Good points Big Red and also irrefutable evidence of an issue from Farmer Frog since both units are fueled from the same tank. Just to add my $.02 on fuel, I have run only 93 octane non-ethenol 100% straight gasoline from a very trusted source since new. I have experienced the cold start...

I have this issue also on my 2025 but mine is more of a stumble/backfire and will sometimes stall. Do you have any idea of when the latest software update release was made? Mine was built late June, 2025. Had it back to dealer for this issue a couple months after delivery but no newer re-flash...

Thanks RW1616. Let me know if I left anything out -- I'm happy to help. One thing I added to the original post is that I used Vibra-Tite VC-3 thread locker on the 1/4-20 machine screws to prevent these loosening and causing an issue. Regular old blue or red Locktite certainly could also be...

Let me know if you need any guidance - I'm happy to help. And I agree, it is imprudent to go anywhere into the woods without a way to cut your way out. More than once I've gone back wooded trails only to find large fallen timber blocking the route on my way back out.

Just finished fabricobbling this chainsaw scabbard 100% from scrap laying around the shop. Parts list: 3” schedule 80 PVC conduit — 21” length (or as needed) 1pc 3”x5”x1/4” angle iron 10” long 4pcs 1/4-20x1/2” SS torx head countersunk machine screws 2pcs 3/8-16x1” SS flange head bolts 2pcs...

I have experienced the "SMACK" sound... once. Very loud and pronounced like something hitting the skid pan on the front passenger side but it was once so I shrugged it off... until you posted this. I have just 450 miles on the odometer.

Welcome to the forum Sir.

Mr. C, FYI, NOCO also makes the AX65 which is a combination boost pack AND air compressor. I chose the Air 20 however because I already have a dedicated NOCO booster and the AX65 is around $300. The supply specs of the Air side of the AX65 are actually even better than the Air 20. Just wanted...

Thank you Mr. C! The inside storage is definitely a consideration. I added the KOLPIN bed box which for now has completely provided a storage solution for necessary tools, recovery gear, tire inflator, etc. BTW, I went with the NOCO Air20 inflator and have been totally happy with its...

Thank you Big Red.

Thank you for the add to the Ranger 15000 XD Forum. I am a brand new owner of a 2025 XD 1500 Crew Northstar Ultimate. This is my first SxS to own but have operated them for years. So far I have been super impressed with the capabilities of this machine! Primary uses will be farm chores and...
