Gam,See if we get a discount if we buy 2.
I'm sold on one, I'm all in when the new ones with the handlebar mounted reverse arrive. One thing I'm not doing is using the machine as a pusher, what a wreck if the lead sled gets hung up.
I really like the Snowdog, but I think they'll hurt their cause with the front seat setup. The videos from Russia remind me of the US 50 years ago, none of the nanny state safety rules, which is really cool. Somebody will catch a foot under the track or get runover in a pileup and although it is/was the drivers fault, the US safety regulators will be all over Snowdog. Mandatory helmets, registration, and insurance coming soon to a state near you.
Agreed, a helmet with a visor would be an asset. Was out once in a bit of a blow, glasses got covered, snow melting in my stache, hard slugging along.
Very cool! I just took mine on a 10 mile trek to get the feel for it before I head out to a remote lake for a camp-over in my pop-up this weekend. Hope yo collect some pictures of my mule train over the ice.
I test road and brought home a standard model 13 hp with reverse this past week. Then headed north to Indian Lake for a day trip ride. Winter is still holding on strong (April 6, 2018) with at least 10" of ice, shore to shore, on the southern end. What fun...
Gam,Keep me posted on what you find. Thanks!
