Title: Re: Post your ride
Post by: surflizard on Feb 07, 2010, 04:17 AM
Hey Atv jumpers, hows it going ? The chains are Moose utility v-bars. It took about 10 minutes to install both sets. They have a hook on the inside and a fold over lock on the outside. We had a hard melt and a harder freeze up here a week ago. Nothing but glare ice here now. Hopeing there's enough in my tax return for 4 new
ITP AT mudder tires. I'll keep the chains in the rear box just in case. For 20 bucks they are great cheap insurance!

When the ice is thick enough this beast makes her way onto the water. 91 Bronco, 4" lift. Has 33's now. Custom chameleon paint. 302 bored and cammed, 3/4 ton axles/suspension, warn hubs. Also have a 12,000lb winch to go on the front bumper. Getting a set of chains for the old girl this year maybe. She needs a bit of body work but runs like a champ and has yet to get stuck

My only complaint is that the tow bar had to be mounted to high up the front of the Fish Trap, causing it to nose dive in deep drifted snow (12" or more). When you're only playing with 25hp, every little bit matters.

Here is my sled.  I mounted an auger mount to the front, it's pretty sturdy and works quite well.  I wouldn't go ripping down the trail but it works great for the small ride to the lake and on the lake.  I use the sled to pull this monster.  It is my first year with both the fish house and sled so I had some fun with things!

I had the mount on the rear bumper, but it wouldn't sit sturdy with the tow hitch mount and blocked the tail lights.  I don't need any reasons for a CO to come after me.

I am still trying to figure out just what I want to do with a front auger rack? I am also trying to figure out how to stow a bucket, shovel, tow strap, scoop, rod and a flasher on the sled yet still easily accessed...

CMMahy, I was considering with the same setup but off the front bumper, can you comment on the red straps?

jasond37, I did look at the auger rack you have, how did you mount it on the front? Why only smallrides?

Thanks again for your input, bart

Post by: jasond37 on Mar 16, 2011, 05:37 PM
It's basically a bar clamp and it fits snugly over the front bumper, sandwiching it.  It has a few different holes for the mounting bolts, allowing you to adjust specifically to whatever it is you are mounting to.  It can handle long rides, I just wouldn't want to get in the woods on a narrow trail because the auger hangs out just over the skis.  I rode around in the yard pretty hard when I first installed it to work out any kinks, it was pretty solid and I was impressed.  I was going to head up to Lake of the Woods later this week and it would've had a real test, but work got slow and I have a few days off coming up.  I mounted it to the rear too but with the tow bracket it just doesn't sit straight, and it blocks the majority of my tail light.  I like how it is more out of the way in the front, I don't have to worry about snagging my leg on the auger and probably causing damage to something.  I can monitor it better too with it on the front.  Here is a pic of that:

I added a 10" Rigid Industries LED light bar over the summer, going to rock for checking tip ups this winter.  Right now, it's all done up for summer trail riding, which I've only done about 30 miles worth this year, compared to nearly 800 last year, oh well.   I'm ready to put the auger rack and drop basket back on and get out on the ice anyways.

Bart -

I built this rack for my two up which had a basket on it.  It clamped to the basket.  Worked very well for my
auger and buckets (one for bait, one for flasher) until I sold the sled with the rack.

Mainedog, looks like a nice setup, even better with the Nils nestled on there.

Are those Kolpin Rhino Grip XL UTV Mounts on there? What kind are they? And how much clearance is there between the auger blade and where it is attached to your rack? I'm planning on a single flat shelf type rack with side rails and trying to figure how high the rails have to be so that the auger blade clears it.

Not to intentionaly stir the pot, but we had to help pull one of those argo rigs out of the slush last Febuary, Everybody got stuck in that slush last year ! the guides that do use them in this area don't run them on the ice without the cleat track assemblies on them ! the plus side being that if you do go thru, you will float as long as the drain plug is in !  ;D

I put those ratchet straps on as added insurance before my first trip out, after using the Mad Dog mount a few times I realized it held just fine and I didn't need them anymore. My only compaint with the auger mounted sideways (especially with the extension on it) is that I'm worried about damaging the auger if and when I flop the snowmobile on it's side. I dumped it twice last season, luckily both times were at slow speeds and it fell on the powerhead side, but if it fell the other way it could break the mounts or bend the auger. I'm going to try and get a mount rigged up similar to what RavineRat has on his.

Still "arranging" things like the GPS and mount.  Did not like the RAM mount (not strong/solid enough) so relocated the windshield to the front box/auger mount; making room on the handlebars for a homemade GPS mount.  Don't use the windshield or the front auger carrier in the summer months, so that worked out well.
Also want to do an Otter Medium Monster Box on the rear; but don't have room in the 10' trailer for it.  The machine, with tracks is 9' and, as is, there is not much vertical room either.  I need to go for a 12 or 14' long X 7' wide  X 5' high, enclosed trailer.
I like hoff's sled setup but I could not deal with everything being "exposed" like that.  I like my gear clean and dry when I get to and on the ice, with minimal fuss loading and unloading.

 I have my GPS on the handle bar and the vibration make it hard to read, got to reach up and steady it at times. Rethinking the setup and it's the little tweaks can be pretty time consuming getting things just right.
I have a 12' trailer, things are just squeezing in so far. The auger rack going up front will be even tighter.
As far as things exposed, I do want the auger, scoop, flasher, bait and two rods readily available when on the search/mobility?

I agree with those ideas.  I keep my auger out on the front rack and other "little" things in the box under the auger.  I use a handheld depth finder to verify depth and structure, then I get the flasher and a rod out of the rear box.  I don't uncover the flip over until I'm ready to settle in to some fish.  ;D

I mounted a piece of custom cut 2X2X1/4" aluminum angle across the handlebars and have a rigid mount for the GPS.  No vibrations and no problem reading it.
IMO - it's the mount that adds enough vibration that reading the screen is tough.  I'm using a Lowrance BAJA 580C with the fishing hotspots maps and loaded with trails and waypoints (collected from the soft water and the boat) and a map program transferred to the GPS.

