Are you tired of slipping and falling on the packed snow or ice this winter?  Do you have elderly friends or family that have fallen on the packed snow and ice? Then you know the cost of not having traction devices!

YakTrax traction devices offer 360 degrees of traction. The coiled spring steel is wrapped around tough provides traction that is unrivaled by any other traction devices! YakTrax are the perfect solution for anyone walking, hiking, jogging, or working on packed snow and ice. Their fans span everyone from the elderly gathering their mail from the mailbox, to mail carriers, to Winter Olympics employees, to workers working in Antarctic, Ice Hockey Trainers, or anyone else who does not want to fall on the packed snow and ice!  View the list of happy users!

There are 2 different models. The Walker model is lighter duty than the Pro model. The Walker model is designed for those who walk on the snow and ice. The Pro model is designed for those who work and are otherwise very active on snow and ice. Another good reason to purchase the Pro models is to prevent them from slipping off your footwear.

What should I do to winterize my lawn mower?

There are several things that are rather important to increase the chances of your machine starting in the spring without a severe work over by your small engine technician.  Below are a list of things that need to be completed, in the order of importance (in my opinion).

1.  Service your fuel system:

• A. Stabilize your fuel and run the engine for several minutes to allow the fuel stabilizer to permeate the fuel sysem OR
• B. Drain your fuel and run the engine out of gas OR
• C. Perform "A", shut off the in-line fuel shut off and then run the engine out of fuel.

2.  Change the engine oil.
3.  If your mower has a battery, disconnect the negative battery cable (or both) from the battery. Optionally, you could add a battery disconnect on the positive side and then simple turn it off.  There are several of these available, however, I would recommend the "safety switch" model.  This particular one is very simple.  You simple "turn" the switch off in the fall and "turn" it back on in the spring.
