LOVE LOVE LOVE my Ski Doo Tundra longtrack.
I am NOT a snowmobile guy..........I know ZERO about them. All I know is that sled goes through and over drifts that it shouldn't......
I love that it doesn't even have a speedometer! Probably never had it over 30 MPH. I dont even wear a helmet! I just chug along.....
Mine has an electric start which adds some weight.....my battery died a few years ago so I just pull it over now, and could live without the key start.
But, it DOES have reverse, which I am not sure I could live without.

But, it DOES have reverse, which I am not sure I could live without. MZ Just bought a 2013 Tundra 550F Sport yesterday! Last day of the sale so I pulled the trigger. Looking for the right trailer now. The places I'll be trailering to and loading/unloading are not nice parking lots or farmer's barn/equipment yards. I only have unplowed, narrow drive entrances to deer hunting properties and old logging trails. I cannot park along side county roads. Can't be too wide, can't be so heavy that I can't manhandle it if and when I get jammed-up trying to manuver. 25 years ago manhandling a trailer with a tongue weight of 150-180lbs wasn't a problem, it is today though! I can find new 6'x12 enclosed from $2400-2700 all day long but too bulky and too heavy! I'm looking close at Triton's single place Elite5 with their matching coverall. |

I know it Mark.
I was just making it a definite statement.
Reverse is almost important to me as forward.

Reverse is not much help if you get stuck and try to back out of that spot. Helps you turn around on hard surfaces. Jim

Are you kidding me.
Reverse is essential when you get stuck.

Reverse is everything when you are stuck. Even if you can't back out, at least you can clear the tread and save several pounds in the lifting and moving.
However, usually you CAN back out. It might take several backwards and forwards but most often you can get it done.

STud you track and it will help alot on the spin outs in reverse.
If I can back my sled up even a little I'll eventually get out.

Reverse is a real time saver, would'nt own a sled without it. Just curious seldom, why choose the 550 over the 600 ace?
