- So I been enjoying the Tundra 600 ACE LT, breaking trails, and riding through cut-overs as such. So far I'm very pleased with how this little ski-doo handles the snow and how easily you can bank it side to side. It's the perfect machine for the person who don't want to tear up the trails going mach 1.
Love those 600 ACE Engines. Wife rides a 2017 MXZ 600. Perfect sled for anyone really.
I agree, it suits all my needs...
Yep
Last year I bought the gen 4 efi 600 Tundra . They No longer have three modes . I mostly ride small trails and Ice fish . Did some hill and trail breaking. Can’t wait for this year !
I love the tundra's, great sled for the snow
have mine for 4 years now, excellent machine, probably one of the last good trappers sled, tippy though, have to pay attention
I fully agree, it's a great sled for the backwoods and remote areas
Wow
NLGH,Nice work.
Stumbled upon this vid while researching a sled for the woods.Confirmed what I guess I already knew,the sled for me.
Thanks.
Glad I could help!
Wicked
My wife son and I built a wilderness camp with two 250 tundras finally worked them to death, I loved them. One of these days I hope to get a new tundra. At this time I am running a bearcat it’s okay but heavy and hard on gas
I went from the bearcat to the tundra and it was a huge difference in a lot of areas.... Bearcat is like a kid riding a bike with training wheels, tundra was like riding a bike for the first time without training wheels.... Over shifting my weight had the tundra laying on its side in deep powder many times... But once you get or balance you quickly fall in love with the tundra and how nimble it can be... When you compare gas mileage, well there's no comparing gas mileage... Loved both machines for different reasons. Come Mar/Apr months when the morning snow is crust you'll miss the bearcat. But when the snow is soft and you learn your balance you'll love the tundra... Basically there is a machine made for all the needs out there, the key is finding the one that suits your needs the most.
Great stuff
My friend just bought a used one just like the one you have...can't wait to try it out this winter...we are like you....nothing better then opening a new trail deep in the wood going slowly and enjoying the forest...me on my skandic and him on a tundra!!
Well the Skandic is the Beast but I wanted something much lighter... Two great sleds for enjoying the back country and exploring remote locations. Looking forward to hearing reports on your adventures
NLGhostWolf indeed that’s why for the second sled we went the tundra way....we’ll experiment both and when it’s time for me to change i’ll know if i stay with the beast or change for a tundra also
Love it
Good sled and awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
I just bought the 2019 version a few weeks ago. I love it. Hauls my boggan no problem, goes anywhere, sips fuel, quiet, starts in the -40’s, great low end torque and slow speed control. I’ve got mine stuck a few times, but we have crazy rocky terrain here in Yellowknife, and our snow is more like sand. That said, it still is hard to get stuck, and easy to get out, thanks to its light weight. I am coming from a Skandic 550F WT, and this Tundra LT is so much more nimble! I really had to manhandle the Skandic. I thought I would miss low gear range, but the 600 ACE works really well, even just above idle. Skidoo really got the gearing and clutching right on this machine. We run two Tundra Sport 550F’s at work, and we really do well by them. I was teaching a snowmobile course to some federal employees, and they had the brand new 600 ACE version. I bought mine the following week after going over theirs. Outstanding machine. My Skandic is now on the buy and sell. I can only imagine what my machine will be like with skins on the skis... Thanks for sharing. I subbed you, as well. Time to catch up and wait for more! Take care.
Oh, I've gotten mine stuck as well but it was mostly driver error. A little more throttle and I would have been fine. 100% agreed on how nimble these machines are and on how easy they are to get unstuck. Thanks for the sub, I subbed you as well. I just built a cargo box for the back of my Tundra. Only regrets were not doing it sooner. I did a video of that build. Hope you enjoy the videos. Cheers
NLGhostWolf I definitely need to watch your cargo box build!
👍👍
Great comment
We have one too
It's the lightest sled
Ever made
600 ace is the best ski doo
You'll get ☺☺☺👍👍👍👍👍
I was out riding mine today. We have a blizzard warning happening right now and we've got tons of snow.
