By the comments you have received, trespassing is a sorespot with the farmers & land owners on this board! I'm sure they've all had some unfortunate experiences with people who don't have permission to be on their properties. In my family's case, one incident (out of about 50 or so that I can relate,) almost cost us the farm. Hunters opened a gate to let their dogs through, and didn't close it back up. Cattle got out, and into corn field. Three died, others got violently ill, and milk production dropped. That was a huge loss for a small farm in in the 1950's. We've had other damages to crops & equipment, arson, theft, dumping, spoiling of our hunting, snowmobiling on tree plantation, dumping of stolen goods, and growing of forbidden crops... You get the idea. Now, in answer to your question, I finally caught the grandson of one of those tresspassers fishing on my hidden little lake, and he had to tresspass to get his boat on the lake. The DNR officer was called and ticketed him. He got a $60 fine and a lot of inconvenience dealing with the authorities. ATVs and snowmobiles are just another thing to use to annoy your neighbors. Wonder why they're a little cranky when you encounter them?

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
