The thing will go nearly anywhere, and boy does it pull hard.
I was stunned how it towed 20 tons of logs on skids like nothing.

It will likely be a few years, but i plan to make something like it someday.

I have an old tractor, just need to make up the drums, and mounts, get few sprockets, and chain......really should not be too hard.

I just love making cool things, just because I can.

Actually I am selling my turbo, and going to build myself a big bore for next winter.

I build a new sled for myself almost every year.
Sometimes i keep the past years ride as a back up sled, but not this year.

With a 1200, ported, polished, heads, and spray should be a fun sled after i strip it of about 60 pounds as well.

Yeah, that would be cool. I am in Kamloops from the 23-25 of April. Won't have my sled with me, but we could meet up.

That is sooo cool.
I want one. But I want it to be powered with a 460.

I bet you could make those finned pontoon things floatation devices so you could cross water with it if you had to.
