Can somebody identify this?
« on: Jan 03, 2016, 10:53 AM »


Has anyone seen one of these sled power units in use and do you know who makes them, etc?  Looks like it may be called a Snowmotion or something similar but so far that hasn't led me anywhere.

An IS member "metalbender" built one. You may want to send him a PM.

Electric, light, could use it in the fall to drag a deer out on a woods road.. I'd move wood from my she'd to the porch with it..

Reg and insurance I can see. That'd save a good amount of money in ny. Weight...I don't think it's by much

wouldn't take the whole box of the truck up or need a trailer.plus no bustin yer balls trying to get  a snowmobile back in the truck at the end of a long day.i want one.the mtt-136 looks perfect but maybe a snow  fender on it so it doesn't kick snow all over  your gear.

i had the same question Ice Scratcher. looks like a nice rig. at my age, it would be sweet to have one. it's a long pull  to the fishing spot.
