Ice Fishing Gear - FatBiker - 02-11-2019 This looks interesting. https://youtu.be/EaDE0RiEgdc [signature] Re: [FatBiker] Ice Fishing Gear - 6x7 - 02-11-2019 Just got mine. Love it!! No registration/insurance. Transport easily, easy to move alone. List goes on. Saw one at the Gorge two weeks ago too. He said the same. Re: [FatBiker] Ice Fishing Gear - WingNutt - 02-11-2019 Looks fun [signature] Re: [6x7] Ice Fishing Gear - liv2hunt - 02-12-2019 Has anyone ran one of these in 12" plus powder? If so how do they handle deep snow? Pretty dang cool machine! Looks very interesting. [signature] Re: [6x7] Ice Fishing Gear - Bowfin - 02-12-2019 I’ll second what 6x7 reported and add to his list. I got mine last summer and have been running it at Cascade. I’m still on a learning curve with operation, but it has handled snow, slush and glare ice. It’s compact and takes up much less space than a snowmobile or wheeler. It’s been great. As far as I know, there’s one dealer in SLC. [signature] Re: [liv2hunt] Ice Fishing Gear - JayWeymouth - 02-12-2019 I bought one in 2017. Make sure you get the reverse option! Buy the larger model also. People who have bought the “Compact”, said they should have bought the larger model. I have had mine going thru snow that covered the top of the engine. For my Tacoma, I bought a 500lb. weight limit aluminum hitch hauler trailer that tilts and has a ramp. You do not need the ramp because the trailer tilts. It is the perfect fit for the Snowdog. I put the sled over the top of the Dog and it protects the Dog when traveling. I hatchet strap it down to my truck. I fish by myself most of the time and I can handle loading and unloading easily. Takes some time to handle TURNS in snow! It will turn over on its side and will shut off automatically. I also put “ice studs” in the track. BIG difference on ice. Do not use snowmobile studs!! I have the brand that I use. Anyone who buys one, we should stay connected to help each other out. There is a new dealer in SLC. I have location. I bought from a dealer in Michigan. That was the closest dealer! I have talked to a lot of the dealers(most know very little) about questions on the machine.

[signature] Re: [REPETER] Ice Fishing Gear - travismadden - 02-12-2019 We do not rent them at this time no. [signature] Re: [travismadden] Ice Fishing Gear - REPETER - 02-12-2019 Bummer! Let me know if that changes [signature] Re: [REPETER] Ice Fishing Gear - WingNutt - 02-14-2019 [quote REPETER]Bummer! Let me know if that changes [/quote] Ditto, I would be interested in renting and trying it out as well [signature] Re: [REPETER] Ice Fishing Gear - wiperhunter2 - 02-14-2019 There is a used one for sale on the For Sale board, maybe you can talk him into taking it out on a test run. [signature] Re: [wiperhunter2] Ice Fishing Gear - Therapist - 02-15-2019 Adam Ekael has been using one on the KSL Outdoors show. looks very interesting.