I just got a new handheld GPS, Magellan Explorist 510 with the premium Navionics. I also got the planner2 to review the maps on the PC and transfer the waypoints to the handheld. Maybe an additional support to the existant mount may reduce/eliminate the vibrations?

Here's my rig set up without the Yukon, ice sled, studded tires or auger hooked up. Once the season begins here in, I'll have photos of the full set up ;) I need to make up a new ice box but not for this season. The one on there now is about 10 years old so a new improved ice box is much needed. My next one will be 3" shorter, made out of 1/4" plywood and sealed and painted much better.

This is my set up for loading my four wheeler into the truck.

Once it's loaded I turn the shanty 90 degrees so that it fits in the rack and rests on the seat. I tried driving down the road with it loaded like the first picture but it acted like a Sprint Car wing so I had to turn it 90.

Took the new Polaris out for the first time yesterday. Logged over 20 miles riding my friends pasture. I had concern about it only being a 550 air cooled. Didn't know if it would have the power to get through nasty conditions with two people and towing a sled full of equipment. Those concerns died very fast. The 550 has more than enough power, ride is very comfortable too. Only weighs 550lbs. Can't wait to get to use it on the ice. The modified trailer worked very well too. This is a stock pic of the new ride, Polaris 550 IQ LXT.

Post by: jethro on Jan 15, 2012, 10:28 AM
Wow, nice machine Stevek! If I were looking to buy a new sled, that would certainly be a contenter. I've always wanted a Tundra, but I've also never owned a SkiDoo, so it'd be hard to leave Polaris. That sled looks every bit as good as a Tundra and maybe better. All my trail sleds have been Polaris. Owned 5 of them now, my current sled is a 2002 700cc Edge X. Bought for mostly trail use, now sees more ice fishing duty than anything. I can't afford to trail ride anymore, so I do one good trail trip a year. Should be able to start using that thing soon! The new 550 fans are pretty strong machines, no lack of power. And with a long, wide track... you'll be able to go through some seriously nasty conditions.

Thanks Doctorgee. It's actually only a 15" track, but it is 136" and lightly studded. Came with 4" carbides too. Best part was the price, I paid 6200 for a new in the crate 2011 polaris with hand warmers, electric start(+ pull) and electric reverse.

Post by: IDbasser on Jan 15, 2012, 11:17 PM
here is mine, a Kawasaki Brute Force 650.  Me and a buddy took our wives, so the sled had the extra comforts for good eats and to make them more comfortable.  If it is just me (no wife) I can get everything on the wheeler.  The box on the back holds most things, and it comes off to go on a base with skis so I can pull it out by hand if I can't use the wheeler.  Here is a pic of that before it got painted.  works great for a table to work off of.

07 Toyota Tacoma, 6" Lift, 285 17s - first had BF MT KM2s, then Hankook MTs with studs.  I didn't go overkill on tire size, its a nice balance for offroad and highway driving, and its so light with good clearance bigger tires won't help me much in the mud anyway or on the ice.  I got the lift mostly for icefishing, although it comes in handy for hunting to.  I don't get stuck like I used to with my old truck.   Have a 97 indy trail that I use sometimes at first and last ice, or on lakes where none of us locals drive trucks on (spring fed, sheltered lakes, with unpredictable/thinner ice), but I use the truck to get to my spots about 95% of the time.

Post by: Chris Raymond on Jan 24, 2012, 08:30 PM
This is still a work in progress but this year I wanted to get as much gear over suspension and as little in either cargo or tent sleds as possible.  I will still daisy chain two sleds (one cargo and the tent that you see here) if I'm fishing with somebody else and need to haul their gear.  The front box required that I put an extended rack to the front for the auger.  I made the extension removeable as I didn't want to deal with road salt on the bike and trailer with it covered.  I still don't quite have the auger rack the way I want it though, it needs to be mounted a little be better to the bike's rack so as to prevent the twisting you see on the drill side.  It's efficient and organized...but still a work in progress.

hey now that's pretty slick did you build or buy the ski mounts because i may have to build the same kinda set up also how is it in deep snow?

I bought the mounts.   I found the instructions online and bought all the parts off of eBay.   (Cost can vary depending on what's available at the time you look.)

I have not tried it in too deep of snow yet.  I did get it stuck in about 8" of snow on the lake but I think that was due to digging down to the ice and losing traction.   That's when I decided to order some tire chains.     Some people use snowmobile studs, and that would be a better choice for faster riding but I didn't want to invest that much into it at this point.

if you can weld or have some metal skills I don't think it would be too difficult to fabricate a set.  It is basically two pieces of angle steel bolted together and drilled at the top to match the lug pattern of my quad and drilled at the bottom to mate up to a set of Ski Doo Precision Skis.

It seems to work well and allows me to save a little more before buying a new 4x4.

You can get ice screws for in your tires - less that a set a chains and they work really well.  Had them in my 4X4 for two ice seasons before I went to tracks.  I think I can find the order info - if you are interested - PM me.

1995 Polaris scrambler 400cc 4x4 2 stroke with dirt devils on the front and bear claws on the back. I pull a lot of equipment out and passinger on a steel dog sled, but with this crazy year and spoty snow and slush on the ice I decided to pull the viking sled instead. I bought it for $3000.00 in 2002 and put the tires and front rack on. I have never had to put a dime in it since then, except for general maintenance.

With no snow this year the sleds haven'left the garage (1997 polaris rmk 700 modded right out, 1978 kawasaki intruder 440) and haven't bothered to take trikes (2 1983 honda 200e's, 1984 honda 200s) out since the ice has been thick enough to drive on. Also have the 8x8 argo project I'm rebuilding with a diesel motor transplant. And my truck is a 2006 f150 with 35" nitto mud grapplers, 2" lift and some modifications I keep secret, have yet to get it stuck since put new tires on and we go wheeling all the time year round.

