I recently bought a Warn PullzAll winch (24v) for snowmobile emergencies such as winching the sled out of deep powder or a snow bank.
It turns out that my tracked UTV was the first machine to get stuck in about 4 feet of very soft, slippery snow.
The PullzAll turned out to be useless because in the -10 degree Celsius weather the batteries were only good for a minute or so. Good thing I found out while I happened to have a bunch of guys to help dig the show from under and around the SxS.
The PullzAll was expensive and that was the only task I had for it. The item is going back to Costco.
Now you know.

2019 Ski-Doo 600 ACE Won't Start - Known Defect - Intermittent
My 2019 Ski-Doo Renegade Sport (Orange Crush) intermittently refused to start. The system electronics would boot up but the engine (600 ACE) would sometimes not turn over.
Stranded out on the frozen lake, I was about get the UTV to tow the sled home when the starter decided to work again.
At the Ski-Doo dealership, the machine started fine (as expected!). The service manager suggested this was user error - that I hadn't waited for the complete boot-up sequence before trying to turn the engine over to start it.
That was not the case. The mechanic discovered there's a known issue with the throttles on 600 and 900 ACE engines.
Apparently the throttle misreports that it is wide open. The onboard computer refuses to start the engine under the assumption that the engine would race, become a hazard, and destroy itself.
The dealership replaced the throttle assembly (BRP part 512061256) under warranty.
