16 wide track 162. Anything 15 wide less than 174" long is a trench machine.

I'm not doubting you, your knowledge, or your riding skills. But do your really want to bet, that a 15" 155 will trench less than a 16" 154??? 2011 or older, to about 04 or so???

No..I'm saying a 155 15 wide will trench worse than a 16 wide 155. Larger surface and paddle area pulling you forward and on top of the snow

Sorry my friend, but I do beg to differ..... I doo understand the concept of a 16 wide, but the attack angle, track and rider can make a difference. My 155 trenches way less then my old HME 159, or any 154 XP I have ever rode. Why all manufacturers don't go to a 16 wide is beyond me :confused:
Don't get me wrong, I still love Doo. But my dragon has put a new smile on my face :D
I have found that an 11 Poo Pro 155 trenches more than my 10, and I believe that it ALSO has to do with having 4 injectors over 2. Which gives more bottome end grunt and torque. Which does not make the sled trench.