1990 Yamaha Phazer ll  Electric start, fan cooled w/hand & thumb heaters...$500.00 two years ago.  The seat was in pretty bad shape but by using expanding foam, sand paper, a little elbow grease and with a new cover, its not too bad.  Not much in the way of ice or snow around where I live last year but I'm hoping to get it out this coming season.  It'll start on the second pull if the battery fails.

Have a 2001 suzuki, quadrunner500, maybe someone could help me out. A few problems, oil leaking from seal around the shaft comming from motor to back rerar end. Think I can figure that out, need to pull shaft apart to replace seal. The other thing is, hear a rattle, knock in motor, didnt hear it before. When the motor runs the oil level in glass window goes down, but pumps back in, is this normal ? After it shuts down, i can see oil going back into looking glass. Though I saw a small metal piece in glass, but now cannot see it. Should the motor be pulled apart, or just take the crank case cover , where glass is off ? Should I just run it, not sure how long its been knocking, maybe I just never heard it.
Title: Re: Post your ride
Post by: michianafisherman on Jul 24, 2012, 05:55 AM
Not the right place to answer a question like this, but I will help. Check and make sure it is oil in your engine and not a mix of oil and gas. Then check your timing chain tension. If you don't know how, have it done at a local shop and see if the noise goes away.
Title: Re: Post your ride
Post by: lakerman on Jul 24, 2012, 10:46 AM
yes, oil is thin and smells like gas, i think. Oil leaks from seal while sitting.not running . Engine starts and runs fine, but knocking.

Ok the oil is leaking out because it is too thin. Drain oil and replace with new and problems should be solved. Should not leak or make noise anymore. It the future make sure to turn of the gas so it can't run into the engine while in storage. Or drain the gas out completely. I hope you didn't run it too long with gas in your oil?
Title: Re: Post your ride
Post by: lakerman on Jul 24, 2012, 03:34 PM
had the machine for 4 years, never had this problem, but will try it now. How does gas leak into oil ? Guess I should start turning it off when I shut it down.
Title: Re: Post your ride
Post by: surflizard on Jul 24, 2012, 06:57 PM
It can leak into the intake thru the carb float bowl if the inlet needle doesn't seat all the way.

Because of its age things don't work like they should. There are different designs for getting the fuel to the carb. I will assume yours is gravity feed with a vacuum shut off as well as a manual shut off. The vacuum shut off is bad or dirty and it is allowing gas to flow even though the engine is not running. This happens allot when this type of system is stored for long periods of time. You would never notice it if you ran it daily.

ok, changed oil, not niosy now, but still leaking, not as bad. Trying to figure out how to break apart the rear driveshaft to replace oil seal where shaft comes out of motor. Got the book on machine ,but not seeing that work in there. 3 bolts hold it in 2 pieces,and big nut on yoke , but no room to pull it apart to get shaft out of motor.

Title: Re: Post your ride
Post by: OldSailor on Jul 30, 2012, 09:14 AM
Nope none yet!
I do carry everything in the sleigh though.  :)
This is the exact reason I bought the quad with the tracks on it.
Driving the quad with the tracks kinda makes you feel like your driving a little tank and you can go anywhere. :)
I've read reports on ATV's and UTV's equipped with tracks and most never go back to wheels. If I could, I would want a UTV for it's added versatility with the small bed, etc. Just my preference, but I like your set up also!! ;D

Ok, back to what this thread is about ................  ;D

Rick -  You copied my "ride".  ;)   Those Tatou track systems are great on the ice, in the snow and on the ground.  However, I do go back to wheels from April to September.
What's the machine you have?  550 - 850 - power steering?  Mine's a 2010 550 without PS.  I find it a "bear" in tight handling on bare ground.

Title: Re: Post your ride
Post by: Lavman on Jul 30, 2012, 01:45 PM
It's the 2011 850 Polaris XP with EPS.
I love the tracks in deep snow because it makes you feel like your floating on air.  :)

Quote " I find it a "bear" in tight handling on bare ground."

The EPS helps enormously with steering and the tracks. When moving I can steer with my little finger and one hand while stopped or moving slow.

I was wondering how well the EPS would hold up to the tracks, no issues to date then?

I was chatting with the outfit that I purchased from - out west - they say they have had excellent success with the Polaris EPS system.  They put on some pretty tough miles and rough handling.

Rick - you are absolutely right about the deep powder snow.  It's an awesome ride.  I don't believe there is a sled anywhere that can perform in the deep snow like the Tatou track system does.
Snow and slush on the ice is the same deal.  The tracks stay on top of most anything but water.
Title: Re: Post your ride
Post by: FISHFORPIKE on Jul 31, 2012, 10:14 AM
I forgot, one problem.
Did they send you the support brackets for the A-Arms? Polaris got them from Tatou because the A-Arms were bending.
Front and rear.
The brackets were free and were installed for free.

Yes - I got them with the track system/kit.

I have been loking for an aftermarket Power Steering Kit for some time - not available (for the XP), that I can find.
Title: Re: Post your ride
Post by: Lavman on Jul 31, 2012, 12:51 PM
I do LOVE the EPS. Went riding with some buddies 2 weeks ago, let one of them drive my wheeler and I drove his 2007 Sportsman 500 HO, no PS. He feels like he is back in the stone age without the PS, I agree! ;D

I am very pleased with my 2012 Sportsman 550 EPS, between the EPS and the ascent/descent control it is a pleasure to operate

Simple Fix: Pull the 4wd fuse.  ;-)

If you were a local guy I'd let you take it for a spin. There really isn't anywhere it won't go. I get some funny looks barreling down the lake in it, that's for sure.

Whats the reason for not going with front tracks?

Title: Re: Post your ride
Post by: WIhoundguy on Jan 09, 2013, 01:57 PM
Whats the reason for not going with front tracks?

I had front and rear tracks on my Grizzly. The thing could go through anything, but it was hard to steer, slow, heavy, hard to steer, hard on fuel, and threw snow all over. Did I mention hard to steer?

