I love watching BRs plow..I got a great plow kit with the 250ES I bought it the summer, but I got a crap 50ft driveway. So I sold the plow to a buddy and told him I wanted video of the plow in action. Well he just emailed that his BR is out of commision for an unknown amount of time so I probably won't get that video..

Post a really good plow video of your BR once the snow falls..PLEASE!!!

nice score! looks to be in nice shape.

Nice Big Red indeed, best ATC ever made IMO. I was looking at the manufacture label on yours and noticed it was made in 3/86...I believe mine says 11/86...I'm wondering if they made them every month or what?

You going to OHIO for this one hey? Nice score

Nice Bigred, Wish i didn't have to sell mine...

Dont worry there will be videos! I just dont know whether to mount it to my sx or throw it on the big red.

I saw that as well on mine and i was thinking that seemed a little 'early' in the year. I would think yours would be more valuable as its "closer to the wire". Runs great though. I didnt realise how big these things actually are. Starts right up, dont even need the choke lol. But ya she is a tank!

Definitely the BR..you'll need the extra weight for traction.

[atc007]

Glad to see ya found one!!! Greatest ATC ever produced. You will Love it! My decades of miles on these admittedly came on 85's,,hence ,no cold start. BUT,,that should not fire right up,without choke. I'm guessing you're 20 or so with windchill up there tonight? Should need choke. May need carb work. Great pickup though!! Congrats!

[tri again]

aaah one of 4,000?
Feel free to feel special.

If you really want your world rocked, search youtube for
big red with silverback tires.
It's like a ballarina for godssake.

[userj8670]

I think those are WAAAY to aggressive for what I will be doing. I think a set of bearclaws though would do just right!:) Dont get me wrong, Im all about aggressive tires, but those are just like caterpillar treads

[atvnut]

Congratulations! Nice score!

[userj8670]

Thanks! I'm very happy with it. Runs like a dream

[oldtime3wheeler]

Does Big Red you picked up there. I would put the cycle country plow on that. It will plow better than the sx.

[CRAZY70MAN]

I should have.....I should have.....I should have........pondered over that trike for hours when it was first posted. It was 35 minutes away from me>>>>>> That was a really great deal. At least a member got it. Had to many irons in the fire at that time unfortunately. Have fun and congrats.......

Hi

I was tending more towards the agility of these big machines.
2 impressive vids are the big red with silverbacks and floating big red.
Kinda shows what they can do since it's new to you.

I have an 87 and it does seem heavier than the others but have an 85 that I swear the tires are filled with helium.

Not sure why they are so different (feeling) but they are simply the most comfortable
and a mighty fine addition to any collection.

Make sure your side covers don't fly off if you trailer it and keep smiling.

[captainweezy]

Nice buy....I have an 87 with title also. Its a good feeling to have a low produced trike with Title.

[userj8670]

Yes it is. I can't believe I actually found and own an 87. I can't wait to try out the cycle country plow. Now if only I could find a nice front rack for it I'd be set. The one on it is pretty badly bent.

[Thorpe]

^^^ Bent racks are good to modify! Dont throw it away when you get a nice one!
