Seen this type of question on the can-am site im n, figured i would ask here, and we all could tell what we did with our Vikings daily.

For me today, nothing.. but yesterday, my sister and brotherinlaw came over with my 2 nieces, 3 & 7 year olds. Brotherinlaw and sister wanted to go ride, so i let me brotherinlaw drive, and he had a blast, we went up a real steep hill, and it seemed like we where staring at the clouds, never did a climb like that before, but i told him to put it in Low and in Diff lock, and we crawled right up the hill like a tank, i was amazied, lol. He was too. Then laters we got on a real dusty dirt road, and he starting fish tailing it, just having a ball, haha. Good day!!

Does that back window help any with keeping air out ?

How do you like the soft top and doors ?

I have had the top for about 4 yrs now, would be without it.
I madebthe executive decision last night to cut a hole in the back window, for the duct work....I cringed so hard while doing it, but the end result was excellent.
Pictures to follow later today. All the duct work us in place and tiestrapped into place.

That's the same cab that I have had for 4 yrs, Once its all secured, don't be afraid to trailer it down the highway, I have done many times, but, now that its older, my Velcro stripes are coming off so its not as safe anymore. I actually need to remove the Velcro , get new roll and reinstall, then I should be good for another 4yrs.
With that cab. and my new diesel heater mounted in the back, I'm good for at least -30c.

Are those doors all velcro? Zipper free?

The whole cab perimeter is Velcro, the doors have HD zippers.

Added a 1-1/4” piece of PVC to the scraper on my plow to keep it from digging in because I’m getting tired of all the gravel that ends up in the yard that I have to rake up in the spring as well as the occasional chunks of sod. Got this idea from the Wolverine forum. Hope it works, haven’t had any snow since the week before Christmas and all of that has melted. Been unseasonably warm so far this winter. We have had only 2 snow storms so far and then a big warm up after so nothing even on the ground right now.

@Sport4x4 - I'll be interested to hear how that works. I put a rubber edge on my plow but haven't gotten to use it yet. My brother-in-law bent the hell out of his mounting plate and then "borrowed" mine. I haven't gotten around to ordering one yet.

i have the same issues with rocks getting picked up by the first fresh snow as they stick to the snow,i use my kubota with the bucket early in the year as as it is easier to control than a blade until it gets packed in.

Got myself stuck door deep in mud. And confirmed that the winch I installed last weekend works. Took two trees to get out and turned around, but then had to go back the way I came and a third tree for that. What a mess.

Worked great but after 3 uses it is breaking up. So I will be switching to a rubber horse mat bolted to the scraper blade looped underneath so I will need to find longer bolts.
