WonderMonkey 727 Posted December 25, 2020 I'm a brand new owner, though not a new rider. I actually joined in 2013 in search of a manual for someone I was helping. So ... today I bought a new Rancher 420 ES. I picked it up a few weeks ago. I will use it for hunting (cabin -> treestand and back) and for camping. I'm currently on the lookout for allowed trails to get to water sources to camp, fish, etc. I look forward to learning more about my new purchase, how to properly maintain it, identify and purchase "necessary items" and then over-spend on cool things.

I went with that option over the 500 to hopefully get better fuel usage on long trips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike you will need to contact an admin, just send a private message (PM) to one of the three admins with the info you want to change it to. @jeepwm69, @retro, or @toodeep I believe they will have the ability to get you changed over..... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WonderMonkey 727 Posted December 25, 2020 Thanks for the help on how to contact the admins. As it turned out, one of the admins was who suggested I change it, so I have a direct line to upper management! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So much that the options are almost overwhelming. I don't see any sub-forums here that deal with locations, dispersed camping, etc. Am I missing them?
