I may have one if you didn’t find one yet.

Looks like things are starting to open up. Anyone riding the STP trails?

Arctic Cat just announced a recall for their 800 cc sleds due to a possible fuel rail leak and fire 2019-2023 8000s.

Hmm I am towing a 716, so 3000 lbs max. I have a 350 hp pickup truck now but looking for options. This trailer doesn’t have electric brakes but I could add them if necessary. 3000 lbs wears out the front brakes on a lot of vehicles if you aren’t careful but front brakes aren’t expensive if you don’t use the stealership.

Does anyone use a 6 cyl Toyota or Lexus SUV as a tow vehicle? Anything to consider?
-
I found this video interesting. Apparently we need a little tongue weight!

I hope your friend makes a full recovery. The police should be able to track the other rider down based on the parts they are going to need replaced if they can commit the resources. Should need a left side ski leg or left side parts, maybe blue panels. Disgusting they didn’t stop and help your friend. 80kms, could have been a lot worse too I guess!

My vote is for the triton tc167. Only 7 wide so not catching tons of air and will fit two sleds of any size. Super lite. Pull behind sport Ute easily. Might be exspensive but you’ll probably never have to buy another one unless you get into hauling 3 or 4 sleds
X3. I have a TC167 and it’s only a couple hundred pounds heavier but it will carry 3 sleds in a pinch. Looks very similar to that Bullett trailer. I have never pulled it with a four banger and don’t know anyone who has, having said that it’s probably only 3000# loaded but you may have to budget for new front brakes every spring hauling with a lighter vehicle or buy one with trailer brakes.

Sounds like a 12 foot aluminum clam is what you are looking for unless you have a decent towing capacity.
Here is another suggestion: Triton TC128-LR Ramp rear door and 14 inch wheels. Weighs 1000# and will carry 2000#.

West side of Sudbury is hovering around zero. Expecting 10-15 cm this afternoon but we need a lot more than that with some cold temps! I haven’t been there in more than a week but my camera at camp doesn’t look like we lost that much snow. North of Barrie is +2 and pouring rain! Feeling lucky I have an enclosed trailer this year! How about the east side Soup?

The weather is March like. Good luck tomorrow. Let us know how you make out. I have less than 300 kms on this winter.

The trails are brown around Barrie. Sudbury maybe?
-
Yes it’s a seasonal road. Billy goat steep.

His GPS directed him to trail 201 (5th conc.) north of Horseshoe Valley Road. Lucky it didn’t tell him to drive off an embankment!

Step off the trails and there is quite a bit. There was maybe 3 inches of fresh snow last night too. They have something to work with. Not as much snow as a normal year but not too bad either. Maybe winter will return.

I heard the club only grooms that piece Thursday. Not sure if that’s correct but that’s the word on the street. Maybe get a dentist to sponsor that piece, lots of fillings will shake loose.

And, C 111 D from Cartier to 56 was rough today but past 56 to Capreol was in great shape.
-
Fwiw, C 111 D was groomed today as far as Cartier anyway. Windy lake isn’t staked yet and has plenty of random slush spots. I would think it could be staked soon. There are no permanent huts on Windy lake in the usual spots.

Yes it’s a decent app that could help one of us if we get into trouble. I worked emergency services, they just need to know where to find us.
-
There is a free app, IOS and Android that allows emergency services to locate you anywhere like a gps. It has three words assigned for every 3M square piece of land anywhere in the world. It works without data as long as it’s loaded already. If you are stuck broken down or injured on a sled, hiking or hunting in a remote area, maybe think about loading the app. It looks perfect for sledding, even off trail.

TC167, light and tows easily, not too big. Sounds like everyone that has one likes it. Great for two sleds and a third in a pinch. I store three sleds all summer and my clam fish hut too on a 2x4 shelf. You will need some thin paneling on the inside or risk denting it while working inside. Yes it’s 5 feet high inside but it’s not a camper! If I only had one sled that would still be the trailer I bought.

I think I would take it for a drive on a bumpy road and see if it loosens up. When a torsion axle wears out the tires start to wear! The pic with the rubber is what’s inside so maybe it can be broken loose. You have nothing to lose by trying it! I replaced mine at the manufacturer but Princess auto should have something reasonable too. If you take it off for replacement, get a new piece of thin sheet insulating material if it’s dissimilar metal. Good luck.

Sudbury conditions?

I was at camp this week and kept on the lake. The trails are pretty thin, specially in the sun.
