  • Today didn't go quite as planned but we still had a great time and were able to test out the snowcat in some untouched snow. It was awesome to see @ostacruiser out with his Argo and see it perform in our terrain!

    love the footage and the scenery it's amazing.
    I love snowcats I've got an rc one that I love playing with I can only dream of actually being able to go in one they look sooooo much fun to drive but i live in the uk so no chance of me ever going in a real snowcat lol.
    hope you managed to fix your one and hope you can continue to to have lot's of fun fun fun

      @@BruceCookfmx Yeah just weird to me that the frame/axles couldn't just sink through as well and push through. I've been high centered plenty of time but it was heavy wet snow. I took my stock 2nd gen Ram down an abandoned road when they were expanding the airport here in my town and the snow was up to the bottom of the cab and went right through. Was pretty wild with sugary snow running up over the front of the hood LOL. I got to the end of the road because they dead ended the road and was like, shit now I gotta turn around. I ended up just backing up as it was only like 1/4 mile stretch

      Trailering is the biggest hassle for sure. We are fortunate here me and my son. We plan on a motocross track and single track course as well. We are surrounded by crown and bought here for that reason. We are at 3800 feet so lots of snow and i use mine as well for driveway when the banks get too big for the suburban to push back.
      Good luck with the fix you are going to have to do.

  • @wmden1
    @wmden1 Před 3 měsíci

    The trucks have too small tires and too much space between the axles. The Argo does pretty well because of the very short distance between the axles and the large high flotation paddle tread tires. In other words, the Argo has a larger footprint, per the length of the vehicle, with very little space between the tires, closer to the footprint of the tracked Snow Cat. Why not let the Cat and Argo break the trail and save a lot of wear and tear on the people and the Cat pulling everybody else out?

    • @BruceCookfmx
      @BruceCookfmx  Před 3 měsíci

      All comes down to the weight of the vehicle and size of the tire/ability to air down. This is the worst snow conditions of the year and they are generally very capable.

It actually doesn’t work very good (in this particular sugar snow) to follow behind instantly, however, a week later we went and drove the tracks I put down on fresh snow with 10 psi in our tires going a good clip. So after it’s had a chance to harden, it’s amazing! Learning as we go 👍🏻 thanks for watching

      The snow was especially bad that day. Usually they can drive most places fairly easily. “Sugar snow” is brutal for anything with tires