No it is not the lightest sled ever made, that is the stupidest statement ever made. You just can't beat that for stupid! In the 60's and 70's they made a lot of sleds that were lighter, more recently the smaller tundras were a lot lighter and what about the elan???
Sounds like the snowmobile for me. Thanks for posting as you should be a spokesperson for Ski Doo.Well done enjoyed your video.
Haha Thanks, Glad you enjoyed the video
Wonderful
seeing you ride your new sled reminds me of when we lived in Alaska and we had a 68 SKIROULE.I think it was 18 horse and light as a feather . We took it everywhere and seldom got stuck. No trails just rode. Great memories. I think SkiDoo should hire you to promote the Tundra. Good luck on your camping trip and stay warm. Bill
Yes Bill I hear what you are saying about the old skidoos, and this ski-doo takes me right back to when I started ski-dooing in the early 70's. Great fun, so relaxing. Haha I don't think Ski-doo will be hiring me any time soon to promote their machines.
👍👍
Wonderful
Promotional video? Lol
As soon as I'm able, I'm getting one. It pays not too be biased with sleds. Oh course, that wisdom comes with age. Best review on a snowmobile yet!
Thanks, I really enjoy mine. So quiet, so good on gas, and so nimble it's unreal.
Thanks for this video! It convinced me the Tundra is the right sled for me so I just went and bought one :)
Great stuff I hope you get as much enjoyment out of yours as I do mine. Welcome to the Tundra club
Great
Looking at the new 2021 Tundra LT 600 EFI ..Trying to decide between it and the 2021 Skandic Sport, which has the same motor but a 20 in wide in track. Like the Tundra, and the video..great job.
Thanks, buy what feels right and don't worry about what others say. Your money, your choice... Enjoy
By the sounds of it I think you like that machine. Hope you have many years of enjoyment with it Charlie. Later
Thanks Barry, me too. Now I need to invest in a good SBS or quad for the Spring, Summer and Fall adventures
❤❤
Very cool bro, that's the way I like to ride!! I used to go 100mph across the lakes but no more, you know what that means!!! NO! We have gained wisdom with age!!!! I really like the sled... reminds me of my moms 68 Polaris colt!!!! Kleeted track, no weight!! I could go any where with that thing!!! Thanks for the vid bro!!!!!
Right on Joe, yes I'll be the first to amount I can't ride like I use to and plus I'm to stiff and sore the next day. This kind of ski-dooing thou, I can do all day all. There are times I think I'll get passed by an old lady on snowshoes... But I'm seeing a lot more animal sign and that makes me happy. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Love it
Great video Cuz! unreal how quiet that sled is. No requirement to hammer it down love it!
Yes my buddy, she crawls in places where once I needed to be heavy on the hammer. I should have gotten Karen to record where I had it today. While breaking a new trail I had to bunch through a big drift on a side hill or fall into a deep hole. It was a breeze...
Excellent
Cool video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Very very nice video!!!!! Just to tell you, I have a 2017 Renegade Adrenaline 850 E-tec, and today, just bought a 2018 Skandic SWT 900 ACE... I now have the best of both worlds!!!! (But I REALLY like the Skandic, slow, and quiet, and I can admire the forest........
My body can't handle the quick machines anymore, with 9 deteriorating vertebrae in my back I have to take it nice and slow for the most part. 850 E-tec is to much engine for me to handle now-a-days. Yes I fully agree and understand why you like the Skandic adventures where you go slow and quiet, you get to see so much more of the winter wonderland.
The Light Weight of the machine sure lets it Float over the snow alright. and it is impressive how it can go through such narrow spaces...and of course the gas is a big + all in all it seem's to be a very nice sled. i hope you will get a lot of good years out of it Charlie. have fun with it my friend and all the best to you!!
Thanks brother, so far so good. Fingers crossed it will bring me many wonderful years of service and adventures. Speaking of which I'm do for a good camping trip. I must find a good place with a few rabbits and no martens. So far all the places I've been scouting has sign of marten and I don't want to catch one in a snare. I'm going out to scout a few more spots tomorrow.
