Snowmobile -or- Snowmachine?

[PERCHJR]

She's my girl, but I call it a sled!!!

2005 M7 153"

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD FISHING!!!

Shouldn't you call it a mountain climber!!!!

Nice Ride!

Anybody look at you weird with an auger and fish house strapped to the back??

(That M7 has the direct drive doesn't it?? What do you think?)

firecat is the best all around SLED.

knoppers-

I cannot find any reason to argue with you at all.

I AM biased to the sleds that come from TRF but I have to agree, Cat knows what they are doing.

Am I allowed to argue that it took Polaris, Ski-Doo, and Yamaha 13 years to adapt to the double A-arm front suspension that Cat has had since '91.

By the way, who else has batteryless EFI right now??????????

Actually the FIRST snow machines were air-prop driven if I remember correctly. I saw that doc years ago and they showed enclosed rigs that would ride 2-4 people and had a big pusher prop on the tail. US Mail used them for delivery on the big bays way back when.

BW, the old Excel III is running like a top as of late. PS, nice new truck you got there!

[PERCHJR]

Yeah I guess you could call it that not real sure, I am heading out to Yellowstone next week so hopefully she will climb like crazy!!! I have been talking smack about it to my Polaris buddies so I hope I can back it up!!! I have about 80 miles on it is all, and I am impressed with the gear drive so far, it is a little noisy but it doesn't bother that much because I put a pipe on it already so I can't really hear much!!!

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD FISHING!!!

Hanson, you are allowed to argue that, but how long did it take Artic Cat to figure out how to make an engine without it blowing up? Or are they still thinking about that one.

I am a little late to notice this post, but here is my input. I have lived in Eveleth all my life except for one year in Duluth. I must be on that borderline of how you say things that someone one talking about. I call mine a snowmobile, a snowmachine, and a sled. This snowcat and skidoo for all types of sleds is something new to me. When I say it as an action word though, it is snowmobiling or riding, nothing else.

When I was a single man and was about to go out on the town looking for female companionship my buddies and I would say we were going "Cat'n" Kinda makes me giggle to hear someone say they are going "snowcat'n" I think now I just call it a sled but all my buddies and I used to call them

Mustard Buckets

Polar Pigs

Arcticcrap

Yamaha ha ha or just ha ha ha

[hanson]

You forgot Ditch Pickle!

[Walterwontfalter]

Ha ha! I've never heard Ditch Pickle before! Being a die-hard Polar-pig man I love the thought of chewing up a pickle slathered in mustard and laughing ha ha ha all the way home.

Did anyone catch the episode of Modern Marvles on the History channel last night? I only caught the info on the show. It was about many things including "snowmoibles and snow cats".

I lived in the Iron Range for many years and we always called them snow machines. It doesn't matter what ya call em' as long as they fly.......
