So apparently the timber sleds are very common overseas (called timmerdoning skoter) however they are just not marketed in the US for some reason....
Thanks for reminding me about Rope's posts. I went back and looked at some of his older posts and he was using the UMHW sleds. Looks like most of...
Sad days. Sears was the iconic store back in the day, large enough to have motorcycles, cars, snowmobiles, etc. rebranded and sold under their...
Hardcore. RIP Commander. [ATTACH]
It's still something to think about. I didn't know you could register the same machine as both (the last time I had talked to a conservation...
Unfortunately, the only video I could find with a timber sled (on skis) was taken on an ungroomed trail with what looks like fresh powder, so the...
Great points. I guess I could drop in and talk to the club staff and see if they had any issues one way or the other. They run a lot of guided...
Had a successful morning scouting for future scrounges and marked around 20 trees. Got home and figured I need to clean up some of my remaining...
I've been thinking about what you said regarding the raised runners. I doubt I'll pull the trigger on a timber sled or UMHW sled this season due...
They ranged from around 6" up to 16/18" in diameter so plenty of timber. I just won't know the quality of the wood until I get in there with the...
Well weather looks like it is going to put this project on hold for at least the near future. Supposed to have torrential rain Saturday into...
Fond memories of tending (and sitting around) the old pot-bellied wood stove in the basement of our house. Autumn was always my favorite time of...
I've run snowmobiles enough over the years so no issues breaking new trails and no issues hauling (pic below is at the bottom of a decent slope...
I was looking at just bulk sheet prices on UMHW and even those prices are outrageous. The UMHW freight sled is almost the cost of a full timber sled.
Was that homemade sled completely flat-bottomed or did you have runners on it? Love those old homemade wooden sleds, so much more durable than the...
Hauling rounds out isn't an issue as I've done plenty of that with the snowmobile and have swivel Y tow arms for both sleds. As noted in the OP,...
I have the 2021 Stihl catalog in front of me and there is no mention of a non m-tronic version of the 400 in it.
Wasn't sure what section to post this in so figured I would put it under 'hobbies and interests'. Looking for some feedback from those who have...
Mid-twenties with a fresh coat of powder overnight. Made for nice views with the morning cup of coffee. Started the Regency with red maple and...
About half again as much for a front mounted blower than a 3-point system however so nice on a day like today when the wind is whipping and the...
