i want a 4 stroke sled

This is a great topic for conversation. I am also currently in the market for a four stroke sled. Through a lot of research about all the brands out there, I have settled on one of the Arctic Cat T660 two-up models. These machines appear to be quite reliable and very good on gas. I also like all of the bells and whistles that are available on them. Most of my riding in the past has been more on the performance side of things as my last sled was an RMK 700. Now I am ready for a machine that is more quiet, reliable, good on gas, and is comfy for a passenger.

Wondering though if anyone has been able to compare a turbo model T660 to a non turbo version? Most of my riding will be done on trails but I will want to be able to break trail on occasion to get to some fishing spots. Curious how these non turbo T660 sleds would handle these conditions??

Keep all the good input coming.

Tullibee, If you are coming from a 700 RMK you will be looking at a significant power loss with the non-turbo......130hp down to the low 50hp range. You should still be able to get to most places but I think you might be more satisfied all around with the turbo. I do know a guide put quite a few miles on a non turbo 660 and he absolutely loves it. The mileage on it is incredible - low 20's all the time.

SledNeck,

I agree and I have been looking at all the brands that make 4-strokers and I feel like with the T660 I get the most bang for my buck. I want a sled in a touring model that is comfy for a passenger and if it were not for this reason I would get a Yamaha or a Ski-doo for sure (probably the 600 Etec actually). I would be interested in a touring model by other manufacturers sleds also if they were priced lower and more readily available right now. I shouldn't say right now because I am in no hurry to buy so maybe I will find a great deal on a different sled.

I read a comparison of 4-strokes and although it was smaller than everything else in the comparison, the Poalris 750 Turbo faired well, but I haven't seen any mention of it here. I've been out of snowmobiles for quite a few years and only recently became interested again.

I do know the Polaris was towards the top in price, but hp number were respectable even though it's only a 750.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
