2024年2月16日 · I built this one specifically for ice fishing. The benefit of a machine like this vs a snowmobile or atv is that it is lightweight (less than 250 pounds) and doesn't require a trailer. I have a 3" lift on my Ram 1500 and this thing still crawls right up an atv ramp into the bed. I also have a hitch hauler for it.

The ski resort here has a giant Snow Cat machine that would probably do fine in that slush but it probably weighs 10,000 or more pounds and would want way more than the 8 inches of ice we had when the slush occurred. Some days you just can’t even fish let alone go out with a machine.

2018年9月15日 · Towing a train of 3,4 or 5 sleds is not a big issue for the dog once you are on flat lake surfaces. Some snow cover on the ice is certainly way better than no snow and glare ice. Towing a heavy train up a steep ramp all depends on how much traction you have under the dogs track. My ramps here are just lose stone and don’t offer much traction.

2017年7月20日 · way back in the 60's when snow machines were new there was a real version of the snow dog..they were called huskies back then. had a friend almost freeze to death on one when he was on a trapline .he drove over a blow down tree and after the track went over the tree it sprug up and pinned his legs to the sled

2022年12月29日 · Im thinking it was a good idea but has a lot of issues and too work them out you would be getting into a lot of money and then just as well get a snow machine. Re: Snowdog Track Machine [ Re: snowy ] #7757171

2019年1月3日 · So a used 2 up snowmobile sounded like it might be the answer and I could get a decent one for the price of the Snow Dog and added sleds. But as you point out Gary the Snow Dog does have certain attributes a sled does not. Lots to ponder this off season! Just a couple things to take into consideration.

2021年11月28日 · Picked up a snowdog to try this season. I need to get it setup still. I would like to be able to have my auger on it and my Helix 7.

2022年12月29日 · I don't need to have a machine that travel 50 plus miles an hour just needs to get in and out and round at ranch checking on things. For trapping and ice fishing and hunting it would be easier to handle etc. Nice and small for storage in off season and be easy to work on not like a snow machine. That would be some of my reasons.

2023年2月19日 · A small pickup with a 5 foot bed will fit and be able to close end gate only 2 feet wide. Easiest of any track machine or atvs to load that we have ever had. No trailers to lug around or pickup loading and storage/carrying accessories to have. Yeah, you go a lot of places that a snow machine can't because of the weight and the skies.
