I dont have a heated garage and after plowing/ icefishing how do i get the snow off? Does anyone have a problem with their brakes freezing up mine are almost none exsistant.

 

Gonna have to get it in somewhere warm , or wait till spring lol

 

It has to be bad for the quad?

 

Probably not the best....Things are gonna start not working like they are supposed to like linkage and possibly throttle sticking...I agree with Kerbbirds for sure...

How about a portable heater?

 

Should be melted off for sure if using it for ice-fishing and or plowing............The ice build-up is no good for the rubber C.V. boots..........Plus you can see anything to keep a eye on things for Maintenance issues...........

With the snowblower Some people I know that leave them out side put a 150 watt floodlight in the auger and inpeller for a hour or two and this heat melts the snow and ice off to prevent freezing and belt burning off when starting up next time ................Caper........

 

This is my 10th year plowing with a 01 scrammy 500 and I've never had a problem with leaving it in a unheated garage. I always pull it in garage when I'm done and let it Idle for atleast 5 minutes before shutting it off,with the door open of course.

 

get a tarp

cover atv

let it warm up

cover it

be sure tarp doesnt burn from tail pipe.

wait a while

ice melted

 

Snow is a fact of life in winter riding & brakes are an urban myth.

 

before plowing i try and spray the boots and stuff that might be damaged
with pb blast or wd-40 snow doesnt stick
