Riding mower on the ice

I've seen set ups to put chains and plow blades on riding mowers/lawn tractors, but never seen one on the ice.  Has anyone tried using one to pull a shack around?  Is there a reason why they are not used?  I understand that a 4 wheel drive ATV would probably be better, but if I already have the riding mower, why not use it?

Thats funny for 40 years of ice fishing Ive thought about the very same thing. To day my tractor is to big. Good luck on your idea! :icefish:

Saw one on the ice the other day. I would imagine they need to be registered with DNR for use on the ice.. dont know though

jstfish:
Riding mowers dont have to be registered.  There not like a snowmobile or atv.

Thanks everybody.  I suspect that it would not be ideal.  I've been ice fishing probably 15 years and never seen it.  I hardly ever see snow mobiles pulling shacks either.  I just don't know why.
