That doesn’t mean Hens don’t do fun, as our Top 10 Dares list will show…

Dares

• Make up false nick names for your hens (pick a theme such as The A-Team, Disney character, vegetables) and use them through out the evening – any mistakes warrant a forfeit!

• Descend upon a stranger and pretend you knew them from your childhood. The longer you can keep the bluff going, the more drinks your Hens owe you

• Pretend to be a living statue for a few minutes – your fellow hens choose your pose

Emerge from the ladies’ loos with some paper stuck to your shoe – keep it there while you order some drinks at the bar

• Let someone chat you up, keep them going, then try to convince them you are a man

• Choose a particular word as "The Call". When ever this word is mentioned, one or all the Hens must break out into a particular song, dance or action. Think "Fame!", Riverdance, walking backwards – the more ridiculous the better!

• If a dancefloor is empty, a lone hen must slow-Waltz to a completely inappropriate song, appearing to be "in the zone" as she does so. Think Kate Bush, Wuthering Heights.

• Remove an item of under wear without removing any outer wear

• Get all hens to write a secret on a piece of paper, and mix them all up. Each secret is read out loud, but it is up to you whether or not you wish to know the secret's writer!

• Kiss or chat up the male version of the Spice Girls (Sporty, Ginger, Posh, Scary and Baby)

Riding ATVs in Utah's Red Cliffs in Moab is a Thrill Seekers Dream

Often referred to as "the Outdoor Adventure Capital of the World," one would be hard-pressed to not find an ATV trail or activity they wouldn't enjoy in Moab, Utah. In fact, you'd have to pretty much despise the outdoors all together.

The thousands of miles of ATV trails in and around Moab present rock crawling enthusiasts with some tough challenges and the most breathtaking scenic back drops in the world. Names such as "Hell's Revenge" and "Metal Masher" suggest what lies ahead, and these are some of the easier ones!

ATV trails are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most difficult. ATV trails with rankings of a 3 will have some tough obstacles, but there are usually by-passes for the timid, and a 4 ranked trail may require a winch or a whole bunch of friends with a rope. So you say you want to see what a 5 ranking has to offer? Well, you're just asking for trouble.

Get your feet wet first. Take a ride up Porcupine Rim and take a peek into John Wayne's back yard. From the top of the rim, you'll look down on monumental valley where many Hollywood classics were filmed.

Moab thrives on outdoor junkie tourism. While you'll definitely want to check out the ATV trails, don't be afraid to partake in other activities that you'll find advertised up and down Moab's main drag. Mountain biking, hiking, whitewater rafting, Jeep and ATV rentals, rock climbing, skydiving and scenic boat rides down the Colorado River can all be found here. Canyoneering trips with High Point Hummer and ATV come highly recommended. You'll tackle some of the toughest trails in a Hummer H1, and rappel down a 120-foot arch into Negro Bill's Canyon. Don't be afraid to try something new!

There's plenty of room for everyone in Moab, whether you plan to camp or stay at one of many area hotels. The restaurants are also top notch. Avoid the usual fast food joints and check out the local tastes. The beer cheese soup and microbrews at the Moab Brewery are a must! The burgers at Eddie McStiff's are excellent and the Drunken Noodles at Singha Authentic Thai Cuisine will jolt your chapped lips.

Moab sits at the top of our must-do off-road vacation list. And there's always something new and spectacular to see or do every time we return.
