Ok boys, what am I getting into going on this trip? I don't have a sled but I have a four wheeler. Honda foreman 400 with the big foot kit, winch 4x4, and big ITP knobby tires. Will that be ok or should I bring the studded boots and the pull sled?
people have the tendancy to go a little nuts when doing studs, using like 144 or whatever.....thats great if you are racing or doing snowcross.for fishing, having a little slip in the track on ice helps you steer the sled, it also helps on the days when you are trying to use a little body english. I reccomend no more than 90ish.....in fact, i forget what is avail in the 70s for patterns, but i suspect that you would be happy there too.they will really help on hills like you were saying, and on days of glare ice, help then a lot too.
just be nice to the bear!
I would with the 72 stud pattern all in the middle of the track. Outside ones tend to rip out easier. The less you have the easier they rip out when the track spins trying to go up that big hill. Too many and you wont be able to steer and are not needed for your application.
thats why you run carbides so you have control of the front and rear
