Good idea. But where's the fun in that? I'll probably do it if I have a ton of snow at the end of the drive.

Oregon here as well.

Im running 31" Motohavoks. The stock tires do just fine and can certainly hold their own in mud, I just needed some extra height. The power steering unit had an issue for some reason it was still fine and when I fired it up at home to load on the trailer I had zero power assist. Was all fixed under warranty so no biggie.

@ ….very nice! Did you have to do any clearancing or clutching for the 31” tires?

Thank You! It was a killer day for sure

Hey Nelson! Thank you! Did you finally get that Can Am fixed?

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, I'll consider it for the next video!

Just over a year. No issues besides the DPS not working but that was sorted out under warranty. Haven’t seen any indication that the frame is cracked. Would I buy it again? Absolutely.

Yes mine came with the female pigtail too. It's a hit and miss when you buy from Princess Auto, especially online ordering. You have to make sure that the box hasn't been opened in any way. So many times I have bought something just to find something removed from the packaging.

@ I bought one local and when I got home (about 4 hours away) noticed it didn’t have the female pig tail. Went back to the store and they argued that it didn’t come with it, that I had to buy the harness separately. None of the harnesses they sell have the 4 pin DT connector. Going to try and order one from the online store, or just make one myself. I ended up buying a deutsch connector kit. Thanks for the info, and love the setup of your bike!

Glad to help!

Hello what side wing did you purchase? I’m looking for one. Thank you

I have seen some dealers do it, that's why I asked the question, why are some integrated and some aren't. This is a new concept though with Can Am, so I wonder if some of the techs that do the add ons aren't aware.

Yeah Baxter rocks! I have absolutely no regrets getting the XMR700. In my opinion it's the BEST bang for your buck you can get at the moment. After you've risen one, worked on one and somewhat modified it you'll quickly realize that Polaris, Yamaha and honda have a long way to go to catch up, and trust me im not a fan fanboy at all.

Ok. Good to know. Thanks lol.

Lol! Did you run into the chipmunk too? He loves any kind of scraps you throw at it.

No chipmunk, but that squirrel got our paper towels too.

That was my thinking at first and wouldn't be a problem if I was mounting it on a full size atv, however on my small frame 250cc I didn't have much space to work with and had to mount it behind the front wheels in order for the wheels to have enough clearance. I changed out the bars to 38" ones just yesterday and seems to fix the problem. We are expecting a dumping of snow later this week, I can't wait to test it.

Agreed. A pulley will decrease the drain from the winch by half and be double the strength to lift the plow but will also decrease the speed at which it lifts and drops by half. Seeing that my winch does a decent job at lifting my rather light weight plow I don't see the need and would rather save the expensive synthetic rope.

I didnt care for my pulley system. One time the rope had a little too much slack and came off the pulley and snapped. Straps are the way to go with fairlead

It's holding up perfect. Just swapped out the winch rope for the strap yesterday in preparation for this season. Strap had absolutely no wear on it. Last season I used the roller, this season I'll use the hawse fairlead, should make no difference.

Very well considering what I put it through this past season. Only issue was the DPS unit that stopped working but had that replaced under warranty. Further more I wouldn't trade it for any other machine out there at the moment.

The stock tires do great, only reason I changed them out is the size, was looking at going at least 30". Settled with these 31's and it makes a difference. You don't get hung up that easily.

The trail head is at 35 Violet Drive in Port Severn, just off the 400. Im not sure about accommodation, but because its cottage country im sure there are a ton of AirBnB's and motels around.

CAN-AM 3500 HD was the winch I bout, and it integrated no problem.

@@CastScratchFever Got it from the dealer, as far as I know it only mounts onto this specific bumper

@BackyardATV okok thanks 🤘🤘🤘

It's a 4x8ft converted boat trailer. Bought it from a guy that refurbed it for dirt cheap. I slapped some e tracks on and an upgraded winch. I'll get a video done on it in the near future for you.

Great vid. I'm very likely pulling the trigger on a XMR700 this week. The trails I ride in Northern NY near Canada are very very similar. How does the bike trail ride? Comfortl in rocky situations, mountain climbing etc. I really think the XMR is a nice all around machine. However as I get older comfort is a big plus

Nice! Thanks for the share!

Im not too sure, I had my winch installed through the dealer and one of the reasons I did so was for that integrated switch. Maybe get in touch with your dealer and ask them if they can order it in.

Yeah I was torn between the XT and the XMR. Decided on the XMR because of the raised snorkel and rad, never know what your going to find yourself in and that peace of mind goes a long way. Also the XMR has the locking front diff and not the viscolok, which kind of sealed the deal. Regarding the plate, the dealer installed mine, I have the full bumper at the back and it did seem challenging to get it mounted but it's there.

Happy it helped! Just make sure that you get that spool and duct tape warmed up too when you apply it.

So far so good, just finished with the break in period and no complaints at all for now.

No Luckily not, from what I have seen from others is that it may be the back sway bar that causes it.

@@BackyardATV Exactly. I was going to buy an XMR 700 but I saw that that squeaking noise happened to many and I decided to wait a little longer. I will be watching your videos if your XMR700 doesn't make any squeaks I will go buy mine

My 700xt has a squeak but only to 10km/h so u don't hear it that often

@@chrosobrien359 Can you make a video of the noise and upload it to RUclips?

​@albertolobo6608 who cares if it squeaks? I have this exact atv and the bushings all around the atv are almost indestructible. And the sway bar don t squeaks, it is more a knocking sound, you can barely heard it. Exept that, the atv don squeak at all.

I know right! Im tempted to put a plow on but the budget doesn't allow for it considering what size driveway I have. Maybe next season.....

You can use 7/16" if you want, 1/2" fits just fine on mine, I didn't have to do any modification. Try and get a Stainless steel eyebolt if possible, the carbon steel rusts up relatively quick. Im not sure where you're from, but you can also get a m12 stainless eyebolt on Amazon if that works better for you.

I’m here in Newfoundland Canada a small town called St Lawrence. I am glad to hear from u and yes i now have a couple ordered of Amazon M12 eye bolts Bit longer than I needed but the price was very good I’ll just have to trim them after I get them in place once again thanks for getting back to me u have a good day !!!!

Right on. I had to trim mine too. I think you guys had a bit more snow in the east than we did here in Ontario this season.

Yeah we have a huge snow storm coming in the next 3 day up to 80 cm but where I’m to we are getting 15 to 30 cm take care

please send some this way! Stay Safe

Oh yeah, I’ll definitely do a follow up. Don’t think it will be this season though. I don’t see much snow in the forecast.

Yes it pivots easily, just dont tighten the nut at the bottom too much and you're good.
