You bet! We are meeting some NEW Canadian friends who own a Metal Detecting business in Canada. There will be an extra for us to use and this is something on the bucket list. We will be there for a few days & will have the Jeep with us. I will update the date when we tie it down. Going to find a HUGE gold nugget, LOL!

That's a 2008 Polaris Sportsman 500 Touring.....I still have it and love it. I've put a trunk on it since the pic because my wife doesn't ride with me any more on that. There was only a few quads that year so I'm surprised to see the picture. I also saw it in the magazine after the rally. If I remember correctly I think there were about 64 OHV's on one of the rides I went on. It was a lot of fun and I was sorry to see they couldn't continue having the rallies. I also now have a 2007 Joyner 1100 Sand Viper which I love. That's what I'll ride in the rally this year. I'd love to help you with the rally if you need me. I have a buddy Randy who was there and also knows the area real well, too.

Sister-in-law is flying in to town (NO flying jokes, LOL!) so won't make it until the 9th or 10th but will be there. Shooting for the 9th and will be there for a least a couple of days.

      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      The center console is not working, anyone know how to fix it? 
    • By John Gubancsik
      Does anyone know why the middle of my front tires are wearing too fast?  I just checked the pressures, and they were at 24psi.  The manual says 10psi. Could that be the reason, but why aren't the rear tires showing excessive wear?  I've attached photos.
      Any suggestions would be appreciated.

      Apparently, these are Hisun or at least they use Hisun engines. I can't find much info on them online yet.  Ran across a used one with just 100 miles on it as a very reasonable price.  Just curious.
      Okay, more info...they are owned by Textron Corp who also owns Bell Helicopter, Cessna & Beechcraft aircraft, Ez-Go & Cushman and Arctic Cat and a bunch of other companies.
      So are thy cheap Chinese crap machines or are they good to go?
