New toy day.

[Crazy Carl]

Picked up a '09 Yamaha Rhino 700SE yesterday. Old dude down at Lake Ozark sold his property & got rid of all his toys & equipment. Just over 1000 miles & 130 hours. Silly fun & gonna make getting back in the woods for brush clearing & range prep much easier. Perfect for bopping over to the neighbor's for Margarita Mondays, too. Also came with the never used OE alu rims & tires.

Nice!
Just in time, Coop just made them plate-able.
I have the 700 Honda. Handy machine.

 

[Snal~]

Nice!

 

[Geezer]

That thing will be very handy, Carl.

Just in time, Coop just made them plate-able.

He is immune from Cooperitis. (Jealous, me!)

Looks like a fine "hold my beer" mobile!

EDIT: Roll cage adds bonus "Watch this!" points.

We were looking/thinking something more utilitarian, like maybe a Gator, but dude priced this to sell & quickly. Think we were toting it home less than 2 hours after he listed it on FB marketplace.

Oh yeah, it also has power steering, which comes in real handy when yer in 4wd with the front diff locked. Apparently, the SE came with fully adjustable coilovers with remote reservoirs, along with flashy paint & alu wheels. Between the condition & mileage & the PO's mods, we practically stole this thing. Dude had money & had just sold 70 acres acres of primo $$$$ Ozark real estate & just wanted stuff gone. We were more than happy to help him 🙃

Pretty fun ride so far. Rides & handles nice & quick enough to get in trouble. Rips a great donut in the driveway, which the Missus didn't find nearly as entertaining as I did 🤣 Thinking about a winch & snow plow for it, 'cos there's no way I'm shovelling a 200+ yard driveway by hand.

Our governor is a cattle farmer from just 30 minutes south of here. Folks here that know him say he's a solid dude & this is hard core MAGA country, FWIW. I got zero complaints so far.

Nice machine and awesome color Carl. I'm predicting that you will be spending much more time on your acreage in this as time goes on.

There are so many things this will be much more convenient for than ANYTHING else you have for moving you or other things around. And these things are tough as nails.

Prove me wrong on this bro.

 

[kcult]

That is slick!

 

[yard mongrel]

FIL has that exact one. He and my wife haul ass around his 300 acres drinking beer, shooting cans, and tearing up creeks while I'm at work.

Hope you can enjoy it as much as them.

Oh yeah. Got a ton of tall, skinny oaks & hickories to drop & dispose of, both up close to the house & to clear a shooting lane. Even once the work part of all that is done, the range will still be further away than I wanna schlep everything back & forth by foot. 'N I gotta tell you, draggin' 2 big trash cans up to the end of the driveway every Monday night kicks my ass. I'm sure we're gonna use the hell out of it, especially 'cos the Missus likes riding around in it & especially running over to the neighbor's place for cocktails in it.

Hell, yeah! That sounds like my idea of a good time.
