troutbum70 857 #3 Posted August 22, 2019 Tnx jableman its an 88 and like the horse have had it since new. The ranger has just shy of 58,000 miles on it that are for real, spent many years trailer truchin so it sit around a lot and seldom gets driven during the winter and the light bar and brush guard and all were factory. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troutbum70 857 #7 Posted August 22, 2019 The horse done very well, 3/4 of an acre was a field that we brush hogged a couple months ago so it was fairly high. It buzzed right threw, just have to sit back take your time and enjoy the ride as you know these old horses are not very fast so it takes a while. My brother told me he could have done it in half the time with his zero turn, as I told him I am sure your right, but I was not doing time trials I was just enjoying an afternoon ride on the horse 10-4. I saw one of the new rangers the other day being driven by a fortunate fellow, I said to wife man I like that. Wife said to me no way or get a job, so I guess I will keep driving the old 88 hi hi. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We enjoy being outside and having our seat time around here. No TV. No cable. No Internet. No problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troutbum70 857 #9 Posted August 22, 2019 My brother is still working and is a very busy guy, he is a restaurant owner which he has for sale. And also a sales rep for a local food distributer which keeps him very busy. Drives him crazy because my wife and I make a 3 day trip when traveling to Florida and the same coming home. He says I don't how you stand to ride round and around at a little more than 2 miles an hour. I tell him words can not describe the joy of the ride. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