❤❤
Love it
Thanks for the video review. Reminds me of the first sled I owned, a Skidoo 440 LT, about 2001 vintage. Simple, super narrow, go anywhere machine. Lousy gas mileage. I loved it and thought it was a great beginner sled, but everyone else I put on it hated it because it would tip over too easy. They just wanted to sit on their butt and not stand up or throw their weight around. Finally sold it and went to a SWT Skandic. Now ride a 600 Etec SWT Skandic but looking at either the Expedition Sport or the Tundra, both with the 600 Ace. It would be my wife's machine and my solo backcountry machine and I know my wife would struggle with the Tundra.
I gave the old tundra a hard going over yesterday breaking trail. I truly don't think any other sled do have went were the tundra went yesterday. It's unreal where that machine can go
❤❤
Great comment
The best engine Ever🤟 i had 600ace tundra .and now i drivning Lynx 49 Ranger 600ace its alittle more stabil👍
Two very amazing machines right there !!!
Nice...sweet sled. Thanks for posting that. I'm convinced it's time for a Tundra 600 ACE LT!
I have to tell you that I just love mine. It goes places sleds shouldn't go. Not only does it go there, but it goes there quietly and burns less fuel than anything else out there.
Thanks. Since I have your attention. How would it handle 2 riders and pulling a sled of camping gear? No plans for anything fast... just slow and easy trips just like your video.
The sled handles very well with two riders and you can get the 2-up seat for it if you do a lot of 2 riders riding. But it's an extra $1K there a bouts. But if 2 up is your main thing, then I would surely get it. My wife rides with me all the time, if fact she is with me more than I'm by myself but she worth let me spend the extra for the 2-up seat. However it would not be a waste of money for me if I did. The Tundra and the way it's geared makes for the perfect slow and steady riding sled. It is tippy though, I went from a 20" Bearcat to the Tundra and it took a little getting use to. However in the powder the narrow stance of the tundra gives you much greater control and when breaking trails you are able to lean into and carve into the drifts so you are left with a nice flat trail. In the spring of the year when the snow gets hard and crusty you'll find it tippy if you have to side hill at all because the snow is to hard to carve into. But I love my Tundra and as long as I'm riding and as long as they are making Tundra's I'll be riding one. It's the perfect sled for my needs and it suits me perfectly. This sled is geared low, not fast as compared to today's sleds out there but because it is geared low it has great torque and hauls with ease.
👍👍👍
While others are whizzing by out on the big trails, I have carefully avoided those crazy folks and cut my own trail taking in nature that few ever see. Don't have to hunt or haul logs to enjoy the full beauty of nature and going slowly is what it is all about. So keep the news quiet.... let the other whizz by, and keep this little bit of nature to ourselves. But it is nice to know that at least one of the makers of sleds understands this and doesn't measure sled performance by leaping thru the air and blowing down the trail... quiet is a good thing....once you get used to doing this you will find out all that you missed by roaring around on a big bore sled.
Yes Sir, this is the way I started off riding ski-doo's many years ago. My first ski-doo was a 7 1/2 HP. Put it got me from place to place and my dad before me. Today's sledding has changed dramatically however my love for slowly exploring the back country never has... I hope you enjoy all my Tundra Adventure videos... Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. And yes, lets keep this little bit of nature to ourselves... :-)
Great comment keep them going
Hello, used to have a 660 bearcat myself, i couldnt get it out of a hole, maybe lack of expérience, but im definetly sold on the brp tundra. Thank you. Now i need to find à good used one. Thank you..
I love mine, found it very tippy at first but that's what makes it so maneuverable and what I've come to love about it. But it's an adjustment coming from a big heavy wide track. I'm not afraid to get this tundra stuck at all. If it moves forward or back one inch it's not stuck. It will tap its own trail and away it goes.
hey charlie like your new sled. I have 2011 trundra 550 fan , been using it on my trap line for 6 years now and love it. know you will love yours as well,your trapping buddy david
Thanks David, I'm glad to hear that yours is still going strong. Some fine rigs for getting into tight spots.
