Covered Wagon
« on: Feb 26, 2015, 03:38 PM »
Thoughts on making an ice sled with 4 bike tires instead of ski's? In deep snow it might be the ticket. You could almost make it like a miniature covered wagon.

Sounds like a good idea, try it out. I know I am curious how it would work.

that does sound like a good idea, I just made my smitty sled this year, and I am thinking of trying to mod some wheels onto the sled ,, so when there is no snow, I could pull it over the terrain to get to the lake   l was trying to think of a way to use my deer cart, but think its too high to be useful. But I need to look at it closer to see if there is a way, that thing should cut thru the deep snow pretty well I should think

I use my home made deer cart but have the five spoke wheels. The snow will pack in the spokes with regular rims.
