@@bsmith8297 I do see these . I still feel the plastics should be a bit more durable ? None the less I truly do love the machine . Especially for the price . The fit and finish is actually significantly above my 2024 Honda rancher , hopefully it lasts many years 🤞

@@rash0401 I own the same quad but a 400 two up here in canada, 2024 model

to be fair, we only have about 55 miles on it (got it yesterday with 1.2. but immediate impressions is %100 adequate for ANYTHING i plan to do. My STYLE of riding is almost exactly like you see in the 2 min video. I'm not one that loves to FLY down a trail wide open or do wheelies, but the low end torq is spot on for woods riding and rocky hills. With the electronic shifting, it seems even more appealing than a CVT. we HAD a polaris sportsman, and still have a CFmoto cf400. BOTH of them i found myself wanting to ride in a "mid" range instead of high and low. With a CVT low range has enough power but not speed, and high range is harder on the belts. with the honda electronic shifting you don't need to stop to switch ranges. if it remains reliable, i don't see myself ever buying another CVT machine.

@@rash0401 I ride more on the sporty side and was thinking the geared tranny may be better for that. How's the power compare to your CForce 400?

@@rzl07375 way way way more low rpm torque. Bring still in the breakin period I have been pretty easy on the machine . For general open trails the cf400 does great . For slow around the farm yard and such the Honda is my style .

​​@@rash0401So I have a CF Moto 600 and the biggest gripe I have with this machine is lack of low end. I've done a clutch kit and ECU tune and I feel it still lacks low Now it will go pretty good in the midrange. I really miss low end punch and want more still. I think a Rancher could be a fun quad for me in the 50 inch orv trails here in Michigan.

@@rzl07375 thats good to know about the 600. I kicked around the idea of a CF600 as well when looking. My cf400 truly has been mechanically amazing since day 1. Actually my CF400 has less engine vibration to the rest of the machine than the Honda, my previous Polaris sportsman, and a new Yamaha kodiak 450 I looked at. So in that respect CF does make a nice machine ESPECIALLY for the price. This honda was nearly DOUBLE what i paid for my CF400 that was a new non-current model. In summary tho. non-sporty riding such as around the farm like in the video. hands down perfect.

Agreed on the plastics. ruclips.net/video/_4R0gdSmC2c/видео.htmlsi=3x0o8l7bmiOozQ7q

I have a friend and local ham just bought one sounded like it still exists however does not sound as significant on his as my 200. Out of all the mobile radios I have only ever heard this on the 200

@@rash0401 thanks for the info. Thinking of getting one for the car. Probably won't be an issue but it's a shame that Yaesu hasn't addressed the problem.

@@Chris-hy6jy have to admit even with that flaw It still may have some of my FAVORITE features on it for a radio. Awesome radio especially when it's on sale.

This controller is a basic crossband style where it has zero hang time and no ID . It does however have adjustable audio gain both directions

depending on location of install. The control receiver N connector on the back of the repeater In a roof top repeater cabinet I ran a mag mount antenna and put it on top of the repeater cabinet. At a repeater tower where the repeater is on the bottom, I've used abandoned lines from the tower even if the antennas are failing or out of band. Does not take much to receive a signal for DTMF controls.

So unfortunate as it otherwise is still one of my favorite radios still to this day

In summary . Went in for warranty . Main board was stared to be replaced . Returned exactly the same and never heard back after I reached out following the return post work . However I still oddly love the radio and use it daily

so far last spring we started with 10 chicks. they grew up. we gained as my wife calls it "Waffles the hospice chicken" so we were at 11 and two months ago for unknown reason one of the original 10 died so we're at 10. yesterday we had 8 eggs! i was impressed for the weather. but they eat good! almost as good as the other rodents around this farm LOL

Thank you! it is suppose to get as cold as -30 F / -34C wind chills this weekend so will be a good test for these birds. Stay warm up there!

I personally grounded the tower however I did no special ground from antenna to mount (steel tower )

I'm installing a GP3 in my house roof and wonderring if I should ground the mounting bracket.

@@ARC928 I would ground the tripod or mast you are attaching it to also for lightning issues that may arise some day

Will do. Thank you.

Central Minnesota . However I’m told I sound Canadian 😂

that's what I thought. But I can see it,@@rash0401

Love the white seems to hide dirt better than expected and even more so scratches from woods brush

@@rash0401 I agree

I believe if you have a basic metric socket set (perhaps also torex/allen wrench set) you should be set. in regards to sockets I know MOST of the hardware was 10mm however the bolts for the FRONT lower arms is a 13mm. Depending what size torex/ allen sized you need to REMOVE the EXISTING skids would be the only variation from that. Took several hours BUT it's an enjoyable finished product for sure!

are you happy with result? Have you noticed it helping!?

@@matt101batty so far I am very satisfied. My type of trail riding that will be used. The most with this ATV is likely rock and log focused . Very similar to what caused my foot well to crack the first time by simply getting hung up on a log. I almost do zero mud riding, so I’m not super concerned about holding debris up on top. I have put on approximately 30 miles of fairly aggressive writing since I installed the skip plates, and I have noticed no vibration or hardware coming loose yet. I’ve also tested them on a couple of rock piles, and they seem to be holding up extremely well, and doing what I wanted them to do.there’s definitely a cost involved, but hopefully it’s preventative for future issues

If you don’t mind me asking, what did you sell and/or how much time did it take you to save up for one? I’m currently 16 and without a job wanting a cforce 500 but I’m stuck on what to do to get one

Thank you 🙏 such a strange winter down here where we use the skid plate in January for dirt and rocks instead of snow and ice 🧊

Thankfully yes, The oil drain plug has a large plate that comes off with 2 bolts (also 10mm) I thought about leaving it open but it looks fairly easy to remove. The front and rear differentials areas also have laser cutouts so you can access the drain plugs from those without needing to remove any hardware. time will tell how much mud and debris it collects tho. Mixed reviews online in that regards

Very happy with it. I have since upgraded tractors to a 35hp Massey and last year put it through the test several times ruclips.net/video/XovKQ9LdJ58/видео.html

It just appeared to not be turning because the shutter speed with the fan rotation were matched on the camera. it truly was spinning just video didn't show it.

Should have got a new wiper out of the deal.....