Nice sled Charlie! Can't believe all the snow,everything here just melted 60 degrees here yesterday.
Oh I would cry if our snow melted now. Just getting back into the winter adventures of snowshoeing, ski-dooing, and later this week, ice fishing and rabbit snaring. I just love the Newfoundland winters. So much more enjoyable then in the minus 40+ winters of the North. Don't get me wrong, I loved my time in the North but I've spent 10X more time outside this winter due to the wonderful -5 to -15 temps... So much more enjoyable when you are in the milder temps of the Island.
❤❤
You knew that I would be watching this video! LOL! My local dealer has it for 9,600 u.s.d. before any deals. If I can get it past the finance committee (wife), I will be riding! You should send this video to Ski-Doo, they might make it a public commercial!
I hope you Finance Committee (Wife) approves your purchase. I think you'll be pleased with how this ski-doo performs. For the can of riding I like to do, this is a perfect sled for me. Ha ha I have a face for radio not the public commercial. Thanks for the chuckle though.... :-)
Tundra 2 is the best bud dont care bout all these new fancy couches
Sounds like it fit you to a tee, nice sled too!
Yes brother, I'm liking it a lot.
Thanks for posting the information on this snowmobile, I'll be looking into getting one these, deep lite snow in my part of the country / P.S. hope you're enjoying the retirement :)
Retirement is the dream job. :-)
No problems, it is a lot of fun to drive, and unlike the big wide tracks I'm not afraid to get this one stuck when I'm by myself. But that hasn't happened yet... :-)
Fantastic
I order a 2022 ! I can’t wait! For my cabin north Québec.
someone is going to have fun this winter... Bring on the snow for Francois... Enjoy your machine.
Love it
thanks
😆
nice video, i have same sled, i like that, i ride with friend with 800 mountain sled no problem, just take a second or a third shot to go up hill!
They can go, I love mine. Most nimble ski-doo I ever owned.... Absolutely 0 regrets... This sled was made for me...
NLGhostWolf, I think that Lynx has one called Lynx 49 and I have an Arctic Cat Norseman 6000 and its a similar type of sled. Good and Bad about the Tundra is the front suspension. Supergood if there is lots of bushes and things, the a-arms on mine is good but it collects Forrest from time to time. Gone from M8 to the Norseman and it is a different type of riding.
Right on, and we have a lot of brush here that I have to go through on a very regular basis. Nothing like riding a narrow stance sled through the forest. I've gotten a lot better this year, last year when I switched from the big bearcat to the tundra I found I was always over compensating for the turns by leaning to much. The Tundra only needs a little input to carve in the snow.
My Norseman 6000 is about 4 inches wider over the skiis. About the Skis (the ProUte skis)... I dont know sometimes I love them and some times I hate them. When you are out and scouting the Tundra and even my Norseman 6000 is so perfect. The sapmi people uses Tundras alot here in Sweden.
czcams.com/video/kuP4LVsOYJw/video.html Tundra in Sweden...
How's the snow conditions over there in Sweden this year? I always wanted to go to Sweden...
I loved that video, seen it before. I like to ride like that just picking my way through the woods. Check out on my playlist "Tundra Adventures 2017" you'll see me doing that a lot in some videos.
ya that was an excellent little review, love the sled, makes me want to get one now,, haha. Beautiful country as well. I can tell your from the east coast.
Newfoundland I gather. is that's what the NL sands for.? just a guess . loved the video. relaxing actually ,, haha
Glad you enjoyed it and yes, NL stands for Newfoundland and Labrador. I was born and raised in the Stephenville area of the Island and now I'm retired there. Home to stay...
@@NLGhostWolf Your in Gods country thats forsure.
