Hello, folks!We're still continuing the development of the reverse kit, its release was delayed until the Fall. Sorry for that, but we're striving to make the product as good as theoretically possible.
Pretty cool to have the company reps on here now. Great opportunity for growing this machine's ice fishing potential. I have a compact that I bought new this February, but it must be one of the first models made as it doesn't look anything like the ones on the website or that people showed on here. Still performs great, we're supposed to get about 2 feet of snow this weekend, should be the dog's last snow ride this winter.....I won't go out on a lake anymore as it is a little too dangerous for my liking plus the fish have basically stopped biting by now.....
I agree, I think there must be several models out there. Ultimately they all seem to be only minor variations and the engines are the same. I got a really nice deal on my unit. We are getting up to 2 feet of snow this weekend so I hope to take it for a spin Sunday.
Will this reverse kit fit current Compact and standard models ?
As pictured my is on the left side. I would be interested in the reverse kit if it is actually an easy add on. Hope they make it for the compact 10, and then there is the question of what model year it is as they aren't very transparent about that right now obviously.
Just a guess here but I suspect all the Snowdogs we have now are all built in 2017 although the sales brochure I got with mine says 2018. I bought mine in November of 2017 but it is common for companies to build their next years units in the previous year. If it was built in say August of 2017 it sure could be a 2018 year model.Gam
thanks for your response gam.. it will be seasonal logging trails i will be using most of the time and i made a custom dog box on an xl sled that is lo profile so its not top heavy with a seat for me also, up 2- 20 mph is perfect i dont want fast i want safety and a machine that will do the work to get us in and out time and again. i see for ice fishing these are a very valuable tool of transportation and work horse... i think it will be the same for hunters and trappers as well but must know limitations.. if they had a 30 day trial i would not hesitate to get one ha ha so theirs a challenge snow dog im call you out. you would get a very honest review from me... thanks, plumber
called snow dog today and they said they sold out to power distributor? not sure what that means but im still planning on a purchase.. they sell them in my town currently and they service them also so that is a plus here, i thank everyone for their posts and information to help the undecided and answer questions that a salesman wouldnt know and an owner would. plumber
I will be the first to slam them if they drop the ball on getting us the reversing kit they promised back last winter which was promised to become available in May of 2018.
