Am i the only one who is thinking of trading in my doo for a nice 4x4 4wheeler ? At least you can ride it even when it snows or not. here the weather is 5'c and rain rain rain ! perfect to go offroading but a bit hard on my track ! so if this winter dosent get any better im switching !
don't give up the sleds I have both and riding a 4 wheeler in the snow ( while it is sort or fun) It is nowhere near the feeling you get when you bar the throtle on the sled. weeeeee!!
and if you think snowmobile trails are hard to find wait until you try to find an atv trail.
I already have one, 1999 Polaris 500 sportsman, 4 stroke. Oh my god a FOUR STROKE!!! ...LOL. Its alot of fun in the mud and I use it alot for hunting but it's kind of a pooch.
A 4 wheeler would be cool,but I will never give up sledding.In spring,summer and fall I hit the lakes with the Ranger.That keeps me busy.With no snow,the 4 wheeler idea sounds good.I've been on some and its nowhere near as fun as the sled.
How could you ever trade a sled for a 4 wheeler. I cant believe some of you die hard sledders out there. We have to stick this crappy snow conditions out together
Hey with the lack of snow in my area the last four years I would give up the sled for an atv in a heartbeat.I really hate making payments on something that sits in the garage,not getting used for 11 1/2 monthes out of the year.
i would get a 4-wheeler in a heartbeat if they had an established trail system but you cannot go places on a 4-wheeler like you can on a snowmobile because we have established snowmobile trails
danny,
how could you ? slap slap and slap. i have had them all, not because of my brains but my uncle sold snowmobiles, motorcycles and everything else related to similar sport. he even had me on racing teams when i was 11. but all those things are moderate fun and do not give you the major rush that a sled gives you.
Just wait. I have a 4 wheeler and everytime i ride it i just say "This sucks." Its nothing to snowmobiling.
This winter still may turn around. It only takes one storm. One day you may wake up with 2 feet outside the door and you will forget all about this grass cutting crap we are all experincing.
ps. Its strange how almost everyone has no snow this year. Some people get it but lose it. Everyone is just dying to get out. Its so bad that if it snows in your area within 20 min theres 600 machines riding back and forth.
Those 4 wheelers are for the birds!!!! They are boring to ride and they can even come close to the performance you can get out of a sled!!!!
I will keep my sled and hope for better winters to come!!!
You can never get bored of sledding and where you are able to go with them. There are way to many restrictions to 4 wheelers and they tear up the trails where as the sleds just uses good ole mother natures snow!!!
This opens my eyes to something. I expected many more snowmobilers to own quads also. I'm gonna start another post and ask what snowmobiliers other toys are. I really want a quad for the summer and fall, but I chose to buy a sportbike instead thinking that I would use it more. My sportbike is as close as you can get to the rush and acceleration of a snowmobile.
wow i didnt expect so many replys! OK OK OK i gonna keep the sled it was just out of frustration but i do admit that nothing comes close to the adrenaline rush you get out of a snowmobile. But a quad for the summer would be cool also !
So what do you guys do to stop thinking of NO SNOW
Hello everyone, I recently bought a 2015 polaris indy 550. I want your guys opinions on these sleds. I’ve heard the ones with the edge chassis were unreliable but I think the newer ones are more reliable correct?
We tried the group meeting last year and nobody showed but the breakfast was a hit. Anyone up for meeting again this year before the chaos begins? I will probably be coming up with Mark and Dave and going to Big Boy before we get there so if anyone wants to join us here is your invite.

I have a 2002 MXZ 700 RER Sport with Boysen reeds and MBRP can. I ride in temps from the teens to low 30”s too me it seems like it runs rich. What is my stock jetting and should the jetting be changed for the kids? If so to what?
I am sure the Thundercat is one....but what else is a fast sled.
I have a v-max 4, and now want something faster.
Please tell me what years to keep an eye out for also.
Thanks.
It wasn’t long ago that we were at the Wawa Motor Inn, just north of Sault Ste. Marie, sitting in front of a warm fire after a day of boondocking in Northern Ontario backcountry. Read More >>