Machine seems to run nice !! Migwech
Oh she a nice rig. So good on gas, it's almost fun to add some to the tank... LOL
I got the same machine and it will get stuck! Couldn't get out of the yard after the last storm. When the snow set up after a day or two I still had to snow shoe all the hills before I could get up. This is my second tundra, and I spend a lot of time operating these machines so I know how they handle (not one to muscle) in deep snow and I could probably go places most people can't, but you're wrong, they will get stuck. The snow you were driving on was set up pretty good. As far as going up to your waist, part of the video shows it wasn't over your boots. Bring your sled to the Cape Breton Highlands after a nor'easter and see what she can do up the hills - you'll get stuck or spend all day backing up and going forward with little progress. It's better than most, but not the go anywhere machine bombardier claims it to be. She pulls a good load but lifts the front end and won't steer on hills. And the ski skin kit is worthless... darts and won't steer under best conditions.
We get far more snow then you do in Cape Breton here in Western NL. Come to the Lewis Hills to see snow and mountains... I've pulled up along 4 sleds who were stuck, and I never had an issue even on 6' powder drifts. And I know it will get stuck but so far I've been able to go places others couldn't.
Man a just bought a new 2019 tundra LT because of you 😂😂😂 I’ll write to BRP so they can send you your commission $$$ ! ;)
Well I hope you like your's as much as I love mine.... You're about the 12th - 15th person who has told me that same thing.
Like my ski doo 1986 citation ls 250cc air cooled. Light and narrow and fun
Light narrow and fun is the way to go
Wow u had the tundra along time now.
yes still enjoys the tundra. hard to beat in the woods
😆
What a soothing video i nice terrain! A bit envious of the amounts of snow you have (Where are you?) And a real tribute to the Tundra LT ACE 600. I have on myself since 2012 :)
Thank-you for the kind words. Yes I live in Western Newfoundland, and we are blessed with lots of snow, mild winter temperatures and some of the most breathe taking views in the world. And for me, I'm double blessed because it is right out my back door. Thanks for watching
I’m looking at purchasing one purely for ice fishing. Does the ace do good in the slush? Have you had this snowmobile in wet conditions with gear on it?
I have never tried it in slush. I know the skandics do well in the slush not sure about the tundra?
@@NLGhostWolf ok update, I just purchased a 2021 tundra ace. Even though there’s not a lick of snow around anymore I’m looking forward to next winter ice fishing.
Thankyou for the informational videos, keep up the great work.
Sweet little sled. I would have gotten carried away in the day & gone to far. Are you in cell range Charlie? Carry shoes & possibles regardless. 1 mile like 20 in that! No 115 crazy. No 15...5 km perfect.
Toss I got this sled to go off the beaten path, 90% of the time I'm not close to cell service. Put 100 miles on the sled today. Yes 115 is to fast, it's all you can do just to hang on to the sled. I like to putt, putt around now and look at all the things I never got to see in the past.
NLGhostWolf Just make sure you have snowshoes & possibles bag. That is where the box would come in handy. Lots of craft macaroni & a pot & tea kettle 14 lighters 😀. That stuff has like 1000 calories a package. Save you in a pinch. Far away machines scare me.
Have u tried it in slush then?. Do u think other ace 600 snowmobiles is good as yours tundra in deep snow then?.
nice datailed review tank's alot
Glad you liked it.
How does this machine do in light snow and warmer conditions like in Montana ? Mostly more vertical trails ? For trapping , is there a better machine choice ?
If you want it for vertical climbs you might be disappointed in the ACE as it is a heavier 4 stroke, a better choice for vertical climbs would be the 2 stroke etec Tundra Extreme. However if quiet and fuel efficiency is important then the 600 ACE is tops. Mine does very well in light snow. My sled is both fan cooled and liquid cooled, makes it good for warmer conditions.
Cmon man don’t hold back... tell what you really think of that sled 🙂
haha
I've watched several of your videos with the 2019 Tundra LT how would you say it rides on hard packed groomed trails or across a frozen snow covered lake? When heading out ice fishing rarely going above 50-60 miles per hour?
