MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Make sure you add carbide studs to the track. It makes a world of difference.
Is that a dealership install or DIY install? Or either/or? Been leaning in that direction but hadn't made a final decision just yet. If a DIY is feasible, how is it done and/or how easy is it for a very old fart to do?
Light weight, can be loaded in truck bed with gear (no trailer), less fuel, can be used on dirt/mud for hunting. I do see some advantages but I do like my sled which advantages are you can get there quicker, floats over deeper powder & slush at higher speeds, no need for extra sled to sit in, can shoot over water gaps or pressure ridges, rides 2 on one machine.
I'm not sure what the advantage to owning one of these is?
I wasn't either til I watched a couple YouTube videos, a guy drug a moose out of the woods and another skidding logs... it got me thinking!
Nice, congrats. I bought one for this season as well. Got it out last weekend and boy does she pull. just gotta get my last hitch installed and then its time to pull a train across the ice, WoooHaaa. I got a Hitch Hauler to load mine on as by the time I get my flip, jet sled and snow dog driver sled in back of truck I'm loaded. Besides the ice studs in the Track any other upgrades/ modifications you have made @ Gunflint.
Another advantage and the very thing that has me wanting one is this; We have a law in Michigan that "No motorized vehicles" are allowed on state land, that is not designated for ATV use. The snow dog is "NOT" a vehicle, since you don't ride in it or on it. If you go to the Michigan Secretary of State office, they won't allow you to register it, because they say it isn't a vehicle. If they won't register it, because it is "NOT" a vehicle, one should be able to use it on state land and not have to worry about getting a ticket. Well, you probably would still get a ticket, knowing the DNR around here, but it should be thrown out in court. Since the State is saying it isn't a vehicle. The reason this is so important is that I have (2) lake that are on state land about a mile from my house. Since my health isn't the greatest, I'd sure like to be able to haul my gear out onto the lake using this machine. I want one, BAD!
I don't know if "one" guy getting his case thrown out of court would initiate a new law. But, if thousands of guys started using them, I'm pretty sure it would, lol. But then, they'd have to change all of the signs stating "NO MOTORS", costing the state big money!
That's a nice toy Bob, I need to get me one. Curious, did you stud the track? You mentioned going through slush, and your pal got stuck. Any difference in the machine setup, or are you just a naturally gifted SnowDog operator?
