A couple of weeks ago I was making pancakes for my wife and I and I was spraying the pan with Pam after each batch. I ran out of Pam with 4 pancakes to go so I opened up a spray can sitting right there on the counter, sprayed the pan and cooked 4 more. I thought the spray smelled a little funny so I looked at the can and it was Easy Off over cleaner my wife had sitting on the counter right beside the Pam can. I threw the 4 away, washed the pan and cooked the last few pancakes.
After breakfast I was a little queasy and realized I forgot to wash the spatula so I had ingested a little Easy Off. I went out to feed the birds and threw up a little which made me feel better.
No permanent harm done but a lesson learned….READ THE LABEL! I blamed my wife and she blamed me.
Last week I spent my annual week in Dorchester County, MD chasing the Marsh Ghost, the elusive Sika deer. Thanks to my 2016 Rancher I can access areas that I couldn’t get to any longer due to my age (72) and bad knees. It performed great last year and now it did as well this year. I increased the stiffness of the suspension which allowed for a better ride with two hunters and gear. One day we had two of us, two rifles, packs and two 50# bags of corn.
The main trail in which was beginning to get a high center in certain spots. Never got stuck though but had to improvise three different paths around a particularly nasty hole. Had to winch out of it last month during a work party.
Second shot was where we had to park.
Next was a nasty muddy part but the wheel ruts were solid underneath and didn’t give us a problem.
Next is a spike stag in the Honda drop basket.
Last is the meat pole with two spikes and two hinds (does). The one got half eaten by foxes overnight. I passed up a small spike and hind but the one big stag I couldn’t get a clean shot at so I actually didn’t shoot one this year but came home with the one on the right. We had a spare deer.
Just thought you guys would like to see what we do with these machines which to me was worth its weight in gold.
I pulled the skid plate off a 2016 Rancher to clean the mud and junk out and took advantage of it being off to adjust the angle of the foot shift down a little. Undid the bolt and spread the socket a little with a screwdriver and the shifter loosened up but the frame would not allow me to pull it off and reposition it. I ran out of daylight so couldn’t see it I could unbolt the piece in the way to complete the job.

New last Oct 2016 Rancher the gas gauge never seems to dip below full or 5 bars until suddenly it shows two bars. So it goes from 5 bars to 2 with no 3 or 4 bars. Is this common?
I’m having trouble shifting up to higher gears on a manual transmission. Seems I can’t seem to get enough leverage to easily move the shift pedal. Any thoughts on adjustment or technique?
