Anyone have or familiar with the original 2006 version of the SnoBear? Great machine?

Myrt. Give me a call any evening @ 2186894736. I can help explain the pro's and cons and answer any questions you may have on the Snobear. I do not work for and have no affiliation with them however I have worked on many of them and I currently own my second customized rig which is a 2010.....Jim.

I believe they went to boggie wheels on the newer ones as slides were a problem on the older ones

WH. The older machines had bogey wheels as well. The new ones have about twice as many however. Your right, the changes were made in order to combat Hi-fax wear and sticking. In certain particular conditions such as late ice and early ice when there can be lack of snow on the ice there was a problem with the Hi-fax getting hot and ultimately sticking the track clips due to lack of lubrication. Same type of thing that happens on a snowmobile just on a larger scale. There are around 24 bogeys per side currently that do a good job of keeping the track clips from sticking to the slides in low lube situations.
