Big Lakers at White Otter
Our annual lake trout ice fishing trip this year at Brown’s Clearwater Lodge. We put a few nice lakers on the ice then took the sleds on a ride to the White Otter Castle on the north shore of White Otter Lake.

Skidoo Tundra. Is it the right sled?
zhlédnutí 39KPřed 2 lety
Why buy a Tundra? I’ve owned several models of snowmobile over the years. Today’s new models are built more specialty purpose than ever. Here’s my 2 cents on the Tundra, it somewhat tippy disposition and what I use this multipurpose machine for.
Snapper!

Snapping turtle in June looking to maybe lay eggs in the bed of a bush road. She slipped into the weeds on the lake edge shortly after my visit.

Splitting some jackpine with a new 28” FISKARS X25 axe. We loaded into a Pelican Sport Trek 75 cargo sleigh that’s pinned up to Tundra 550 skidoo.
Yamaha 20hp outboard motor

Reviewing a 2017 Yamaha 20 hp outboard motor. After 15 years of running a fussy 18 Merc 2 stroke I picked up a new 4 stroke 20 Yamaha. Also worth noting - CHANGE OIL after initial 10 hour break in. Mine was not pretty when we changed it. Also - a major downfall in the Suzuki is the location of the oil filter. Yamaha is a fairly straight forward oil change. Filter easy to access as is oil drain.
How do you tilt this thing manually? Struggling to find the tilt lock lever.
Black tab front of the motor. Push it down to click then lift.
my pop was the first around where i live to get one i think its cool
How do u mount it ? I guess withbat least 2 guys?😅
I had a new Tundra a couple years back. Machine was tippy as hell. It sure seemed like it was trying to kill me. I acknowledge that at 70 I’m not as agile as I used to be. I got rid of the Tundra and bought tracks for my Honda Pioneer but had I chose to keep the Tundra, I’d have added the ski widening kit. Everything is a compromise.
Thank you. I live in the bush and was looking to buy a Tundra for my kennel helper. I think I'll stick with the Skandic.
Tundra was designed to break trail in tight forests.
Ski skins and quali ski wideners unreal difference on the tippiness
Thinkisng of a 2023 tundra, still tippy ?
Yes, the performance of the tundra would still be more tippy than an Expedition etc, it has not changed - but you get other benefits to the narrow ski stance like floatation and maneuverability in tight situations.
@@granteditslifeoutdoors.9194 thanks for the reply, I’m deciding from that and the skandic for ice fishing, I will have a two up, does that make a big difference
@@taylord9772 I’d go with the Expedition unless you have more utilitarian need for a Skandic.
Lt tundra has rad and fan
Same.. my 2022 tundra Lt is tippy as hell,,, but its awesome in the deep snow,, really gotta move ur body weight around while hitting a corner/turn
Those sleds are awesome they go anywhere you want them to I tried to find one but could I like how it's not wide and can fit pretty much think bushels
Yeah, the new four-stroke motors are way better than the old two-stroke designs.
Un bel motore
Sangat keren...mantap buat mancing..
Duh.
I bought a 2022 600 EFI LT, so far I am impressed with its tight turning and handling. But I did get an old lesson on an uphill turn in soft snow , forgot to weight uphill. Laid it on the side , put it in reverse and walked it out. Still in the break in phase.
Same,,, haha same sled and same thing happened to me,, hahaha going up hill with a turn.
If you know how to ride it being tippy can be a good thing.. What do you expect from a 32 inch ski stance.
Really nice what can we see it breaking trail you have no snow any machine will perform nicely and what you’re driving in
It hauls good loads like with the big boggin
I take my tundra xtreme in the mountains a lot and its really easy to side hill. Counter steering is a lotta fun with this design. Once I let someone ride it for the first time and they went 10 feet and they tipped it on its side on flat 3 foot deep powder
If we are talking tippy then lets not forget the infamous ELAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy is correct in saying this is a specialty machine for tight monouvering around the bush, not joy riding. Looks like my kinda machine for loging.
The thing about an Elan was when you got stuck you just picked it up and moved it. Just stay away from any slush with it. Those were great little sleds
Had a 72 Elan 250 twin, never got it stuck, it would go anywhere!
Anyone who buys a tundra and complains about it being tippy needs to be slapped! Go buy a touring or expedition then. Tundras have been tippy from the beginning
I own a 2018 Ski Doo Tundra LT 600 ACE. I bought the wide ski liners and the temperature gauge accessories. The ski liners help quite a bit with tippyness and flotation. The 4 stroke motor us very quite, doesn't use oil, starts at 20 below zero very easily and the fuel mileage on eco mode is fenominal! I love my tundra and I'd buy another one in a heartbeat! I've never got it stuck and believe me I've tried. Went riding with a bunch of mountain sled buddies and I made it further than they did that night.
Fuel economy is definitely a great aspect to the ACE motor. Did that model have the rad?
@@granteditslifeoutdoors.9194 yes it came standard with it. I rode miles of icy trails and it never got hot. 40°f all day going slow mostly off trail riding and the temp stayed right in the middle of gauge.
All sleds were like this back in the day. It's only recently they started making these wide sleds for city slickers on groomed trails.
The 1970 Olympic 335 I grew up with / learned to ride on was tippy but lean in the corners and you would fly thru a narrow trail.
I have a 24 inch wide track deep in the bush and it works great. Not tippy just need to really throw your weight around and keep momentum. Like any sled.
