How to weight a snowmobile

[tstams]

Where could I buy a scale or a hanging scale to weight are sleds off a car lift or a beam?

UFA - livestock scale.

Take your sled down to one of the freight carriers and ask if you can put it on their scale.

If you can try to mimic the numbers Cat did last year when they hung them from a tree after riding a few hours to see how much more the weighed with ice and snow on them. Interesting to see some non-biased results on this.

I bought a 600lb crane scale on eBay cheap.

So after riding for a while and all the others were packed with snow and ice....and the Cat ended up being the lightest of the bunch.....you doo-lickers, of course say it was a biased test......how predictable....

Actually the Poo lickers were the real butt hurt ones if you go back and read that thread.
For the record, I currently don't own a sled so I have no dog in this at all-just interested in purely educational tests done by someone not affiliated with ANY manufacturer.

Only by a bit luke. Lol

Did end up buying one thanks for the help, I will post pictures of the sleds and there wieght when we do them should be pretty intresting I won't be doing them out in the bush like the cat guys did but they will be full of fuel ready to ride!

Snow weight is a lot easier and cheaper to loose than real weight....LMAO

My question is, why does it matter? Just knock the excess snow and ice off.
