Is that the only diff on the crusher vs the dark horse? (the hubs) or are the windows different also? Last time I was at Cabelas they didn't have one set up so I could compare. Thanks!

I thought they were exactly the same set-up, same size, everything, but the Crusher was made from a different material. More cotton than nylon, less shine, and it also had a more 3D pattern that I'm sure would be easier to hide. I believe the crusher also had some loops attached to add brushing matierials. Overalll, I liked the Crusher better, just not $100 better.

The crusher has 360 degree window & the dark horse is only 180.

I have the 360 degree window on my blind. It was nice to adjust the window when the birds come from behind you. I would definitely spend the extra money.

360 degree's all the way, so nice to have when the birds get in close and start working around the deeks, and when there's just birds everywhere, make sure your wearing a lot of black it helps big time inside a blind!

One thing to remember with the 360 degree windows. You may be skylined when turning around in there. This is the main reason I went with the darkhorse. You still have the shooting ports if they come from behind.

When Im using my blind. Evenly though it has 360 windows, I usually have the windows closed behind me, so Im not skylined. If turkeys decide to come behind the blind, Im still able to adjust the windows. As long as they are not too close.

Using the port holes is a last resort for me. You have to open them, unless you leave open, which I dont. Plus they are lower to the ground, so I have to move off my chair to use them. Thats my 2 cents

A electronic range finder is a good tool to use. But you cant use one during the hunt. I found that tidbit of imformation at last years Turkey Clinic in St Cloud.I check the distances before I hunt and mark off 30 yards with sticks and twigs.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
