Using a lawn tractor?

[ZEEK1223]

there is a guy that lives on my favorite panny lake. He pulls his old-school plywood tarp style fish house out with his lawn mower every time im out there. I have a 1975 kawasaki trail bike. Early ice I stud the tires with sheet metal screws, and pull my sled out to my fish house. Call me a redneck, but a 1.5 mile walk gets old after a while.

I see a guy on Owasso pull his gear out on the ice with his Snow blower. takes him a while to get out there though..

As long as you are not in deeper snow than 2 inchs than run stud the front tires and backs and let ur buck!!!

I would if I was you, it sure beats pulling it

i have used my mower a couple of times during early ice when there was not enough snow to run my sled. sure do get some looks when driving past people that walked out. works great when theres no snow on the ice.

I have done this with an 11hp mower and my perm. clear ice you need to stud the front tires are you can not turn at all. Hard pack snow with chains on works great, Slush just don't do it. And I'm sure every mower will work different in the snow but I have not had any real issues up to 3". And for sure remove the deck. I had bolt on wheel weights but they did not seam to make it work any better so I took them off. It sure is better then walking and my mower goes way faster they I can walk. And one last thing letting a little air pressure out of the back tires seemed to help a little just be care full not to much or you can crack the bead in the cold. Looks funny but like said before use what you got.
