Looks good. Don't know if I have any place to cut this year. The land I was cutting on the farmer passed away early Spring. I'll have to go see who owns the land. I have an idea who will be buying it. Was planning to use the ATV to go up and cut it then my older son could haul it back with the ATV and trailer. The ATV has a low gear for towing and is suppose to be able to tow 900 pounds.
Back on the ATV I just realize the front shocks can be adjusted I should be able to do that later this week.

So if I was to get a flat when I am out on the ATV what do you do? I was thinking of carrying 1 of those compressed air glue tire repair can.

Only happened once....I walked back to the house, got a bottle of Slime and the CanTire 12v emergency Air compressor. Worked.

If one wanted to be prepared a plug kit and CO2 canister type inflation tool may be a good idea to carry in the storage bin.
For the ill prepared...... grass. And lots of it. Stuff it inside the tire to give some limp home lift.
Not something I would have to worry about because my swamp fox rubs will hold up without air.

The last two sets of tires I've used could be run with no air, which gives a little peace of mind when you're out there.
Channel locks are great for adjusting the springs. The little wrench that Cat supplied was useless.

So I have adjusted the front Shock and now both are the same, but I was wondering what setting should I actually have them on? Right now they are pretty much factory should I change that to a more firm setting or is the soft better?

Depends on the terrain...if your on the flat most of the time 'factory' is good....if your mostly in low going, over lots of rutts and pot holes along a muddy trail, you may want to firm them up. Ride will be stiffer, but it'll protect the ATV's front end.

Has too much time on their hands
I bought a 12V (outdoor) plug that I am going to wire up this week. Leak Seal and a mini air compresser. The 12V "plug" will produce up to 400w, unsure of the output of generator on quad though...

Since I usually ride alone, I carry a repair kit. It includes several plugs and the tools to insert them. It also contains CO2 canisters and the regulator. I also carry a small 12V compressor. I've had to plug one hole, but I ended up doing this at home when I discovered the puncture after the ride. I don't believe these kits would be very useful to repair a sidewall cut though - in that case, it would be a long walk back to the truck if you aren't riding with a buddy.
