Best and funest sled you have owned!

[LUCKY 7]

My favorite was 1998 600 RMK. Great sled. MY toughest was 1994 440 indy sport short track. I took it 3 times buffalo hunting and it dragged out the first one whole, the other 2 in halves. I would never ever think about taking my 800 pro buffalo hunting.

1981 john Deere liquidfire 440. That thing was a beast! It took the abuse like no other!!! Wild!

My buddy had this one to when I had my 76 cat...we put these two sled through a pounding with out any problems for years. This is when I thought sledding is awesome and all my new sleds will be trouble free...I'm still searching

Had a 97 Summit 500, first sled I rode in the mountains so I will always love that little sled. Liquid cooled with a 136 1.5" and provided many great days in the hills. Learned a lot riding in those days working to get somewhere that the new sleds would walk into without a blink.

I'm with you on the summit 500,I had a a 97 to it was amazing were that little sled went, surprised lots of people where it would go,never left me stranded, steering post broke once but luckily it happen playing on the side of road so I drove right to it,still have it sitting in the corner of the shop.

You rode a kitty cat till you were 20? That is crazy!

Ya I had other sleds from the time I was 8 but I would still rip the kitty kat up and down the road at the lake every so often.

Most fun sleds is a tough decision. Have owned about 30 so far. 2000 mxz 700 was a great trail sled, 2000 Mach Z was way fun on the lakes. I would say best overall sled so far was my 2006 Renegade 800....5300 trouble free miles of smiles. I hope any of my current sleds are half the machine it was.

'99 RMK 700, that thing could take a beating and was very easy to maintain.

96 AC Thundercat. Hooper 1050 big bore with pipes. The rumble in your chest when you pin it was..........horny.

had a buddy with one. if you parked it outside on a cool night you'd have to pour a kettle of hot water over it so you didn't break the recoil

 

[Ronaha]

Very tough decision indeed, in 30 plus years of being on them I had fun on them all and rode them all to state of no repair. My 1973 motoski 340 was the most wretched ever by the time I was 12 it had one ski,half Handel bars, no hood,and still rode it lol

 

[freeflorider]

Sounds like the best times started out on an old school sled, No comparison to the new stuff but it was defiantly fun.

My best too date sled was a single piston Ski-rool long track with 18 hp motor.

Light, simple, frugal, fun and could go many places in the valleys of BC, and every where from Alberta as far East as one could travel.

Yuppers, $400 for that bad boy, and even with a ripped track held together by fencing wire it ran for many years.

There was no such thing as change tracks, skis, broken suspension as we repaired what was there too carry on for the next ride.

Folks didn't have alot of funds back then, so even owning a sled was a novelty.

Elan 250 was our next, and a few good years in cattle and grain prices got us a Skidoo Nordica with electric start, Ha.

Us kids learned tooling if we wanted to ride, pops said that's the way it works.

Work on farm, school work at night, and any extra time was fixing what we wrecked.

A long time ago we had a Elan with carb spitting on you. Sure was fun.

Had boogie wheels so snow did not matter.

I had a couple of those. They would be my worst sleds. 30 hours of wrenching for 1 hour of riding. If you hit any drifts the skis would dig in and send me over the bars. Usually ended up walking home most rides too lol. Managed to sell them for $700 though

I didn't have too many Doo's but did actually get a 5500 Blizzard for my kids when they were young. Never took it anywhere other then they rode it on the acreage. That sled and a Citation. The Blizzard engine in general was pretty solid other then ignition point made it out of date even for its time. The rest of the sled was typical for the time and kinda useless if snow got above your knee LOL. The Citation was much better in that respect. Kids had a good time with both of them pulling GT racers till they broke haha. I sold both of them to a neighbor for around $300 for his kids.

1979 el tigra 6000 was what I grew up with.. Awesome when your 12 years old ripping it at 100 mph in the fields..

 

[Bernoff]

1974 Olimpic
As kids we used to go though like 150gallons of gas a winter.

That was a lot in74.

73 Moto Ski and ya lots of gas. It would take a 12 year old a while to get it unstuck but felt like I was on top of the world.
