I'll be sure to post one when I have it all together again. Fire risk is all time low right now and it's not safe to have water in the tank or pump at this time cause it will freeze and burst. I'll have it together in about a month and will post some pictures of it as I prepare for the spring fire season.

Thanks for your interest.

Very true. I just retired from the City of Calgary and moved up north to God's country almost 3 years ago.
My wife and I used to motorcycle ride down to Montana often. Have good friends in Billings. It's a great State! So good that it's almost Canadian! LOL

True--very similar. Chief Joseph thought he was in Canada, safe from the 7th Cavalry, but he was still in Montana, in the Bear Paw mountains, south of Havre (which in those days was called Bullhook Bottoms), and his band of Nez Perce was wiped out. There is hardly any physical difference between Northern Montana and Alberta or Saskatchewan. Flat, wheatfields, grain elevators, oil derricks, and brutal cold in the winter. Poor Chief Joseph could have used a GPS... In those days there was no wire fence alongside the border. When I was in Montana there were quite a few Canadians who drove to Havre from Saskatchewan to buy groceries and other things that were cheaper in the U.S., while people from Havre drove to Medicine Hat to buy gasoline, cheaper on the Canadian side of the border than in the U.S. Or maybe they only thought it was cheaper, because the Canadian prices at the pump were by the liter, non by the gallon. I can imagine someone not too bright in matters mathematical saying: "Wow, look at the price of gas at that pump! In the U.S. a gallon of gas costs more than four times that much!" And maybe he wondered why with such low price, a full tank would cost only a few dollars less than in the U.S.

I looked close at mine today and no way is it a wrap. It appears to be part of the plastic mold. Tough stuff. Much better than a wrap.

Agree i just got a 2012 1100 yesterday and looked close at the camo and it does look like it's part of the plastic molding. Don't like the camo that much on the rtvs but it's starting to grow on me. I'll take a camo 1100 with cab and heat ac and all the extras over a blaze orange 900 that we had. Always wanted a 1100 now I have one.

I like it in camo. When I go hunting I tuck my Kube on the side of the trail, into the brush and under a canopy of trees, so that the game warden can't see it when he flies over. Not that I intentionally break the law, but at times I might set up less than 100 yards from a feeder, say 80 yards from it. It's hard to tell how far a feeder is when you can't see it or pace off the distance in a straight line because you'd have to go around some impenetrable islands of brush, briars and trees. But Johnny Law in these parts tends to be picky and exceedingly strict... A Kube clad in inmate orange would be so easy to spot from the air...
 
This is just the opinion of an old fogey but even 100 yards is too close to a feeder. I think in Texas you CAN actually watch the feeder but I have never done it.

I tend to agree with you, but where I hunt, the friend who leases the place has placed a feeder at the edge of every food plot. Except for the food plots, the rest of the place is thick forest and impenetrable brush, with tough thorny vines that make it impossible to walk through without leaving behind pieces of clothing and skin or without tripping and falling. All the trails have been made with a bulldozer. When I hunt for deer I set up by the trails far from food plots and feeders (which the deer visit only at night anyway), but when I hunt for turkeys I need to be at the edge of a food plot with the decoys in the middle of the food plot, where they are visible. And staying at the legal distance from the feeders is very difficult. At least I set up where I can't see the feeders, as the law prescribes.
 
Herman, I got a chuckle when I read your color description of the Kubota - not camo - but the other color as " inmate orange". I might have to stencil the sides of my orange RTV with the words, " DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS". Lol Pun intended.
