1. "you're not liable, someone from NY confirmed that"
That may or may not be true, but just because someone from NY said so, does not make it fact. I'm from NY. suppose I say otherwise? And, I've been told otherwise by State Police up in Jefferson County, NY. And, just because they said so, that doesn't make it so, either. You'd have to be nuts to agree without researching first.
#2 - If it's not that close to your house you will never hear them "
The club here in my area uses a trail that's a mile from my house. During the winter on weekends, we hear the constant loud whine of snowmobiles all night long on weekends, if the snow is good. Sometimes until daylight. Before they came I used to enjoy the peace around here on cold winter nights listening to the coyotes and owls. Now ??
Granted sound travels different in different areas. That's how it travels here, and deep snow does not muffle that constant noise.
I'm not anti-fun, and I also used to be part of snowmobile club. But, we did it in remote areas and used to travel to Old Forge and Tug Hill, NY every winter. We had a lot of fun and bothered nobody.
#1 you are 100% correct on that one. I'm assuming it's true as it sounded pretty much identical to what Maine uses. I know other states do the same exact thing, I'm not sure about NY but if I was a betting man I would guess yes. That being said it never hurts to find out for your self.
#2 Sound does travel differently in different places. Speed also factors in the sound equation. All I can tell you is you don't hear them on my place.
I see your point but anywhere you go it's someone's back yard. This is all for fun, so it's give or take. I guess you just have to see my side as a member of a club that works very hard to keep everyone happy. I just hate it when people who have probably never had anything to do with a club trail spout off and scream "never, they're all hooligans". You on the other hand have some first hand experience. It's not for everyone, not trying to say it is, but there are some very happy land owners out there too.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
