Man, so nice to have the heated seat!! Wish there was a trail open within 1000 miles of Mn. Looks like you’ll be getting some good snow in the next few days.
Hey Greg, Thanks for stopping by.. Yes… two things I never thought I’d love so much on a snowmobile would be power steering and a heated seat. Looks like they’re predicting 3 snowy weather events starting Wednesday night on through Monday. Let’s hope at least a couple of those happen. It’d be nice to ride the sled atleast once before spring. 😩 Take Care buddy 🤙🏼 and THINK SNOW ❄
@@SometimeIsNow yeah. Love the vids. Keep up the good work! I was able to get over to Upper Michigan for the one week they actually had some good snow. So one ride this year. And two new sleds☹️ Hope you get the snow thats missing us! (Again)
Very nice. I guess one thing that should be made clear to viewers is that the trails in Northern Maine are owned in large part by paper companies, who harvest timber to produce paper. They own the land, and thus the logging roads that they let us use for snowmobile trails. Logging operations may seem like a big inconvenience for us, but we need to respect them. Thanks for producing nice videos from the County.
Hey doucetrr, I couldn’t agree more.. Most all the snowmobile trails in upper Maine are forest roads. There’s so many private land owners that allow the snowmobile trails through their property and it should be respected and appreciated for sure.👍🏼 If anything the logging truck drivers find “us” as snowmobilers a nuisance when riding on their log roads. lol Thanks for watching !! 🤙🏼
That was a fun ride for the second time! I really want to go back there this season. Thanks for brightening my day a little more Greg. Rich as always does a great job narrating. I guess if we can't be out riding we can remenice. Bring on the snow!!❄❄❄
Absolutely!! Riding up there is amazing for sure.. We had those pristine trails the week we were all up there.. Couldn’t ask for much more than this. Now we wait for the white gold to stick to the ground. ❄❄
That was such a great ride. Allagash has always been one of the great go to spots riding in the County. A great bunch of guys,great trails. What more could you ask for. Can't wait until we're back up there enjoying it again. Hopefully snow comes soon
Thanks for the teaser. It felt good to ride even virtually. I'm totally ready to go whenever the snow comes but looking like I'll be traveling to Quebec. Also thanks to Rich for the video coverage.
😂 I wish. !! This was from last season, but i figured till we all have rideable snow I’ll drop some last years footage to tease everyone with a ride along. Take Care
Hey Jeff, Thanks for stopping by to watch the video.. It’s amazing up there to ride.. We go back every year now and still are amazed how well the trails are maintained. Take Care and THINK SNOW ❄
Glad you got this footage for Greg. I felt like I was right there with ya. Oh wait, I was! lol. Great narration too. Hope to ride with both of you again this season.
@@Paisteboy We’re hoping to ride more around here this season but if the snow ends early and cuts our riding season short we’ll definitely be heading up to Maine again for sure.. 👍🏼 You’re on the list ❄❄
Hey Mark, Man.. !! You’re lucky having Maine as your hometown. I’d have 10,000 miles a year on my sled living up there in the winter months.. 😁 Thanks for stopping by to check out the video. It’s appreciated. Take Care 🤙🏼
Nice video! I believe you also have an Extreme Max lift for your sled? I have one and the jack just failed on me and I had a heckuva time getting the sled down. They are replacing it under warranty, but I’m not sure if it’s a common problem. I only lifted my sled probably a dozen times before it failed. Do you use an impact driver when lifting the sled or do you use the hand crank that they provide? I appreciate any feedback you can offer. Thanks much.
Hey Jpaul, I do have the Extreme Max lift and like yours, my jack failed just before Christmas and I had to buy a new jack for mine. I always felt like the jack portion was binding when lifting the heavier 4 Stroke sleds so I took it all apart and looked it over and didn’t find anything that stood out. I grease everything really good and reassembled and still just didn’t feel smooth when lifting. It finally failed and bound up and wouldn’t go either way so I sh*tcanned it. Bought a new jack off Amazon and it’s amazing now. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0815W4L4B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I can tell this one is so much smoother acting and it’s been working great. I don’t use an impact when lifting. I use a Dewalt DW130V for lifting and lower the ole T-Cat. That drill is made for heavy work as it’s designed with a low 0-550rpm and for mixing drywall mud. Works prefect for running the jack on the Extreme Lift. Take Care 🤙🏼
@@SometimeIsNow thank you for the Intel, I appreciate it. I emailed extreme Max and they are shipping me a replacement under warranty, they are warranted for two years. It looks like the one on Amazon is still produced by extreme max, I wonder if they have improved the design since yours is working so much better now. I don’t have the aluminum lift, I have the steel one which is a slightly different Jack, I believe the jacks are the same however, the connection point is different but I believe the Jack itself is the same.
@@SometimeIsNowHey Greg, I received my warranty replacement jack today. They shipped me the wrong one. I got the one for the Aluminum lift. I emailed them to let them know. If they don’t want the one I received you are welcome to it if you would like a spare? Let me know.
@@SometimeIsNow Greg, I’m still waiting to hear back. They shipped me a jack for the Aluminum lift where I need the one for the steel lift. They appear to be the same jack except the location on the jack where it attaches to the lift is different. I can mount the Aluminum jack to my lift, it just will not lower the lift to lay flat, it about 5” high. If they don’t want the jack for the Aluminum returned you are welcome to it. If we get snow I may go to Tug next week. John
Hey Kranky, Thanks for stopping by buddy..👍🏼 Yeah, Rich helped me out on this trip recording with his camera as I was having technical difficulties with my GoPro. I sold my GoPro Hero 10 as I had enough of how glitchy it was and I’m going to try the DJI Action 4 this season. Take Care and Think Snow ❄
Hey….Thanks for stopping by again..👍🏼 Geee thanks… Yeah.. We’ll blame you for getting those newer sleds and the no snow.. We’ll be up @ Sugarloaf end of Feb.. The GPS is a Garmin Tread with he Cat accessory mount. I did an install video on it awhile back. ua-cam.com/video/z5V5o4J30MA/v-deo.html Take Care 🤙🏼 THINK SNOW ❄
Hey Boosted, Here at home we’ve had very little snow. There is some rideable snow north of us but nothing I’m willing to ride on. Plus I worked just about all of Jan for the company I use to work for. I’ve been busy lately, just not snowmobiling. 🤷🏼♂ Take Care
@SometimeIsNow ok ,cause just fooling around here I film in 4k but we have zippo for snow so have not had a chance to gopro on the sled yet.i put the gopro on the helmet and walked around the yard but I guess that doesn't count🤪
@@Iluvboostedsleds Recording in 4k is nice but when you go to upload a 15 or 20 min+ video to UA-cam it takes hours for that large of a file. Most people watch UA-cam on their phones or tablets and 4k really can’t be noticed much on the smaller screens. I watch UA-cam on my 65” tv and do notice a difference in recording in 2.7k or 4k But for the majority 2.7k or 1080 is all thats needed really. 👍🏼

Thanks for sharing! Still waiting on snow here too. Think snow!
Hey Jeff, Thanks for stopping by. Sadly.. I think most everyone is still waiting for that elusive snowflake ❄
Take care buddy.
Glad I reread that title. I didn't think we had any snow anywhere in Maine right now (December 30th, 2023).