Have you ever experienced riding in crusty conditions on ski-doo where you get into a speed wobble as one ski bites into the crust and then the other... On a wide ski sled you have a chance to recover somewhat. On the tundra if this happens it will throw you in the blink of an eye. But as for riding a hard pack groomed trail it's a dream, it won't dart side to side in other carbide tracks because the ski-stance is not like the other sleds (but this is not what the tundra was designed for)... I love the tundra but you need to understand, crusty conditions are it's worst nightmare... You just need to take your time in those rare conditions... I personally won't recommend the tundra as a trail riding sled, but it works well in those conditions... I would recommend studying the conditions you'd be most riding in and get a sled that best suits those conditions. Hope I'm making some sense, perhaps I could do a little talk on this during a live chat.
I've considered what I'd do the most and that is ice fish / hunt and secondary would be riding groomed trails. There was so much snow this year during moose season the snow was over the lights on my KQ700 with two inch lift. I want something to take me off the groomed trails and into the forest to explore and hunt. Then to use for ice fishing a couple trips a year.
Nice video. Thanks for the ride along and music. Reminds me of where I grew up in Ontario. Been wanting to get back into sledding. Looking at something like this or Expedition. I want to do groomed trails and then also back country like this and do not want to get stuck. Was on a Yamaha and stroke like the Bearcat was terrible.
How well has that LTS suspension held up in the front?
How does the ride of the Tundra compare to the Bearcat?
LTS is doing great, my sled is a 2017 so I've got 3 years of riding it now, with absolutely no issues... Gas mileage is the best you can get. It's quiet, handles very well once you get use to it. It's a narrow machine which makes it very nimble, however it can also make it very tippy under certain conditions. As for the ride compared to the bearcat, there's no comparison. My last sled before the Tundra was the 570 Bearcat 20" track... It was heavy, poor gas milage, went through a jug of oil every 2 1/2 tanks, plus the bearcat had track push, and you couldn't carve with it. Only carved a few times with it and had to replace an idler wheel each time... Big heavy machine which is not meant for carving in the snow. It wasn't tippy but the bearcat went where it wanted to go, the Tundra goes where you want it to go. The Bearcat I was afraid to get it stuck on my own, the Tundra I'm not afraid to get it stuck, you get that machine moving forward or backwards 1" and it will tap it's own trail...
@@NLGhostWolf Thanks for the info. Probably will stick to the trails for what I want. Need 2 seats, MX Expedition maybe. But love how the Tundra can go anywhere.
Do you have a lot of maintenance besides an oil change once a year for your Tundra 600 ACE?
No, it's beautiful... Other than putting the battery on the trickle charger in the off season. I did however have to replace my battery, got a lemon battery, must have been a Monday morning batt. New one works like a charm.
Thank you for your response! I will be getting my 2018 Tundra LT 600 ACE delivered next week, can't wait!
I've gotten stuck in some stupid places with my Tundra. Always got it out without help! Though, it's usually my own fault
I've gotten mine stuck too. But the beauty of the tundra is I can get it out all by myself with little effort.
Yup! I know what ya mean! Even some of my more hopeless moments, I seemed to have prevailed.
World's most Canadian video
Does it pull a trapper sled well with gear? Three years later are you still happy with it?
Love the Tundra, After 3 years I like it more today than I did three years ago. Quiet, super good on gas, and goes places you can walk in snow. Check out the video I linked to this comment where I'm hauling birch firewood. But I hauled the logs that I used to build my garage and the lumber cut from those same logs will be used to frame in my cabin if the prices ever drop on OSB.
czcams.com/video/cYwnvZ8K9EA/video.html
NLGhostWolf I watched it great video. Like the tundra and what it can do. We trap a ton in the winter. Looking for a good sled. The tundra just looked too heavy is all. Love the price of them as well. By the way, here in nett lake reservation mn, I too love to snare and eat those wild rabbits 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. Be safe and God bless
The tundra is 600 ACE LT is only 495 lbs dry weight. I'm crippled up and I still can pick up both ends of the sled front or back with ease.
Very Nice video
I dont no wat would be the best choice for me. I am looking for the tundra LT 600 ace or the Skandic WT. I would tow a litle bit of wood and go make new traile in deep snow. But I dont want somting to big. I am woried about that the 600 ace would not be enought power and troque for the skandic.