By having the skis on the front vs. tracks, I get more power and top end speed because it's not driving the front tracks. I can turn with one hand, use less fuel, stay dry, and can ride on the trails legally in Minnesota. When summer rolls around I just keep the fuse out of the 4wd and leave the tracks on. For what I use it for, it's a no brainer.

What kind of tracks you have on the Griz?  I got the Tatou 4s sytem and I don't get much snow throwing at all.  And the tracks are geared so the front is always "pulling" just a bit more than the rear is "pushing"  So I don't get that "driving the front tracks" thing.  And the this gearing resolves a LOT of the hard steering issues.  I'd like Power Steering but I can live well without it.
I researched long and hard before making a choice on the tracks.  I think it paid off.  Track choice/design really depends on the use.

I had the camoplast tatou's on the grizzly, but this was about 4 years ago. They might have changed the design since then. In anything under about 8" of snow they didn't throw much, but if it got deep it became a real problem. No matter what though it was still slow. When i mentioned "driving the front tracks" I simply meant that it's in 2wd, not 4, which frees up a lot of power that then goes to the rear.

I got tired of tangled lines on the tip-ups so I added the organizer on the front of the ATV. Ice auger scabbard from a sewer pipe, 5 gallon bucket for skimmer/flashlights/small tools, and minnow bucket is a cooler.

You will like the studs and the performance on the ice.  If you tow anything (like a sled or flip-over shantie) watchout when you slow down and in turns - they like to go on by you  ;D

This is nothing compared to today's machines, but for the price, it should do me some justice. 1992 Arctic Cat Lynx/340. Hoping to have a blast with this and most importantly get me to those honey holes I was not able to reach on foot. (crossing fingers it will drag my new ice castle once its finally done.)

That is awesomesauce to hear Jerrife. :) We have had it out a few times this year just for joyriding and it seems to have enough low end torque to manage a shack, as long as we have snowcover over the ice. Now I can put that thoght to rest, just gotta finish up the shack before springtime, rofl.

I bolted them together with 1/4 X 3/4 bolts. The tip-ups stay in there in the off season, stored on a shelf in the basement. I put the handle on it to carry it there.

Studs, their not exactly cheap but you will thank yourself for the investment if you have problems with spinning on the ice. Then get some good carbides and it will ride like its on rails on the ice and go exactly where you want it to go

thanks wipike, I fabricated these. I used a pair of old articat skis. I since, have built a tire jig on the skies, so that now I can just drive on them and the tire sets solid on the skis,makes everything more stable when turning.

well heres my rig ive been working on for a copuple weeks! still a few things to do, like mount a large storage box on the back, and an auger mount on the front. Also need to put on the hand warmers and new grips. Finish my skid plate, and find some 2 link chains for the back! this is an 85 honda trx 250 2X4. the front wheel bearings were shot and wore the spindle down quite a bit. got the wheeler for nothing, and had an arctic cat chassis laying around :)  should do well pulling the little smitty sled i built. i used an old on the roof luggage carrier. the white egg shaped ones, mounted on skis for that

It's getting an auger rack and a GPS, other than that I have no clue.  I shouldn't need studs, most lakes have plenty of snow on them around here.

I've been going through this thread, looking for ideas and I really don't have a clue what I should do yet.

Here's a pic from today. Got to add a flip over to the train asap. I got sick of the tow bars coming off the eye hooks so I changed them out for closed rings and added carbines for connecting. Also have a ring and carabiner on the back of the jetsled to attach another if I have someone else with me, or to pick up walkers on my way in/out.

Finally got a trailer this fall too, now I can lock all my gear and do over night trips.

Nice - Enclosed trailer, IMO, is likely one of the nicest additions to the fishing gear.  Equipment is protected, safe, and "CLEAN".  ;D
I do the same deal with my tracked wheeler.

Agreed. I used a borrowed open trailer the last two years. After one trip having the old Mod 30 on the open trailer, the road salt did more damage to it than the previous 30 years of use. This trailer is 6x14', going a foot wider would make getting the big xl jet sled in easier. But I do like that this one is all aluminum.

Thanks, best investment I ever made. The tow bar used to come off the hooks every time I went over a snow bank, was getting frustrating. I used a set of the heavy duty carabiners (240#ers I think) I think the cheap aluminium ones would bend pretty easily.

It's a 2004 Avenger, the tracks reduce the ground pressure to about a pound per square inch and can supposedly push through a couple feet of powder snow.  A few years ago my two hunting partners and I dragged a couple cow elk through several miles of snow covered forrest roads closed by drifts in the Colorado high country without a problem or worry.  The down side of wide snow tracks is you don't want to run them in mud, they throw the stuff off the track and forward into the vehicle and all over you.  I found out the hard way, everyone but me was laughing.

I never have come up with any good mods.  I hate all the auger racks I've seen in stores and I don't have the tools to fabricate one. 

I just toss everything in the sled and strap it in.  Less than ideal for ice trolling.

Works awesome when there is less than 4 inches of POW.
That is awesome. I never thought of it and kids ATVs are for sale pretty cheap on FB postings and CL.

Here's the King Quad with the recently finished pin hitches to tow the sleds in tandem.

I fabed a T-bar for the front to go into my 2" receiver under my rear winch. Mounted a heavy duty hinge to it.

(http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i391/renegade_pat/e122a9a9-f028-499b-9ead-00c531289916.jpg) (http://s1091.photobucket.com/user/renegade_pat/media/e122a9a9-f028-499b-9ead-00c531289916.jpg.html)

The rear has two plates to reinforce the edge of the sled. Welded the hinge to the top plate and bolted them together to sandwich the sled between them. Strong as hell and ZERO flex. Worked better than I had planned. I have a Jet Sled Magnum to put behind that as well so it should take it no problem.

Thanx. I'm loving how it came out. It was getting a lot of looks and comments this weekend. Then they saw the machine towing it and how it was setup with winches front and rear with a single rocker switch. Heads were being scratched.

