Snowmobile vs. ATV

[fishing tech]

1 thing you NEED to remember with a sled is when you run through slush and stop to fish for the day or evening is that your track might freeze and you could end up chopping ice from your track. I have both but 95% of the time I use the ATV. I start it and let it run until I find fish. With the sled if you let it run while drilling and cleaning holes she may get hot. I have snowmobiled at -40. They pull over hard but man do they run great when they fire up. Go with what you can afford, you can always up grade.

C63,

Right on!!! Sleds will kick butt in the snow!!!

:-), you see where this is going, you say "If and when we have a "normal" minnesota winter again the sleders will be leaving you atvers behind........that goes for anywhere (n,s,e,w)in all of minnesota!!!!!!!!!!!"

That is so true!!!

But!!! Snowmobiles are made for snow, and preform "exceptionally" well. Wheelers run well in most conditions, best in dry to light/wet mud/snow.

I keep going back to your statment, "If and when we have a "normal" minnesota winter again the sleders will be leaving you atvers behind"....

I still would take a "FOUR" season machine with less performance in the "heavy" snow, verses a machine that can only be used 3-4 months of the year (I have a sled & a quad).

No offense to snogoers, but this was a atv vs sled.

I run road ditches in my area in the spring to clean up trash, towing a atv trailer (around 40 miles of road ditch). I usually collect about 5, 95 gallon refuse containers (at my expense).

In the spring when the snow melts, (trash is REAL visable) I would like to invite any atv AND SMOWMOBILES to help lend a hand. Not just in my area, but any ditches, lakes and streams. I encourage any/everyone to help clean up after the people who don't respect the outdoors.

In the spring, in the yard, I use the quad to launch the boat down the hill, If I could use your snowmobile give me a call. It would save wear and tear on my machine .

All in fun,

Brandt
