What does everyone find is the best ski setup on their shacks for easy pulling?

mainemark · « **Reply #8 on:** Jan 25, 2009, 07:07 PM »

the reason i bought the scandic was for the low range, i can poke along and dont have to break stuff.

2x12 blocked up.. then put on to give more clearance.. makes the step to get in a little high but o-well..

That Alpine is the coolest sled I have ever seen in my life. It sucks that they are impossible to find in one piece today. They look like they could pull a house clean off its foundation.

Hey mark,Its not a sled but with chains on it not much will stop it.best wheeler i ever owned.

mainemark · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 25, 2009, 07:26 PM »

there quite a few alpines around here. Its just that they are old,and are a pain to keep runnin. My neighbor has a 640,and that sucker has some pulling power!

i like your shack!! how much does it wiegh?? and what did you use for building materials??

bogmanjr · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 25, 2009, 07:36 PM »

that's what you get when you have 3 boys ages 10-14&15 and a few unattended hand tools!!! Icould fill a 10 wheel dump with inventions that didn't work out the way they planned. better than video games i think though.

mainemark · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 25, 2009, 07:40 PM »

I here ya, i got a 15 and a 8 year old, both boys. They make some of the worst contraptions out in the wood shed. I dont think there destined to become engineers

bogmanjr · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 25, 2009, 07:51 PM »

Not sure on the weight but 3 guys could lift it without too much trouble.as long ya wer'nt carrying it too far.floor is 2x6 framed, used 3/4 plywood on the floor,and 2x3 for the walls and rafters.1/4 inch sheathing (had to buy that) and a few old storm windows from a dumpster.think i have about $75 in the thing its all rough sawn pine left over from the camp.one of my boys is in welding in voc/tech high school so he made a wood stove. used 4x6 for skids and i drag it all over pickeralville usually full of gear,momma and her friends if its cold out.
