    great vid! i just bought a new 13 hp sport model. love it. I bought a pair of folding aluminum ramps and use just one to load and unload into the back of my f150. works awesome and keeps it out of the salt spray pretty well. i had 4 fully grown adults and all their gear behind me in six sleds a few weeks ago. really turns some heads heading out when people see you unpack the back of the truck and then start it up and hop on and drive away.

    I have the 13hp snowdog bought December 2021, Been out on the lake 6 times already. Poor snowmobile is getting sold, this was so much better for my use case. I use ramps and put it right in the back of the truck. I have a camper top for it, all the ice gear goes to the other side of the bed. It sure is a head turner. Was pretty good to see a snowmobile stuck on the ramp and I went right up it. That felt good.

    Outstanding review and explanation. Knowing what you experienced so far in NH with the compact model, if you were going to buy a new one and needed to pull yourself and a friend with your gear would you get another compact or move up to mid level and why?

      The only issue with batteries is regardless of the type of battery, the cold is hard on them and would reduce range. Likely increase the weight too. You can carry an extra gallon of gas and nearly double the range on these. You'd need a generator, even a small $99 one from harbor freight... And gas, to increase your range. And it's gonna take time.

    • @differentfins

      @@bryantitus6634 I wouldnt say that. Tesla cars have been proven worthy in -40 temps. My ice auger is much lighter than the gas powered auger it replaced, it handles cold well. It might reduce the range (maybe) but an electric motor equal in horsepower would weigh less than this B&S gas powered motor. Lithium Ion batteries are extremely light. I dont think it would be nearly as bad as you think.

      @@differentfins we just towed ±900 lb with my uncle's snowdog yesterday about 3 miles total just in and out of our spot we were fishing and with a couple decent hills and about 7" of snow on the lake, that's a lot of load. Electric motors last a long time with low load. The same lake we set up on we fished the end we access at. Our other spot is 2 miles down the lake. Just to and from the lake is 2 miles from the vehicle round trip. And 4 miles round trip across the lake that has a good 6-8" of snow on top will be a very big draw. To have enough on board battery to provide 6+ miles of range JUST TO AND FROM and not around our spot and to move occasionally, or go to our farthest tip ups that can be pretty easily 200-300 yards from the tent is asking a lot on electric range. When one 1.6 gal tank of gas and a spare 1 gallon jug will provide adequate range AND backup reserve.
      I'm an advocate of electric. I run a clam drill plate adapter and everyone I fish with that doesn't run drill adapters runs 24v and 40v strikemasters. Very different applications. Really the part that makes me uneasy about electric conversions with them is just range under load, specifically when breaking trail going in with everything. We put about 10 miles on on bare ice and mostly back and forth to flags up to 300 yards from the tent. In those same conditions electric would excel. I agree. Getting enough range to do so with a comfort level with electric would increase weight dramatically. Yes Tesla's do well in cold weather, but electric cars are typically up to 1,000 lb heavier than similar size gas counterparts. One of the best things about a snow dog is when you are safe walking on the ice, the snow dog had been safe already due to footprint.
      But for more remote scenarios, gas still has its place.

    You can get a used Yamaha VK540 for less that a new Snowdog. They're readily available where I live, but I don't know if that's the case elsewhere.
    It is a much larger, heavier machine, but they can go pretty much anywhere, and are legendary in terms of reliability. The VK540 has a very simple air-cooled engine. And maintenance isn't an issue, because they literally last forever.
    And you could carry/tow about 15 times as much gear with a VK. They have a hi/low/reverse gearbox, 540cc engine, and 20”x156" track.
    It's a bigger machine to store and transport but also much more capable, comfortable, and faster. For longer expeditions, I think the VK is a much more practical choice, but it's all a matter of tradeoffs and priorities, I guess.

    That Harbor Freight carrier is a piece of junk unless you mod the crap out of it.Really should be rated for half of what they claim.A friend I work with has one for a 24" snowthrower,and I can see it flexing big time.He put a 1/2" piece of plywood on the bottom to help,but it needs better cross bracing. I have the sport model and currently using a 4x6 trailer,but will be looking into a carrier sold through Northern Tool which has the best reviews of most of them.They rate those carriers for 500lb static load,but what about dynamic loads,like having it on the back while traveling on rough roads?I have heard of some of those cheaper ones having the tongue piece bending down(thin Chinesium metal).

    New small engines are designed to burn recreation fuel yeah it's pricey and that is the reason a lot of folks don't burn it but the shelf life is much higher and it doesn't have the ethinal. So you will end up with a long better operating equipment.

    Snow dogs are one trick pony’s! I’ll bet their really fun crossing pressure cracks! If you can’t do at least 60kph it’s only a matter of time before you approach a pressure crack that’s open a bit. Then what? No suspension, no power/speed, overpriced, snow challenged, if the price was decent you’d sell more but for 4-5 gs I’ll buy a sled.

    I don't believe this machine was $1900 CAD, the 13 hp machines are over $6000 in Timmins . I find the machine tippy on uneven ground and wish I had the twin track which is wider. I found that Snowdog isn't much good in very deep snow!

      A few people counter balance them with batteries or weights. The compact I had was very well balanced. I haven't taken the sport out yet since we don't have snow to really test it out. One thing I have heard to handle in deep snow is lift the handle bars up so you have more control on tipping

    that cargo carrier isn't good for mid size SUVs! I didn't read properly the details how much I can load on the my CRV... used a cargo carrier, put there the snowdog.. and drove about 10 km.. I noticed that the body of my Honda CRV was deformed because of the weight of the dog... Hope nobody else would repeat my mistake.

    These are expensive, good on flat ground but terrible in thick powder. They trip and are harder to straighten. Not a fan of riding in a cheap plastic sled. Snowmobiles are better overall. They have more power, more accessories like heated grips! They ride better in deep snow and slushy lakes.

    • @BendItFishing