My retired mud pit racer now serves for ice transport on the bigger lakes... Sportsman 800, built motor, nitrous, clutched, snorkeled, 3" lift, sold my 32"s so now she's on 28"s. Kind of a pain in the butt to ride slow and mellow... Looking for a vintage sled to take over the chore.

Yes, it is my 1982 Ski-Doo Elite with a 444 liquid cooled Rotax engine. It has forward, reverse, heated grips as well as a am radio. Twin tracks with the motor in the rear...pulls like a tank, and rides like an old school sled

No, I have never had it stuck, but we joke that if I ever do we will need a helicopter to lift it out, It is a great trail machine and an even better ice sled.

For sure two tracks is better than one. ;D Any idea what it weighs, bet it's not real heavy in comparison to some of the 1200cc big boys nowadays.

Its right around the 900 lbs and we estimate 1200 lbs with 2 guys aboard. It has remarkable power and floats very well across ditches and fields. The running gear is basically two Ski-Doo Everests side by side with the 450LC rotary valve engine mounted on top. in the front is a trunk like a VW bug would have. It is geared lower than most of this size, top end is about 55 ~ 60mph depending on the load.

Thats a cool sled I would love to find one of those, like others have said it would not be fun getting that thing unstuck for sure I would mount a winch on it with some steel spikes and somd other recovery equipment just in case I like the looks of the old sleds the new ones remind me of those transformer toys my kids used to play with

Do the same as I do with my tracked wheeler - I'm probably right in line with your weight.  I have a winch mounted so I can move it from front to rear and I carry a nice tow strap with a piece of angle iron.  Drill a hole put the angle iron with the end of the strap attached down the whole and use it as an anchor for the winch.  Never had to do this, but I'm prepared.  @)

A bit beefier than I imagined, but a great machine. What I like about it as a sxs machine for icefishing is that the roll bar doesn't restrict your ability to bail out if you...er...get wet.

Thanks NJ! It's a constant work in progress. I keep my eye out for ideas and good deals (bought the windshield and otter box/auger tube on Craigslist for less than retail). And I'm always thinking of ways to make staying mobile more efficient, comfortable and effective for the way I like to fish. Lots of great ideas out there!

I posted on this thread back in 2010 with an 05 Kawasaki praire 700 I had. Love that machine but it was time for an upgrade. I traded that in along with an 05 Suzuki motorcycle. Bought a 2015 Kawasaki brute force 750 with power steering, winch, front mount plow, ect. Awesome ride so far really like it just need some damn ice. Put a new set of tires on it yesterday to replace the cheap flimsy stockers.

I'm an amateur radio operator (Ham) and have a mobile radio mounted to the ATV and the box is the speaker. I use the bike to help with a communications at a couple events.

I did that on my Camoplast Tatou 4s tracks more than 5 years ago.  Have not lost one yet.  I don't go spinning the tracks out much though and I don't run them on anything but snow and ice.  They work great.  The 4s tracks have the "spots" made for the screws/studs.  If you don't want that you could always put in the expensive snowmobile trsack studs.

I don't think I took any pics. I'll try to remember to take some when I recheck them. They do come out. I haven't noticed any damage. I don't get real long ones. They come in lots of sizes. I just get the 5/8" screws and use a driver. It's really easy. I have total control even on the slickest ice.

You know I didn't really count. I went every other bar if I remember. I believe I got a couple of bags of 250, and that got me through a couple of years. I just ordered a bag of Kold Kutters last night on Ebay for $25 I think. That should last me a couple more years.

We have a tilt bed car trailer we haul it on. I was going to buy a Ranger and track it up with cab and heat.  I figured I would need a trailer to haul that too.

The jeep setup was 4 k less than a loaded Polaris Ranger on tracks.

I thought about something like this before I bought my ATV. The thing I kept telling myself was that I wanted an ATV so I could ride it on ice my truck was too heavy for. This would have defeated the purpose for me. For areas where ice is thick enough for season long useability, this would be a dream.

Well, I think I finally have my ATV set up for the hardwater. I really like this because I can carry all my gear on the ATV. Much better than towing the Otter sled w/cover.
(http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j459/SpitzoMT/20160217_172112_zpsgbqlhmx2.jpg) (http://s1086.photobucket.com/user/SpitzoMT/media/20160217_172112_zpsgbqlhmx2.jpg.html)
The ION sits in a gun rack I bought at WalMart. Looks pretty silly, but I've got a towel wrapped around the auger shaft so it fits real snug. Will change that when I find something more suitable.
(http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j459/SpitzoMT/20160217_172301_zps1a3z25rt.jpg) (http://s1086.photobucket.com/user/SpitzoMT/media/20160217_172301_zps1a3z25rt.jpg.html)
Crates are attached to the rear rack with heavy duty zip ties. Sturdy as can be & all the gear stays in place with a few bungie cords across the crates.
(http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j459/SpitzoMT/20160217_172452_zpszcwyx4u1.jpg) (http://s1086.photobucket.com/user/SpitzoMT/media/20160217_172452_zpszcwyx4u1.jpg.html)

I've been out with this ATV set up 5 times in the past 2 weeks. Needs a couple tweeks to make it even better, but for now it works just fine.

Oh, I bought my first snowmobile about 1 1/2 months ago. It's 13 years old & had 982 miles on it. Very fun to ride & works quite well for the hardwater when there's a fair amount of fresh snow.

I have never seen one of these on the ice here in WI and I fish all over place. With all the slush we have here, I'd have though this would be a dream machine.

52 - It is a great way to go for sure. Not a speed demon like some of the UTV, but I can cross any pressure crack or open water as it will climb back on the ice (reverse only and you have to have the ice cleats).

here's mine, bought it last year to use this year for fishing. We had a warm up in January and the ice blew out, then no safe ice after that. Used it to haul wood from the barn to the house, put 4.2 miles on it.

