Best Option Winter/Summer

Bad morning. got stuck trying to get on to the lake. No plowed acess. But is a 4 wheeler with tracks and a V plow the best option. for clearing a spot for your fishhouse cleaning the driveway, I'm in town so its not that big a deal. Maybe clearing a acess enough to get off and on the lake. Then in the summer you have tires obviously to go muddin or play around. Will tracks on a 4 wheeler pull a 8 X 16 house? Early Ice.

It might do it. Dpending on the weight of the house and the depth of the snow.

Early ice you might be ok. The biggest concern I would have is the tongue weight of the trailer. There are ways around this. But I wouldn't load the hitch too heavily on your wheeler. Personally I'd say nothing over what the mfgr's recommend which is 35 lbs in most cases. More for a UTV.

There are ways around this too. My brother in law has a 2 wheel dollie that hooks onto the wheeler and takes up the entire load of the hitch. Don't remember what it's called.

I pull a 7x12 all over the lake with my grizzly with no chains when there is up to about 4" of snow so I would say a 8x16 would pull a little harder but with a set of chains you would be fine. A v-plow would be awsome but they are pretty hard to come by for an atv.

And expensive.

The one I was looking at was power V adjust and would take you for 3 grand. Not exactly pocket change IMO. There isn't an ATV out there that could run a winch and 2 other electric motors to change the V configuration without draining the battery to the point of being inoperable.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
