has anyone here been in a br500 yet?

sounds to me like the only people in the br500 are the mechanics! LOL

oh come on thay arnt that bad (i dont think) but i hear the 500 has a track twice the size of a 350 and its 8 feet wider and 10 feet longer with a 20 foot blade and a 24 foot tiller

I actually drive a 350 and love it! It has it's up's and downs just like the bullys. I can't imagine something that big on our hill. I could only see it being useful on a couple of our trails. I could foresee it hitting quite a few things on it's first few sortees before people got used to it's size!

There was a demo here on the east coast. I heard they were having a problem with the drive pumps having so much torque that they were shearing the mounting bolts right off. Also heard its a very big machine.

oh yes its a big cat but i just wanna take one for a test drive. i'm in a 350 also, along with a 275mp, and the 500 i herd has 2 pumps for each track which i could see from the size of track

I drove the 500 demo and all I can say about it is, wow... everything about it is big, including the chumrows that come out of the tiller.

where about did you demo a 500?

It was at Stratton last week.
Last night I found the celler holes it dug on the pitchs of upper kidderbrook in my 350 and, for the first time this year, I had to use the abort button but I still sunk big time. The 500 can be devastating when your trying to find a base somewhere in the snow.

that would be fun lol
