Farming and ATV use - What you need to know!


Farm safety is imperative and always has been! If you use ATV's on your farm, read on for some great insights.
The all-terrain vehicle (ATV), also known as three and four-wheelers, was initially developed in Japan as a farm-to-town vehicle in isolated, mountainous areas. During spring thaws and rainy seasons steep mountainous roads were often impassable with conventional vehicles. It soon became a recreational vehicle however, providing transportation to areas inaccessible by other motorized transport. And, it wasn't long before the Japanese manufacturers realized that the ATV could be sold to Americans.
When the ATV first appeared in the United States in the 1970's, it was promoted and sold as a recreational vehicle designed to provide "thrills" for the rider. This is still its primary use today. Shortly, however, sportsmen found that the ATV was a useful machine to move through areas not accessible with pick-up trucks, four-wheel drives, or other motorized vehicles. The ATV became popular as a hunting vehicle and was used to reach remote areas and to transport game back out.

The True Versatility of ATV's for Ranch Work



Horses getting replaced by ATV's? Whoa! Farm & ranch, check out how utilitarian atv's are!
Selection of ATV size should be governed by how it will be used.
"We are replacing horses with all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) on many ranches," says Nick Hamilton, general manager of Hoffpauir Polaris in Goldthwaite. "ATVs cost less to operate than maintaining a horse. If an ATV is not worked, you do not feed it.

Why an ATV Over a Horse?

Another great article on how ATV's are competing with horses for hunting & work!
Why an ATV Over a Horse?
_______________________________
 
Hunting season is upon us here in Colorado and estimates for ourundefined local forest range upwards of 38,000 hunters in our area. Wow, that's a lot of folks with guns! Obviously many of these folks are purist hunters who disdain anyone who may not have the desire or be physically able to walk the miles needed to stalk the wily elk and deer. Other hunters will drag huge horse trailers with built in living quarters for hundreds of miles just so they have something to feed, untangle, and listen to all night long. Still others will load ATVs on the back of their pickups or flat-bed trailers and mount the steel steeds rather than the hay-burners. All have the same objective but different approaches.

New ATV Rules In Effect For Colorado Hunters


Colorado hunters read on! There are a few new rules that directly affect you if you live in Colorado!
With huge mountains, clear streams and lots of public land, Colorado has some of the most scenic backcountry on earth. Complimenting the beautiful scenery is the abundant and varied wildlife. This is partly due to Colorado's Division of Wildlife and the efforts of outdoor enthusiasts who want to keep their resources plentiful. With the cooperation of ranchers, farmers, and private landowners, Colorado improves wildlife habitat with an ongoing system of management objectives and goals.
Resident hunters should be aware of important changes that have been initiated for all-terrain vehicles in the 2000 and 2001 hunting seasons. This is the first year for a season structure for big game. 
*NOTE: Hunt codes have changed. Do not use last year's hunt codes

Campfire Safety Tips




How to Pick Your Spot

Follow these steps when picking your burning site to promote wildfire safety:
  • DO NOT build a fire at a site in hazardous, dry conditions. DO NOT build a fire if the campground, area, or event rules prohibit campfires.
  • FIND OUT if the campground has an existing fire ring or fire pit.
  • If there is not an existing fire pit, and pits are allowed, look for a site that is at least fifteen feet away from tent walls, shrubs, trees or other flammable objects. Also beware of low-hanging branches overhead.
Note: in some areas digging pits are not allowed because of archaeological or other concerns. Find out the rules in your area please.

Looking for Your First - or Next - ATV?





Getting involved in a hobby or recreational sport like ATV riding involves a considerable amount of cash, so, it’s fair to say that we have to be very…no, VERY careful about the kind of ATV that we invest in. the biggest question we will have to start with is how serious are we about ATV riding? How serious are we expecting ourselves to be once we have it? And of course, the next question is how much we are willing to spend on getting the ATV and what type of ATV are we looking for. A ballpark figure for an ATV should be anything between $2,000 up to about $8,500 for a really feature-packed one. For beginners, it’s alright to start with a basic ATV model and upgrade it as you progress. You can replace it when you feel that there is a need for a better model.

Mudgate: A Real, Dirty Scandal

Mudding is dirty work, but someone has to do it!

It’s hard to keep my eyes opened as I pound the keyboard on this week’s blog — my muscles are sore, hands calloused and energy levels are running low, but I’m not complaining! Yesterday, after months of rumors, speculation, planning and shop time, we finally introduced our nitrous-injectedCan-Am Outlander 650 mudder to its first mud pit.

Look for our comparison of the Arctic Cat Mud Pro 1000 and Can-Am Outlander 800R X mr in an upcoming issue of ATV Magazine.
We also used this rare opportunity (for us, at least) to kill two birds with one stone by also doing a head-to-head comparison between the Arctic Cat Mud Pro 1000 and Can-Am’s fancy new Outlander 800R X mr.

Safety at the Imperial Sand Dunes


Safety is incredibly important - even when you have a rollcage! If you're going to be at the dunes, or riding anywhere, please keep any eye out for others and yourself.
Halloween weekend will be the first trip of the season for many visitors, and the dunes will be much different than they were in the spring. As a result of shifting prevailing winds seen over the summer, razorbacks and witches eyes are more common. The hot summer weather leaves less moisture in the sand resulting in extremely soft slip-faces and leeward dune-tops. 
As always, visitors are cautioned to watch out for trick-or-treaters moving from camp to camp after dark. The ASA reminds all dune users about the importance of safety at the ISDRA. A free safety DVD called "Take Time Out For Safety" is available from the ASA’s web-site (www.americansandassociation.com) with more information.

The ATV raced in Washington State this year, too, but it was in Olympia. For 2011, the series will return to the very popular and stunning Washougal MX facility. Buffalo Bills (Primm, Nev.), Lake Havasu City (Arizona) and Glen Helen MX (Devore, Calif.) also return. A new site next year will be Clay Peaks in Payette, Idaho. However, only the first five rounds are set in “stone” as the final four rounds are tentative and subject to change.
