Anybody have a snowdog in NH? If so do you register it? Is it required. Will inquire but wondering what NH requires. Nothing found online thanks

I doubt you would. You will need a trailer to haul it.

My Argo isn't allowed on trails either...still have to pay up "sucker" and extra $$ because of no club affiliation.
If it has a motor and a track (which it does) you will likely have to register it in my opinion...

Nothing is free anymore

I’d say you would have to...even using a golf cart needs registration OHRV

Can you explain this.? Im not familiar with this. Why join a club ? I wont be using trails. If i have to register it so be it. Whats the process ? Seems more complex than a boat reg or a car

By joining a club it is cheaper to register if not it will cost you more

Arctic Addict · « **Reply #8 on:** Mar 17, 2019, 06:47 PM »

Being a member of an ATV or snowmobile club makes you eligible for a discounted registration on your machine.

Lv2hunt · « **Reply #9 on:** Mar 17, 2019, 06:48 PM »

It winds up being the same you save 30 bucks if you join a club but it costs 30 bucks to join a club. It's a no win!!

Fishermen · « **Reply #10 on:** Mar 17, 2019, 06:52 PM »

As of right now you do not need to register a snow dog but I am sure that will change because nothing is free phone calls go along way

Eventually they'll probably try to make it like a snowmobile or an ATV good luck

I will look into it. Just wondering where you found out ? Ill call tomorrow if i have time. Thanks for the info. Figured no registration is a pipe dream

How much does. A snow dog go for price ?

SALMONEMIA · « **Reply #15 on:** Mar 18, 2019, 04:46 AM »

2900 to 3700. Im looking at a used one that might be for grabs

fishingidjit · « **Reply #16 on:** Mar 18, 2019, 05:57 AM »

You are not riding ON it so why should you have to register it? Registering a lawn mower will be next!

Don't give them any ideas.

mowbizz · « **Reply #18 on:** Mar 18, 2019, 06:59 AM »

Same concept as the old “Diablo Rouge” back in the day...it pulled you along just like the Dog. That’s why they have the “OTHER” designation in the registration rules. My Argo is an “other” and so should the snow dog.
One call the department and you’ll get your answer (as vague as they usually are)

SALMONEMIA · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 18, 2019, 08:11 PM »

Spoke with someone today that has one in NH. It is required to be registered. 66 dollars he said. Im assuming that is with a club membership. Thanks everyone.
Hope he decides to sell it and ill grab it.

Looking at the snow dog brings back memories of a relic Gravely 2 wheel tractor from the farm a long time ago. It had a cant kill it motor (might have been a tecumseh), handlebars, pto, snow plow, etc. My Gramps(a fine irishman) put heavy chains on the wheels and built a sled with skis on it with a sulky seat to haul firewood, etc.. The Gravely was built in the 1930s and my Gramps probably found it at the dump and gave it a new life. Fast forward 85 years and add technology and you have a snow dog.

Boys being boys we put the Gravely to other uses. We took it out to a pond and plowed out ice skating trails for the girls and a pond hockey rink. We had some great memories from those times. Yes it was slow but it sure beat shoveling.

I recently called concord headquarters about antique snowmobile reg . Was told if the machine is 25yrs or older one time registration fee . Also applies to atv s . Think that will be the way I go next season . Look for a antique sled . Just something to get on and off the lake .

Sno dog is the modern version of the Bolens Hus -Ski.

If you want some ice transportation on the cheap, you can't really beat an old fan cooled, long track snowmobile. Bought myself a 1991 Polaris 340 GT Lite for $500 this past December. Registered it at F&G as an antique for $52.50 for the rest of my life. Probably the best money I have spent on ice fishing gear and it puts a smile on my face every time I ride it! Pair it up with a Bayrunner Shanty and you've got it made! If you see me out on Ossipee Lake stop by for a beer!

Cool story!
Relic is a relative term. I have seen a few of those Gravely's used for their intended purposes not that long ago. I'm sure there's some still working around, today.
It's remarkable how much newer farm machinery is based on original horse drawn designs. I used a horse drawn mowing machine (cutter bar) of the 30's and older vintage for many years. There's thousands of those old machines still being used today.

Thats because stuff back then was built to last and work. Most things now a days are all disposable. I have a john deere lawn tractor and a snowblower that are both 30 years old and have never let me down yet. where as my neighbor is on his 3rd snowblower and 2nd mower in the past 10 years all bought at home depot.

Sad, but true!
Before John Deere made those lawn mowers and blowers, and tractors, they made horse drawn equipment. Some is still in use today. FWIW, a lot of their smaller tractors today, are made by Yanmar in Japan.
Kinda sad to have to grab a metric wrench to work on a green tractor.

ice fisher · « **Reply #27 on:** Mar 19, 2019, 06:17 PM »

Burgeruh that's my thought vintage snowmobile and it'll be the best money spent to ice fishing equipment for me as well😊

Yep, Stealth!

I have a 1070.
Good little tractor, not sure why JD thinks their paint & parts are so special though?
I always buy OEM parts for a fraction of their cost, elsewhere!
