most of the guys run Arctic Cats.

550 is going to ask for power when loaded. My pick would be Polaris wide track with the big motor.

SkiDoo, Arctic Cat and Polaris all make good long tracks for Ice fishing setups. I would go with a fan and you may want to pick one with a dealer around you for parts and service.

I have been running a Skandic wide track 550 fan on Simcoe the last three seasons it's a tank go anywhere pull anything machine . I have been more than happy with it . I will dig out some pics and try to post them.

I have a lot of seat and wrench time on the 550-SWT while working at a ski hill. That engine is bomber. One of the best fan cooled engines ever developed in my opinion, second only to the 503. In low gear with a studded track it will pull stuck cars out of a snowy parking lot. They are a tank, need the rear suspension tuned for the towed load in order to turn well. An atv winch mounted on the rear is nice, a high lift jack is handy too.

Most of my repair time on them was fixing stupid...
