All Honda Garage now - the Ferret - 04-24-2015
Our Majesty 400 Yamaha Scooter left today. Great scooter, but it wasn't getting enough riding time and I had other needs. Especially in the winter. My snow blower is getting old and running it up and down my curvy hilly driveway was wearing me out as well.
This afternoon they delivered my new snow removal tool ..a new Honda Rancher 420 4wd with 48" Cycle Country Blade fitted with a Warn Winch to lift and drop the blade.
No more hours and hours behind the snow blower, hopefully no more coming in dripping sweat with my heart beating thru my chest, breathing like I just ran a marathon. As my wife said," it's cheaper than a heart attack".

It joins the CB DLX, the ST 1300, my wife's Accord and my Ridgeline. Honda? You paying attention? lol
Certainly not wishing for that white stuff to come any time soon, but when it does, this year I will be ready!

That is cool! Do you live on property where you can use that beastie for other things as well?
Me, I'm still livin' like an animal.

Well Im on about 5 acres, mostly wooded, but a lot of it is steep hillside. It will get some use carting the 4 grandkids around the yard in summer though I'm sure, which will take so e pressure off the riding mower lol

That's exactly the sort of thing I have been looking for over here! I am not sure they have the blade option here, but perhaps I can get it shipped from the US. It usually takes me a good two hours to clear the snow from my road in the winter each time i has snowed over night with my Yamaha snow blower, and with something like that I would get the job done in no time! Also, I have always wanted a quad to go up some more remote trails here in the summer...

That's a nice piece of equipment. Does the plow angle for you Mickey???
RE: All Honda Garage now - the Ferret - 04-24-2015
CIP yes, straight right on a couple different angles and left on a couple different angles but you have to set those manually.

Good, you need an angle for driveways not so much for walkways. It keeps the snow away from your feet (tires) and makes life a lot easier.

Gonna be firing up my Honda mower today or tomorrow. Bought it 21 years ago. I think it's been tuned up once. I know that the spark plug hasn't been replaced in 10 years. I probably should sharpen the blade, but that's about all that it will need. The thing just runs and runs. Love my Hondas! Wish I had room and need for a Honda 4-wheeler.
