The Czickness LIII….CZing into the summer with friends near and far.

I don’t disagree. I was more having a hard time between shadow 2 compact and just a standard compact and another standard 75. I typically don’t shoot the expensive stuff any better than I do a broken in standard model but I also don’t do comps or anything where the expensive things shine.

I bet you would. The trigger in these rivals anything that came out of Colts custom shop from the 50's through today.
That's hard to say being a Colt guy.
When my son ordered it, I was shocked when I took it to the range and ran a few boxes through it.

Yep especially if one must put up with a Disneyland trip to please the family.

I truly thank god that I never had to endure that myself. Single dad with two sons, We always voted on the vacations we took each year. Disney and other amusements never were in the running.
A week at the beaches in Maryland riding slick track go carts until we were sick of them. Endless pit beef sammiches.
A friend that I worked with at Otis has a cart track there.
Two weeks driving to see my father in FL. And then heading to the FL coast beaches and back up the coast seeing all the Armed Forces Museums, a few beaches and worthy Surplus stores.
And in the fall a long weekend at The Creek.
Damn we laughed and had fun...

Of course the Kubota had a bucket. Has heat and A/C also. I doubt that I would ever get it up to 65mph. I did go 40 in it and that was fast enough.

Wow that's really fast for a Kubota!

Here's a test, hook up a 2,000 lb trailer and get her up to 65mph and stand on the brakes in a panic stop. As soon as it stops do it a second time.
Please have someone video it.

What is this "second time" you speak of?

WTS: - CZ 527 American M1 223/5.56

CZ 527 American M1 in 223 / 5.56 with a nice walnut stock. This is the flush magazine version without webs on the trigger guard. It can also take the regular 5 round magazine. The gun is in new, never fired condition and includes one 3 round magazine and the supplied scope rings along with all...

I'm actually very happy that's at the price point it is. The FJ fund has taken over all the other funds, but if it was at much less than that it would actually be a temptation.

Lol. Or drop a 2,000 boat in the water on a wet ramp....
Please video it.

Well that's easy all you have to have is traction for the trailer if you're dropping in.
Might just get the winch involved for taking out.

Oh that's right, you have a wife....
I have a ME fund. So sorry.

Wet ramp
Boat 2,000lbs
4x4 1,500 lbs = not enough mule. Hopefully it has humvee snorkeling on it dropping a 2,000 boat in.

He needs a tree with a Ramsey winch to get them both up the ramp with.

The Shadow 2 Compact is worth it IMO. I love mine

Hmm i thought the boat came off the trailer when it got in the water. You'd be left with a 300lb trailer.
Not a boater, don't know anything about it I guess.

It's really a nice pistol, I've been looking at them also.

You have to stop it when the boats on the way down the ramp and in the water. It's still attached to the front of the trailer with the trailer winch.

It gets lighter as they enter the water. You might be ok getting it in, but coming out might be a trick.

My question is, "Why would you get yourself in this predicament? "

 

[KJQ6945]

Launching a boat wouldn’t be an issue at all. Once the boat is floating, there is no weight on the tow vehicle.

Recovery would be a little difficult.

 

[KJQ6945]

Patience beat me to it!

 

[ChrisK]

If I was launching a boat with it I would be using the 7 P’s…. Pryor Proper Planning Prevents Pi** Poor Performance…Stupidity wouldn’t come into play. It does have a 4500 lb winch on the front.

Here's a hint, the tonnage doesn't change when it's displaced in water. It's still attached to the trailer with its winch cable.
The tow vehicle still has to stop it.
If not somebody better be in it or you get to watch it float away from the ramp.

I wouldn't fall for that, if what I'm towing has more tonnage than what I'm towing it with, it better have awesome working brakes on what I'm towing.
And most marine trailers have hydro surge brakes. And generally one puts in a pin to disengage those brakes while backing up so the brakes don't activate.

 

[KJQ6945]

Work smarter, not harder. Here’s how you do it, all by yourself.

My Ranger was 21’, the trailer, 25’. Untie the boat completely, winch strap included. Attach 30’ rope to the front of the boat. Throw the rest of the rope in the bed of the truck, close tailgate with the rope feeding out beside the tailgate. Large knot on the other end of the rope, that can’t get past tailgate. Launch boat, then pull up gently until the boat is beached 5’ behind the trailer. Coil up the rope, park truck, then go fishing.

I'll admit to partaking in the entertainment of watching people in a hurry on a Sunday late afternoon trying to get boats on trailers. Two old neighbors and I used to take lawn chairs and a cooler of beer to the boat ramp on these occasions. Late summer when water got low and ramps greasy with algae we saw a lot of unfortunate folks get vehicles in the water.
