Looking for a little info

I am thinking about buying a snomobile before next winter. I want a large utiity type sled, one with wide track, hi/low range and reverse. Will be used for fishing. Don't care about speed just enough power to get me, my portable and gear to and from the ice.
Any suggestions? Thanks Ol'Sneller

Arctic Cat Bearcat w/at least the 440 motor-pulls like a tank and very basic set-up they all have a long track and two up seat w/rack-for serious hauling it is the only way to go. I have had three grown men and three portable fish houses behind it at once-didn't look pretty but pulled it like it was nothing.

Without a doubt, a Skidoo Skandic SWT (Super Wide Track) will fit the bill. It has all the power you will need and more track (24" wide)than any other. The big skis and wide track float over deep snow. Even though it is a big muscle sled, the ride is exceptional. There is a whole line of Skandics to choose from but from my experience the SWT will out perform anything.

Well I tell you what.. My buddy just got a new sled just for this reason.. He got that new Arctic Cat 4 stroke. This machine is the ultimate work sled and still is a great ride on trails. The gas mileage is unreal.

I am a Skidoo man myslef but I needed a sled and got over my want to hit the drifts and play hard, this would be my choice. You can drive all day on a tank of gas and the power is great and its quiet.

Good shopping.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