Do you have video of this thing running? How fast does it go? I'm really surprised that there is enough weight on the "blade, tooth thing" (how is that for a scientific name LOL) to move a boat very well. Cool A$$ idea though.

Right now with the current sprocket it goes about 15mph.. But that's what it did with the 3hp.. Running 13hp now, with a simple sprocket change, I'm sure I could easily double the MPH with ponies to spare..

This is a pretty cool video, pretty funny too.. I don't know them at all, but their reaction to my boat at 12:10 is pretty funny. We were over 10 miles from shore when they caught me on camera..

Title: Re: Post your ride
Post by: Kidder on Jan 20, 2017, 11:30 PM
Honestly with the amount of heat the engine gives off its not necessary. A friend of mine had a full solid cab with a heater and he still had issues with windshield fogging. The soft cab was a fairly inexpensive option and the little bit of air flow keeps all the windows clear.

A Polaris 2 up snowmobile, two artic cat 500 atvs (which we've mainly been able to use the last few years, unless the snow gets too deep), and my honda three wheeler. Believe it or not the honda is so light that with the chains on the rear I can get through most snow with it.

Hi JTrottaNY,

I do have 2.  The one on my ATV is mounted with the supplied U-Bolts that come with the box.  I like the U-Bolts because they do not take up any room inside the box however they are not designed to be removed on a regular basis.

My snowmobile tunnel has a rack that accepts Polaris lock and ride accessories so I mounted that one with "Grip Pro" 1 inch lock and ride plugs so that I can remove it easily when I want to hit the trails once in a while. I'll add some pictures below.

'New-to-me' sled ... 2015 Ski-Doo Renegade Backcountry 600 E-TEC. Can tow my old covered sleigh with all the angling gear I'll ever need, but currently set up for quick light running and gunning ... DeWalt DCD996 / K-Drill 8 auger combo (and shovel if needed) held by Kolpin grips mounted on the rear bumper, plus Cabela's tackle bag ... all additionally rubber-tarp strapped to the rear tunnel. I strap-on my custom Garmin ice shuttle backpack while on the move.

Cant wait to take it ice fishing.

Finally got around to building my rear rack and setting the wheeler up for the upcoming ice season (disclaimer : I took the ice fishing stuff off after the pics and put it back into trail riding set up for the rest of the summer)

this is the rack I designed.  If I ever do a second one it would use a 2" square tube on the vertical part instead of a reducer. Left the pin out do to needing to oversize the hole by a 1/32" so the pin fits easier. pin in the vertical part is the pin for the hole without a pin. (https://i.postimg.cc/4dwFRrcr/8.jpg)


this is the tub and the rack both.

 (https://i.postimg.cc/TYBNxjyY/11.jpg)

This is the front carrier. going to replace the factory bracket with one that I will build. it will move the carrier closer and raise it level with the front rack when done. By doing this I could put the plow on under the carrier and have room to raise and lower the plow.

(https://i.postimg.cc/ZY7D7z4N/9.jpg)

this is the whole machine with the carrier in front. only will set up like this when running my XL6000T Garage Hub House. Will be able to drive the wheeler inside the hub and sit on the wheeler and fish.

(https://i.postimg.cc/4NY2j2xS/10.jpg)

this is how I will set it up if I want to fish from the wheeler but still carry a small hub should I want to set up and stay in one place for awhile. Front carrier comes off and the plow goes on.

(https://i.postimg.cc/L8Z7gQd1/1.jpg)


Doing either of these set ups still allows me to pull a sled type house if I want to use one since the rear rack is high enough for a house to clear under it.


also added the following for electronics :


Ram Mount to hold my Ipad which I run Navionics on. off this mount I can attach my phone to the mount too.

(https://i.postimg.cc/LXm07HJt/7.jpg)

Added a FLX 28 to the rear rack in a way that I can sit sideways on the seat and fish off the wheeler but still see the flasher easily.

(https://i.postimg.cc/90n8rZJb/3.jpg)

for safety gear I added a throw bag and will be adding a Nebulus Flotation Pack to the front rack between the auger and the cup holder.

 (https://i.postimg.cc/QCtY80kV/6.jpg)

(https://i.postimg.cc/NfFZBfpb/2.jpg)

Future plans will be to build a rack to hold my Legend XL one man house and a rack to hold my Nanook Thermal two man house.

Can't wait for the season to get here, although I do want to get a little bow hunting in before hitting ice season hard and heavy this year.

I thought I had a lot of stuff but that baby is really tricked out!   Nice job.  A lotta blue right there.

not really that much stuff. the five bucket set up is as follows. bucket with transducer cable going into it is for any fish I would keep to eat. bucket across from it is tip ups. the bucket behind the empty bucket is for rods the middle bucket is my 5lb propane tank and buddy heater the last bucket is for my Vexilar double vision flasher and camera combo. Not shown in the pic is the bracket that mounts to the tub to hold the three buckets in place.

(https://i.postimg.cc/2j2gsBFV/4.jpg)


behind the three buckets I have room for a folding chair and small hub and ice scoops and small bait bucket.

Trial run last season, worked out great. Looking forward to many more trips this year. Mount for auger on front rack, but also has mounts on top of the box to carry the auger when I use it in a sled when on foot, or when the box is mounted to the snowmobile for the deeper snow days.

First Post - First Sled

Here's what I have done so far -

Auger Mount on Front Bumper - I can open the hood about 3/4 of the way, enough if something breaks out on the ice. I'll have to take the mount off if I want to service something. I wanted a 2 up fan, but this was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up.

I've added a tank and saddle bags.

I added a a shovel to the front of the auger carrier as well.

This will be my first season not walking!

Still working on front rack but got the monster box installed last week.  Also got my flip over on forks from the swisher plow attachments. Ability to raise and lower from the winch makes me super mobile. Going to add a tube for my k drill, mount helix 10 for lake mapping, garmin unit for panoptics and add a light bar somehow above the height of the shack when raised. Was thinking something that can telescope up and down. (Any ideas)

Well, hard to follow the "poor man's side by side" tracked Tracker, but here's my new ice machine for this year. Sold our school bus of a crew cab Polaris Ranger. It was a pain to transport. The ATV I'll be able to drop the plow and put it in the bed of the truck in 5 min.

