    Hey man,Sounds like you are learning the hard way.It is a good thing to have someone with you every time you ride,preferably another machine.I ride every weekend but never alone,You never know when something bad might happen.Good luck and happy trails.

      had a bad ride myself!

      i took my new toy out for a cruise, got about 1/2 mile from home and one of the chains broke off the t20 trans...long story short , i could go about 20' then would have to manually lift the ft end over (no steering and apparently a pull to the left) then go another 20' and repeat the process for 1/2 mile!
      don't ya know when i got it home i found that the master link came off and was lying right there in the lower chain valley!

          On my first ride in my T-boss, I managed (I still don't know how!) to break both main drive chains while wedged between two 10in diameter trees, on a 30 degree hill (Nose down) at 2:30 in the morning. ALONE; about 1/2 mile from my house. No exageration either. I was only 50 feet from hard dry pavement, but because I was nose down, useing the winch was impossible. Long story short, after two or three foot-hoofs back to the house for tools, I just took my truck and a chain and yanked it back to the pavement. Then I towed it home by the same chain. (No trailer). Changed ALL my chains the next day and laughed at the whole ordeal. Wish I had it on tape. Havn't had a problem since.
          It's all just nuts and bolts.

            I Broke a shift pin in my Wolf, in my Backyard swamp (Putnam Pit). I wasn't far away, but it's nasty stuff, drove on the left side and used a poll to keep from turing right. If I knew what had happened I would have pulled the shifter and put it in forward with a screwdriver. Oh well. It took about an hour and a half to go ~ 100 feet out of the swamp
