And yes, my interest will waiver depending how the season unfolds. I've been saying this for awhile as much as I love it. Time will tell.

Strong Farmer Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 If south central don’t get snow this winter, then I can see Lots throwing towel in. Already starting to see changes in south that I don’t like. Seems snow line has moved north use to be south of 401. Now line seems to be highway 86 area and north. Hasn’t been much riding below this line in, last four or five winters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is causing this ? Some still like to deny it is happening but we have Ohio weather here now. It sure as hell was not like this in the 60's. You know there are trails around Strathroy that must have been made in the late 60's - early 70's. When was the last time anyone rode those trails ? It has to be COLD to keep snow and I have not seen a lot of that lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 12 hours ago, Turbo Doo said: How come you guys say this?. The huge demand for toys this year, sleds, trailers, boats, ATV's and RV's is people spending the money on recreational toys that they would have normally spent on travel vacations. Then you have the snowbirds staying home this winter who are buying the sleds to keep occupied. There's now a vaccine about to be approved and distributed. The snowbirds will be going south next winter and no longer have an interest in the sleds and sled trailers they bought for this year.

Like so many others of course due to the covid equation.. Special orders aside, they told me that 3/4 of their triton inventory order was cancelled. The alxe factory closed down due to covid.

Although we regularly load from the back. My 2020 Triton PR 147, can be loaded unhooked without any issues. The double axle trailers, as mentioned are designed to distribute the weight over the axles. Our PR147 actually tows, and has better weight distribution then our older TC167. Our 2017 Triton XT 147, i have had a 2019 MXZ X 850, a 2018 MXZ Blizzard 850, and a 2018 MXZ blizzard 900 ace inside the trailer. 2 sleds with tracks on ramps, and 1 sled sitting entirely on trailer floor. What is the length of your PR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alxe factory closed down due to covid. I ordered a replacement axle for my triton trailer (02 3 sled open). Old axle had surge brakes, and would be almost double to fix as opposed to install new axle with electric brakes. Axle was special order, came in about 4 weeks. When picking up, dealer said Alumite had dozens of trailers built in the yard waiting for tires to come so they could finish them and deliver.

It has to be COLD to keep snow and I have not seen a lot of that lately. Not sure and I don’t think anyone knows exact answer either. We are currently part of a global warming trend that is changing weather patterns here in ontario and Canada. Niagara use to get lots of snow too and now not even cold enough to make ice wine yet. So not sure what is going on to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I've heard anyone else say " Ontario has Ohio weather". Thanks, BP. Why? Because wind's come up from the south. We're getting Ohio Valley weather. It is what it is. Definitely warmer. No more 9 ' plowed snowbanks just north of Barrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought my first enclosed car trailer from them, back when they were in the north end of Brampton, good experience. When I bought my sled trailer, Edge in Bradford had a really good price on the Triton's compared to Reinhart and bought from them instead.

When i ordered the trailer, i upgraded to the coated flooring. The floor in my trailer is coated inside and out, essentially the plywood is coated before going into the trailer. So there is no exposed wood whatsoever, and its pretty stud and carbide resistant. Is the coated floor smooth or textured to prevent slipping ?