Got the Otter box on last week. Now need to make some adapters for their attachment system so I can put a rod holder and milk crate on one side. Then just need to get some new Rhino Pro Grips for the front rack to carry the auger.
(if you have a need for the Polaris "lock n ride" Rhino Pro Grips, PM me)

I replaced my 2015 Ski-Doo Expedition LE this year with a new 2020 Expedition LE with the G4 chassis.   I used the rack system off of the old machine, with a little modification it went right on.

I took it up to the cabin last weekend to built a new trail, only a few inches of snow and only 5-6" of ice (there is a lot of water flow through that lake), so only crossed the lake with the machine to get to the cabin, did not venture out to fish.  This picture was taken at home yesterday, 8-9" on our lake, will be pulling the permanent shack out in a week or so.

How do you keep your phone or iPad from freezing? When it gets cold, the battery voltage on my iPhone 7 drops and eventually it shuts down. If I warm it up in my pocket and reboot, it comes back on line. Do you have a heater in that iPad case?

Finally got around to building my rear rack and setting the wheeler up for the upcoming ice season (disclaimer : I took the ice fishing stuff off after the pics and put it back into trail riding set up for the rest of the summer)

this is the rack I designed.  If I ever do a second one it would use a 2" square tube on the vertical part instead of a reducer. Left the pin out do to needing to oversize the hole by a 1/32" so the pin fits easier. pin in the vertical part is the pin for the hole without a pin. (https://i.postimg.cc/4dwFRrcr/8.jpg)


this is the tub and the rack both.

 (https://i.postimg.cc/TYBNxjyY/11.jpg)

This is the front carrier. going to replace the factory bracket with one that I will build. it will move the carrier closer and raise it level with the front rack when done. By doing this I could put the plow on under the carrier and have room to raise and lower the plow.

(https://i.postimg.cc/ZY7D7z4N/9.jpg)

this is the whole machine with the carrier in front. only will set up like this when running my XL6000T Garage Hub House. Will be able to drive the wheeler inside the hub and sit on the wheeler and fish.

(https://i.postimg.cc/4NY2j2xS/10.jpg)

this is how I will set it up if I want to fish from the wheeler but still carry a small hub should I want to set up and stay in one place for awhile. Front carrier comes off and the plow goes on.

(https://i.postimg.cc/L8Z7gQd1/1.jpg)


Doing either of these set ups still allows me to pull a sled type house if I want to use one since the rear rack is high enough for a house to clear under it.


also added the following for electronics :


Ram Mount to hold my Ipad which I run Navionics on. off this mount I can attach my phone to the mount too.

(https://i.postimg.cc/LXm07HJt/7.jpg)

Added a FLX 28 to the rear rack in a way that I can sit sideways on the seat and fish off the wheeler but still see the flasher easily.

(https://i.postimg.cc/90n8rZJb/3.jpg)

for safety gear I added a throw bag and will be adding a Nebulus Flotation Pack to the front rack between the auger and the cup holder.

 (https://i.postimg.cc/QCtY80kV/6.jpg)

(https://i.postimg.cc/NfFZBfpb/2.jpg)

Future plans will be to build a rack to hold my Legend XL one man house and a rack to hold my Nanook Thermal two man house.

Can't wait for the season to get here, although I do want to get a little bow hunting in before hitting ice season hard and heavy this year.

Had the I pad out twice now with me and haven't had any issues. nothing is heated for it. only thing heated on my wheeler is the hand grips.

I am building a heated case to see if I can get mine to stay running on my dash. We get fog and blizzards, and it is a 30,000 acre lake, so you can wander a long ways in a whiteout without GPS. I assume Minnesota is plenty cold, that you have given your rig a good test.

My iPhone dies when it gets too cold (I think that is -10F or lower) but I simply keep it in my inside shirt pocket to keep it going.

Works for a phone, not for an iPad though.

Good old-fashioned compass is a good addition to the fishing equipment list.  GPS and other electronic stuff can fail, sometimes at the worst times.  I like electronics, and I use them, don't get me wrong; but I have a compass in the tool kit.

Until I get my heated case test out, I got an ice kit for my Garmin 73SV- it fits perfect on the dash, the windscreen holds it down, and the included battery makes up for the fact that my Tundra has no 12V system.

Just an FYI- I found the reason I had problems with my battery- it was old. The battery would barely last a day in the house, and the battery tab in the settings app said my health was less than 80%. I had a new battery put in for $50 at the apple store, and it works fine now, even on the snowmobile. That is probably why yours works- it is newer than mine, and has a battery in good condition.

Yep it was used to plow a bit but that's about it. I got a heck of a deal on it knowing it needed a little work - dial in the carb, new thermo stat, new electric fan, speedo doesn't work (not fixing that). It included a barely used 60" moose plow too! Got some 5" led lights and mounts coming today. Going to get a winch rope to replace the cable, lithium jumper pack, new battery, rear tires and chains, rear seat/storage before winter. It runs and rides like new!

My main transportation on the lake is my '01 Arctic Cat aka the crapty Kitty. Thing is a beast. Had an unfortunate encounter with glare ice (not studs on the track) a few years ago and despite a few barrel rolls she still fired up first pull. If there's no snow, my main fishing partner has a 550cc quad we will rip.

Bubblers are super prevalent on my favorite lake to fish so i am forced to take the SS Trout out to access my favorite spot. A tad sketchy but haven't had any issues yet  :roflmao:

Yes, easy on and off.  This box is the "medium" sized box.  I think the larger box drops lower behind the rear rack.  That option would of blocked my rear taillights and brake lights. 

I don't know if they make a smaller box.