Thanks
the 600 ACE seems to be under powered for ripping around on, but it has great torque and I've hauled many logs with mine with no issues at all and burned next to nothing on fuel doing so.
Thanks for you help
Do you think that the tundra is enoght stable Even in deep snow?
The tundra is tippy but once you get use to it, you can get it to go into some tricky places ...
Tanks
Wath is aproximatley the top speed of your tundra 600 ace?
you sure got a machine there for sure,do she come with a passenger seat.nice spot for skidoo ride.
Yes Wallace she is fun to ride, and the country I have here right out my back door is incredible.
*Is in econo-mode*
Hits slush
*_ENGAGE SPORT MODE_*
What made you decide on the tundra over the Skandic? If you don't mind me asking.
Because it is so nimble. That narrow stance and overall with allows me to cut a trail just wide enough for the Tundra and no other machine can follow me. I plan on getting back into trapping once the fur prices increase and this will help insure far less people coming behind me missing with my traps and snares. The lightweight of the Tundra makes the 600 ACE more power then the machine needs to move along. The shape of the belly pan enables the ski-doo to float up on top of the snow. Because it is so light I never worry about getting stuck and it takes something to get this machine stuck. It is unreal where this sled can go. I went from a Wide Track Bear Cat to the Tundra and don't regret it for one second.
Cool all valid points, thanks for the reply.
The gas mileage on the 600 Ace in the light platform of the Tundra LT allows it to sip fuel. It's unreal... If this sled can move forwards or backwards 1 inch, you are not stuck. It will tap its own trail and come out on top of the snow again. This machine affords me the freedom to explore the unbeaten trails and remote areas where others don't go. Is it the best sled for the deep powder, no probably not. Is it the best sled in the powder for the gas mileage and quiet performance of a 4 stroke... I'd have to say yes... Basically, this sled put all the right checks in the right boxes for my needs in a good reliable sled and at the right cost. If I was to design a sled it would resemble the tundra 600 ace LT very closely.
My husband just bought me this sled I am a new be and first time out tipped it twice (all good) any suggestions?? Is this the right sled for a beginner ☃️☃️☃️☃️
they do have ski-extension mod's you can add to the Tundra for added stability. I will answer your question in the very next Tundra Adventure video. I'll be doing some recording for it today.
What is the difference between 600 ace and a 550 fan ?
600 ace is a 4 stroke super quiet and unbelievable on gas.
550 fan is much more powerful but less reliable and bad on gas and loud. It has 90hp versus the ace having 60hp
Forget HP the ACE is High Torque, Low RPM clutch engagement. For towing forget what you think you know ACE 600 is the best. ACE 900 is not the same animal. Much "faster" for the groomed trail but not as good for picking around.
@@calebm.5698 4t version is more powerful but little bit heavier and 4t motor gas comsumpions is.. nothing ;)
how much can the tundra lt pull
I'll let you know soon. Going to be hauling logs this winter.
I pulled a whole moose one time with one of the earlier tundra's (90's) and these ones are a lot bigger and more powerful and more aggressive track so they are going to pull a lot more. And I do mean a whole moose, Alaska/Yukon moose.
Thanks for sharing, what year is it?
2017
@@NLGhostWolf ok thanks
to bad you never had it when you were up here! lol I bet me or lee could get you stuck lol
You guys can get stuck in your front yard... :-)
NLGhostWolf lol yea and not even know there's anyone for 200 miles ahahah it was about 5 feet of pure powder when I had my swt stuck but even then just packed it down a short ways and went on loves my swt!!!
They are amazing machines
hauled any logs yet? I'm interested in how it can pull a sled of logs.... I don't need to travel miles with the load, just logging my own 30 acres and getting it back to the house
Starting to haul logs tomorrow with it. Will be hauling every morning for the next week from 0700 - 1100. I'll let you know how it works
good timing! I look forward to hearing how it goes, it's much easier for me to sell the wife on the idea of a new sled if it can be used to harvest 3-4 cord a year

hauled out 40 logs today. 8 logs at a time, no problem, the machine don't even strain under the load. Some of those logs are 300 pound plus
great stuff! what are you using for a tag sled? planning any videos?
