My Maximum Winter Range Hauling a Trailer
This may be of interest to some one wanting to haul a trailer in winter conditions.
Helped out a neighbor today.
We hauled his snow blower to the repair shop with the I Miev
Almost froze our fingers off connecting the trailer
We left with fully charged
got back with ...............................2 km.........( 1.24 miles ) left
I did not use the electric
heater only the diesel heater.
The temperature was .....................-23C............( -9 F )
21 km (13 miles ) each way
Total trip was..............................42 km........( 26 miles )
The average speed was...................50 kmph....( 31 mph )
Elevation difference.....................195 meters...( 640 feet )
between the two points
with a few ups & downs in between
There was one casualty
Our center fold down arm rest lost its padded flip up lid
for the storage compartment.
The thin plastic on the hinge became too brittle with the cold
and snapped when my neighbor bumped it
wrestling with his heavy winter coat buckling up his seat belt
Might have to look into a replacement
