Tree stand suggestions.

Looking for portable treestand recommendations. I would like it to be easy and quiet to setup. I would be packing it in and out for each hunt. I use an older climbing stand, but it is noisy and clunky to get up in the tree. The farthest I would hike with it in my area is probably a 20 minute walk.

Thanks,

Jim

GBC Grim Reapers or Kenda Bearclaw HTR?

Up to 30 plus plugs in my stock Carlisle ACT radials on my 2012 Outlander 650 Max XTP. Tired of fighting flats so time for a tire upgrade.

Ride a mixture of everything terrain wise so looking for an all purpose tire besides a Maxxis Bighorn. Want a whisker more mud capability than a Bighorn provides but not a mud tire either. Ride lots of hardpack, gravel, and chips and dust mixes. Note: The Outlander max’s were still Gen 1 frames in 2012 so tierod clearance is more of a concern on the Gen 1 when trying to go oversize width on front with stock rims.

My machine is stock and I consider myself a fast/aggressive rider. I plan to keep the stock rims and not really interested in a clutch kit either. My Quad originally came with 26x8x12 and 26x10x12 factory but the Carlisles run short and are nowhere near that.

Been reading for days now: I think I have my choices narrowed down to two:
A) GBC Grim Reapers in 25x8x12 and 25x10x12 (I wish GBC’s did not run typically short. I like the rim guard and the tread pattern).
b) Kenda Bearclaw HTR (Lots of rave reviews on here. I like that these run oversize a bit expecially since I already going smaller than factory size at least by numbers anyway. Lack of rimguard and I less impressed with the tread pattern visually but my opinion is meaningless if it works good).

Help convince me one way or the other…..

Newbie 700 ranger TPS

Hello all just signed up. And yep you guessed it. Looking for some help. I have a 08 700 ranger and having the old TPS issue. Problem is I followed the long version. Set my TPS to .528 with butterfly closed cable disconnected and idle screw backed off. Adjusted idle screw so TPS was reading .660v. Readjusted pedal cable so I had full sweep to 3.6v and now it disent even run. Any thoughts ? Note. Kinda strange I had to turn the idle screw down 2 1/2 turns to get from .528 to .660. Unit is over fuelling and backfires. ?