Just picked up another machine, still have the sled but very little snow around here the last few years so the SXS will be much more universal. Only had it out setting and checking trail cams and plowing a bit of snow so far, but planning a walleye trip later where I will be taking this. Got some holders, racks, etc. ordered for it, should be in next week.

I got mine off Amazon
Guide Gear ATV Cargo Carrier, 300 lb. Capacity

I got the idea from Bart on here so he gets the credit but it works awesome. I’ve since quit hauling it in my truck I use my trailer now. I just didn’t like driving that thing up the ramps anymore LOL

You might have solved my problem! I've been trying to figure out a way to haul my ATV and flip over without pulling a trailer. How did it transport with that cargo carrier on the back? Any issues with long distances or rough back-roads?

No problems at all Junkie I drove up into Wisconsin like that a bunch of times. Now going off road you gotta take easy probably but with my monster box I never have to put anything in my sled when I got it on there and they’re rated for over 150# so just be sensible and you’ll be fine.

I have the Harbor Freight cargo carrier.  I think its $50. I have some pink foam board on the bottom to block the snow from the tires.  You can strap 3 milk crates across it.  I used zip strips to make it more permanent than bungee cords.  And some reflectix on the front of the crates for the same reason.  It's nice to keep the racks free for another person.   2018 Arctic Cat / Textron Alterra 500 and a Clam Nanook fish house.

I'm planning to use this when we get more ice. Sold the snowmobiles due to lack of snow and can't afford an atv. Got to look into the details for using it. I'm disabled with walking issues. All documented. The ADA act recognizes carts as a form of transportation the same as a power chair, scooter, Segway, etc. They are labeled- Other power driven personal mobility device.
Don't think helmets are required on a cart.  Also have to find out if I can unload and access the ice at a place like Silver Lake State park which supposedly bans atv' from launching there.

Traction shouldn't be a problem under the right conditions.

Do you mind if I ask which rack that is on the back of that wheeler? Pretty slick

Forgot to mention I also added an extender to my receiver so I had enough space between my Monster Box and the back of the rack for either of my shacks.

Although having posted this ride previously, I've just recently mounted my Garmin EchoMAP CHIRP 53dv securely to the handlebar riser. Can now run-and-gun quite a bit more efficiently, no longer requiring my ice shuttle backpack.

Its a Digger Auger Carrier.  Pretty easy install.  Needed to rig up a wider shim/plate underneath it so the hardware could attach to the stock rack behind the seat but a 1/2"thick  piece of scrap Cherry with some stain and a couple of coats of spar varnish worked nicely.  Rock solid setup but had to use caution through the trees with the extra width.

Honestly I prefer the yellow to the white but its all they had when I purchased it.  I'd be anxious to see how you trick yours out. Might give me some more ideas.  PM Me if ya get really creative.  ;D

Just found the sled I have been looking for: 2009 Ski-Doo Tundra 300f. Like the 1999 it replaces, it is simple, light, and smaller than modern sleds. Unlike the 1999, it has E-start, grip heaters, reverse, and an aluminum tunnel. Hauled it 1400 miles home, now to set it up to haul my gear and find those little neglected items that need addressed before the season.

I was looking at Kijiji- getting one out of Canada, but you can't go there yet- even for something as important as a snowmobile in June!

The guy I got mine from had 3 of them, all from Minnesota DNR, speckled with tree marking paint, and all about 1000 miles. T&T Sports and Lawn- in Rush City, MN.

I'll be headed up I35 in a couple of weeks on the way back to Sconnie for a week at the Sister's cottage.  If I needed another sled I'd really consider dragging my trailer and taking a detour to the north.  Looks like he has one left.

Hi Friends -

I have a nice 4 wheeler for ice fishing when the snow isn't too deep.  However, snow has been very deep the past couple years and I think it's time to invest in a snowmobile for ice fishing and just bombing around the lake.  I highly doubt I'll do any or much trail riding.  I'd like to keep the budget less than 5K (prefer $2500)?  What am I looking for?  Appreciate it.  ps. I've never owned a snowmobile before so all feedback is really appreciated.

A 5K budget would buy the first 4 snowmobiles I have owned. I picked up 2 sleds and a trailer for $1500- old Yamahas from the 80s- the guy had them as loaners for company, and took good care of them. I got 3 years out of them, just a little maintenance, and sold them for what I paid. That is my first suggestion: You care as much about the guy you buy from as the make and model. Since 5K means used, and you really don't care about advanced suspension or horsepower, you are looking for a guy that cares for his stuff. Granted, those guys don't sell every 2 years to get the newest color sled, but they will be as reliable as new, maybe better.

Second: Simple is better. It is getting tough to buy a basic sled, but they cost less to maintain and are more reliable. I stick to air cooled 2 strokes. Newer sleds can produce more power, but that means water cooling, and a radiator, water pump, ... Those old 550 air cooled engines keep plugging. I went so far as to drive halfway across the country to get an air cooled single cylinder sled for $5k, and they have not made those in over 10 years.

Third: I think you want to figure out how to get a rack or a box on the back. Utility sleds make this easy, but touring sleds sometimes also have something you can adapt. Pulling sleds is OK, but it beats up your gear, and slows down your speed. If there is slush, the drag of a sled can be the difference between getting stuck and not. The sled also fills up with slush and snow, and can be a mess at the end of the day.

As far as brands, I have had Ski-Doo and Yamaha- I think Yamaha builds a better machine for longevity- but they are being edged out of the market bit by bit, so there are not plentiful. I sold an old Phazer that never failed me for $400. I always thought a VK540 would be a great machine- it is one of the few still made with a 2 stroke air cooled engine, wide track, low range, and a big rack, but they are scarce, and people keep them forever. Near me, Polaris is popular, but I have never owned one.

Good luck in your search- you can get a good enough machine for a few hundred if you find the right guy- Wisconsin has not had a lot of snow lately, so there may be someone thinking about giving up a lightly used sled. Get searches going on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, and keep an eye out as you are driving around. I would also make an ISO post on the Wisconsin ice shanty group- someone might know someone.
