I built this it has a stiff tow hitch in the front carries an extra guy mush style and all your gear I had an old truck box i used has a built in light ,live well ,Murphy fold down cook table ,carries my brother he's 245
I purchased a snowmobile for ice fishing and i was wondering what people preferred to haul their gear in. I have a jet sled but that doesn't do the best at hauling people. The question i have is whether people have their sleds towed from behind their machine or whether they use a the same idea behind a hitch and trailer. I guess i don't know which works better, having all the weight on the snow and the sled has to overcome a lot of friction to get the sled moving or having the "tongue" of the sled rigidly attached to the back of the machine so it acts more like a trailer than a skid. What have people experienced works best?thanks!
but I do know that if you want to tow people, you need a rigid hitch.
When I am carrying a lot of gear or additional people (kids) I will use this setup...Somebody can stand on the back of the sleigh. Can sit inside but will get snow kicked up on you I got this one from Cabelas right after they opened in Scarborough. Don't think they sell them anymore though. Can find them online if you look around. Not that expensive...about the same as a large jet sled.
Ice grizz nice sled ,I betcha that Eskimo auger runs like a top how old is that?