What is mpg on it then.?
They claim 29 MPG and I can't confirm nor deny that claim. I know it sure goes a lot further then my old Bearcat use to go before adding fuel. I have never been one who needs to know the exact mileage I get on any of my vehicles. I never tend to feel the need to worry about things that are beyond my control. But if I were to guess I would have to say that it must be close to what they claim... Coming from the Bearcat 570 2 stroke to the 600 ACE 4 stroke was like night and day for fuel consumption... I know it's like comparing apples to oranges, but you won't get any complaints from me on the MPG the 600 ACE gets on my Tundra LT.
Good job can I have a shout out and what camera do u have
Hey Pirate are you from Stephenville area. I have the GoPro Hero 4 Silver and a Canon VIXIA HF M30. Both dandy cameras which I would recommend to anyone.
YES and where can u get the vixia
Anywhere they sell canon, its a canon vixia with a HD CMOS sensor in it. I really like this camera.
Do u live in Stephenville
No Cold Brook, but I did live in Stephenville
Is it a wide track
It's a 2017 154" x 16" track on a dry weight frame of 495 lbs, 600 ACE 4 stroke eng. So the lbs per sq inch exerted on the snow is very minimal.
do u know if u can get a two up seat for it
I believe I can, they talked about it at the shop when I was buying the sled but I never looked into it, so I'm not 100% sure.
Yes you can.
does that have a two speed gearbox?
I'm not sure Bob, but I can tell you that where I had it a couple of days ago I don't think anything could have broke that trail. Had to pass over some tuck-a-mores where the snow was only on the branches and not settled to the ground yet, we need a few good milds to helps the snow settle down through the branches and build up a good base. Well the sled was pointed sky-ward for a good 30-40 yards but it some how managed to get through. I had missed the trail and once I got on top of the Tucks I had to ride it out... A rough go. She has the different modes, ECO, Standard and Sport. I normally run in Standard full-time but have been known to put it in sport from time to time when I hit deep powder.
how long is that sled? my lynx 49 ranger utility sled with 900 ace has 163 track. I bet it could beat that tundra off trail. watch this clip: czcams.com/video/Cdb7wJryuTA/video.html NB! not my video. I don't know if he has the optional track with 59mm lugs. standard is 39mm. I went with 59.
It might, but mine is so light I'm not afraid to take it any where and get it stuck by myself. Because if you can manage to get it moving 1" forwards or back, you're not stuck. You just tap your own trail and away you go. The front of the tundra acts like the tip of a ski and get the front of the tundra riding up on top of the snow in all conditions. I've seen the lynx videos and they are amazing sleds, but I'll stick with my tundra. It's all the sled I need and I'll go anywhere with it.
NLGhostWolf lynx 49 ranger also has the articulating rear suspension. the issue with 600 ace is that you don't have enough power to run a longer track with more aggressive luggs. 59mm luggs is realy amazing when you go off trail. my Scandinavia turing version has the same A-arm used on lynx 69 army. their bent in a way that gives extra clearance to snow and stumps. it makes a big difference compared with brp's other a-arm setup.
Based on your comments, you sold another one.
Hope you get as much enjoyment out of yours as I do mine.
@@NLGhostWolf i will. We think alike. My days of hot rodding on the trails are done. I prefer the back country. Being able to blaze my one trail has been my lifes story. People like you make life a lot nicer.
Thank-you for your kind words. Yes I can understand the hot rodding days being over. I have been riding my Tundra now for three winters and I'm still amazed at where this little machine can go. Oh, she can get good and stuck but you are able to get it out on your own much easier than with those big heavy sleds. I to be fair to the Tundra, the times I did get it stuck was operator error. Or just plan foolish for picking that path, LOL... She can be tippy and be very careful in crusty conditions. Tundra's and Skandics have been known to get what is like a speed wobble in crusty riding conditions. Best avoid those conditions or just take your time. Cheers my friend, be safe out there.
