Gee, wish we had that forecast....
I'd guess you know that manufactured do make utility sleds with lower PSI. Here's one I'm trying to test run. No interest in it, but would be fun to test operate. We switched to atv's/utv's with pod kits.My first sled was a 72 Snowjet SST. It was the fastest sled of its time. It had a temperamental Yamaha 440 free air engine. So small and light compared to today’s machines, but also slow compared to today’s machines
My current Skidoo has 120 hp, and plenty fast, but is useless off packed snow. It’ll get stuck in a foot of powder. One time right in my driveway. I used the tractor to get it back in the garage.
I fully admit to people now, it’s not a snowmobile… it’s a groomed trail-mobile
I can recall when the Snow Jets came out, we had a neighbor that became a dealer for them. He actually ended up doing quite well with them, stayed in business and ended up a Yamaha dealer and his son took over until Yamaha in it's infinite wisdom said he had to sell motorcycles as well couldn't just be snowmobiles and atv's but had to be a full line dealer, that was the end of that.My first sled was a 72 Snowjet SST.
