It did the things it was supposed to do, following the mantra of the man who founded it, a pretty smart guy called Gifford Pinchot. District Rangers were tough guys, able to mark trees or pack a mule. As part of the routine of managing our public lands, a road and trail inventory was kept. The road inventory was called a 7700-9R and the trail inventory a 7700-9T. It listed every known road and trail in existence, based on

      Thanks for accepting me!
      Haven't got a side by side yet, but have been shopping.   
      Any advice welcome & I am on a limited budget, so haven't decided yet on new or used.

      This is the 2020 updated version from the previous 2009 version.  I do not know all the differences.  I do know the 2020 models have throttle body , idle air control valve, & idle control sensor.

      I would really like to know what you guys think about this. I'll try not to ramble and make it as clear as I can.
       
      I took this new job with companyX as a fiber splicer a year ago. I have a 45' bucket truck and 10or12 x 8 ft enclosed splice trailer I have to take home. Within the last 6 months all the management in the splice dept left. Now the power/construction management and higher ups are filling in. Just recently we were told travel to our 1st job is not payable even though we are in a company vehicle. 
      We are union so I asked the union business manager about this. His reply was be grateful you were paid travel as long as you were and that you don't have to drive your POV to the job.
       
      Last week I had 50hr total. The job area is 4-4.5 hrs away. My time was reduced to 44.5 hrs since we were told this travel thing on Tuesday of that week. I wasn't hired for this area. I was hired for area a lot closer to home. 
       
      Pay is good. Work is not hard. Insurance is through the union and so far pretty good.
      But I hate the thought of having to work extra just to make a 40hr paycheck. Anyone who has to drive as part of their job knows windshield time is not easy.
       
      Anyway what do you guys think. Should I look for a different job or just suck it up because of the decent pay and health insurance.

      I've had a Hisun HS500 (Axis 500) that I bought at Lowes almost a year ago.  I have downloaded the service manual found on this forum and notice that they have 2009 and 2010 year dates on them.  Isn't there a newer version available somewhere?  I'm about to try my first ever valve adjustment and am wondering if the info is the same.  Mine is fuel injected but there is carb info in those manuals.  Don't know if they still have carb models now but figure they did then.
      Thanks

      I have the factory service manual available for the Buck 400. Just send me a message with your email and I'll get it to you. Although there is no charge for this, it would be great if  you would visit my website where you could donate any amount to help do things like this with others who need it. Again, there is no charge for this manual, and no obligation to donate. But if you did, I would thank you for sure. Have fun on the trails. www.warriorsoffroad.com
