does anyone ride in tughill and if so has anyone heard about the grooming problems???

THEY GROOM THE TRAILS TUES NIGHT AND WED. AS LONG AS THERE IS SNOW ELSEWHERE AROUND THE STATE THE TRAILS STAY PRETTY DECENT, BUT IF THERE IS NO SNOW AROUND THE STATE EVERYONE AND THE COUSINS GO THERE AND THE TRAILS ARE SHOT BY THE WEEKEND SO CHECK BEFORE YOU GO!

i heard about a lot of snowmobile accidents invovling groomers

01MXZ800 · 12-11-2003, 07:41 PM

THE ONLY ACCIDENTS I HAVE HEARD OF INVOLVE HIGH RATES OF SPEED THERE IS A LOT OF TRAFFIC UP THERE AND IS NO PLACE TO HAUL ASS TRAILS ARE USED BY CROSS COUNTRY SKIERS ALSO
ONE MISTAKE COULD BE BAD. I GOT SIDESWIPED 2 YEARS AGO AT ABOUT 50 MPH AND THE SOB KEPT GOING LUCKY IT ONLY BENT MY TRAILING ARM AND SCRATCHED SOME PAINT BUT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE.

I DON'T GO THAT FAR NORTH WE USUALLY START FROM REDFEILD

01MXZ800 · 12-11-2003, 08:12 PM

01MXZ800 · 12-11-2003, 08:14 PM

BTW HAVE YOU READ MY REPLY TO YOUR CHAINCASE QUESTION?

pro x 700 · 12-11-2003, 08:18 PM

YEAH BUT I REALLY DONT THINK ITS ANYTHING BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET OFF THE GAS OF A POLARIS IT SOUNDS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE ON AND THIS SLED HAS PHANHTOM BRAKES SO I DONT KNOW IF THATS WHAT MAKES IT A LITTLE LOUDER THEN THE 800 XC OR MY CHAIN MIGHT BE A TOUCH TO TIGHT BUT SO FAR EVERYONE THAT HAS RODE IT OR HEARD IT SAYED ITS OK BUT IM GOING TO DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING SINCE WE HAVE NO SNOW LEFT!

01MXZ800 · 12-11-2003, 08:24 PM

pro x 700 · 12-11-2003, 08:26 PM

01MXZ800 · 12-11-2003, 08:32 PM

REAL SWEET, I JUST BOUGHT IT BACK IN SEPT AND HAVE NOT HAD MUCH SNOW YET GOT A COUPLE OF FEILDS CLOSE BY THAT I USE FOR MY TEST GROUNDS, I BACKED OFF AT 105 LAST WEEK I WAS RUNNING OUT OF ROOM NEED TO HIT THE TRAILS TO FINE TUNE EVERYTHING

pro x 700 · 12-11-2003, 08:41 PM

i had a 2002 800 xc and that ripped but i think my 700 has more low end then the 800 havent really got to test out the 700 yet ran her up to 90 95 in one of my buddies fields both are quick though

pro x 700 · 12-11-2003, 08:44 PM

a lot of people say they had there sleds up to 120 or so and most of that is crap because stock wise i know the 800 xc is only geared to do 107 and i was on a lake and my speedo was just under 110.
