lol..i bet it only works in 4in of snow.like the vid showed..lol

I don't think I would try something like that, snowmobiles are just not designed for that purpose. Yeah, they made a snow plow that fits on a sled but what kind of stress is it putting on the machine that it was not designed for?

looks like the dumbest thing ever. hit a chunk of ice and watch your A-arms come back into your shins

[:0]"The Death Blade" would be an appropriate name for it.

 

[bigford8486]

hahaha love the name "the death blade" fits it well i would never put one on my sled

 

[fusionshuk06]

haha that is so dumb snowmobile is meant to drive in the snow not plow it all away so you dont have any snow to ride on. I bet it sucks trying to steer it with no snow. Notice they only showed him plowing straight not backing up or turning around.

 

[sTOrMy96]

hahahahahahahahaha lmao
the only thing that would be good for is building jumps.
i feel super bad for the sucker that buys that!!!![Imaposer]

 

[ilive4snow700]

and when you hit a chunk of ice, rock, small ledge, or even a frozen snow bank too hard it'll rip the a-arms clean off the sled while simultaneously throwing you over the bars.

It doesnt seem like too bad of an idea if you have an old crappy sled and dont tend to get huge snowstorms all the time. Crap for 700 bucks id throw one of those on our pantera to try it... lol. Then again maybe not, since our plowing for a whole season in old forge is less than 500 bucks

 

[MN_SlEdnEck]

i just dont understand who would think this is a great idea? once you plow away the snow youre running your carbides on concrete!!!!
if youre afraid your 4 wheeler wont make it put some tracks on the wheeler!

 

[fusionshuk06]

how much snow could a sled push like 2 inches? lol

 

[TeamCrackitRacing]

You obviously cant plow away all the snow though because a plow like that doesnt weigh enough to put down pressure! i could see maybe at worst, it would still leave enough of a coating for the slides on a blacktop parking lot...

Does is come with a chest protector?

Admittedly, it would be handy plowing at 70mph sometimes, but damn..

I like the idea of using it to build ramps, but dunno how it would do going through two foot deep powder to get there.. I mean, yammies are already front heavy, that would make it a hundred times worse.

ya them yamahas are heavy period and think if you hit a chunk of stuck.frozen ice at 70....ow! i dont even think your chest protector would help lol

I was going to say, the guy was doing like 85mph down his driveway haha

 

[95-xlt-600-special]

I heard bout this the other day this has to be the dumbest thing i have ever laid eyes on it is a snowmobile isnt it???

 

[srx_600]

I really wouldnt want that on my A-arms, thats for sure.

 

[TRICKPaint]

You have to wonder..., at what point of R&D did they decide "this is a great idea and... now we must now mass produce it and make a crappy info. video."

It's so obvious to just the few who replied in a short period of time, the many inherent dangers to equipment and body.

What about your belt and clutches? Heat buildup is no good. Most snowmobiles need a source of cooling as well, so if your plowing it, no good will come of that. To be able to get enough traction to plow a decent amount, you most likely need studs. Well, if your going across nice blacktop, your going to have to put down a new coat of concrete or pavement because it will all be torn to crap.

It said it had sheer away pins so it wouldn't break your a-arms. That means you wont be ripping your a-arms off and sliding to a stop, GREAT! You will be smashing over a metal snow plow causing you to go airborne and having the sled potentially land on you.

I could see where this is going. Major law suit.
