Sounds like a good plan for ice fishing use. I look forward to a write up on your experience with them. I have a friend who runs tracks on one of his Rangers. They are great in the snow and ice, but it can be a handful to steer in anything else.
1 reason. Because he can.i dont see 1 reason to spend $5000 for tracks when you can buy a used snowmobile in good shape for $2000 and go in deeper snow, faster, and pull more ........... just saying
Because some of us used to snowmobile but can't anymore due to age, health, injuries, ect.......... Snowmobiling is a young mans sport, especially the newer longer track machines. They take allot of work to ride and there are allot of people that just can't throw them around anymore.i dont see 1 reason to spend $5000 for tracks when you can buy a used snowmobile in good shape for $2000 and go in deeper snow, faster, and pull more ........... just saying
I'm actually in both categories you've listed with your sage like wisdom.Because some of us used to snowmobile but can't anymore due to age, health, injuries, ect..........
Also the people with smaller kids or small girls that can't throw around a sled either but still want to go into the mountains in the winter.
That's why![]()
I've driven a Ranger 900. With no EPS with tracks, they are a thing of beauty in the snow or ice. Not any harder than a set of stock tires. Personally, I think the Pioneer has much easier to turn steering geometry than the ranger.ok ......you try to steer that pioneer without power steering with them tracks ....(im betting if that sled gives you a problem the pioneer will be 3x as hard to go site seeing in the mountains)
Oh there is a lot of reasons..... Honda don't make snowmobiles, needs a full cab and heater, his whole family may want to go. he'd have to get a trailer for his snowmobile..... ummmm, there is more, I just can't think of all them right now .i dont see 1 reason to spend $5000 for tracks when you can buy a used snowmobile in good shape for $2000 and go in deeper snow, faster, and pull more ........... just saying
Build a fold out ice fishing tent for the back. So you can just lay in the bed with the heat going and your poles in. We will have to reroute the exhaust a little bit....Oh there is a lot of reasons.....
