I guess that I'm the only one that worries about all of that automatic oiling pooling in the bottom of the machine with the mud and sticks.
i agree as well it sems the oil dont really stick that well to the chains and makes a mess when driving and it just flicks everywhere.... i will just stick with the old spray bottle with gear oil and gas!
I realized this fall that I am going to definitely invest in an auto oiling system of some kind. We spent 3 weeks straight out in the bush and some days we put on over 10 hours, so I had to pull 300-400 lbs of gear out of the machine every day or two to lube the chains. Not counting the bearing greasing, it was a half hour of messing around I really didn't need at 11pm at remote camp in the dark every night, sometimes after setting up a tent, wood stove, and sleeping gear!
We carried rifles vertically all fall, I always kept the barrels covered, usually with the same tarp that covered the back of the unit. I did eventually get some junk in the end of one rifle and had no way to clear it since I didn't bring a solid type of cleaning rod, only a bore snake - lesson learned, but we had 3 other rifles to substitute.
This is what I use on mine.. Keeps the 2 guns dry and mud free... Fits around the back of the seat on my '07 and comes off for easy cleaning... Also has a poncho that pulls over it..
