Don't know how you perceived that...

Sorry to burst your fantasy.. LOL

Sorry bud, no fantasy. There's a slim chance I read all the Doo posts wrong from you and maxwell, but I have my doubts. Hey, I can admit when I'm wrong, but you gotta admit how it looks.

How about those arctic cats? Third place is a mother fawker. Just stuck sand bagging for years, no one argues they make the best sleds right, they are like woah woah woah. 3rd place is perfectly fine.

For instance??
Please put up a link or 2 of me being super blinder brand loyal....or shut it.

Sure I take pokes like everyone else, but you seem to label me with something I am not.

Maxwell I feel with the limited time I have right now with running an OK Tire store and Parkland, sleds are supper busy and so is OK Tire. When I do have time to come on this site I seem to find alot of useless threads and the ones that start good turn to **** in a real hurry. My best bud rides a XP and just checked a T3 and I ride a pro but never had a argument about brands. He has broke **** and so have I, every XP or XM need clutch service at 500 miles and PRO and Dragons need pistons at 1500 to 2000 miles big fkn deal. They all have problems, I PREFER to ride a PRO its about what feels good to YOU. So that's it bud that's how I feel I my self haven't had a motor or anything go down In the mountains since my purple edge chassis with a 900 cat twin. There is no place a XM will go that a pro will not until the new T3. And if you think its because of the etec or the chassis than than you are not the smart young man I hold you to be. Anything with a 174x3 inch will preform well in deep snow.

I have a serious question.. for those who have rode the T3 174 or peeps who have put a 174 3" on a different sled. Do you lose anything for flotation and when you do get stuck is it a mofo to get out? I noticed last year I was on a 162" and when i planted it it was harder for me to roll out of my crater or ski pull out than when I was on my 155. I haven't rode a 174 so I have no reference point. Oo also in the trees is there an advantage or disadvantage with the longer track length? I'm super curious and do want to try out a 174.

sounds legit. polaris are usually +-1.5k cheaper. leaves a guy some wiggle room in the wallet for useless chit like snowest memberships and 174x3 modifications. that said ever heard that saying you get what you pay for LOL.

Me , I like the snowest forum , you ever notice how if "You" don't , ride it, read it, wear it, eat it, listen to it, drive it, drink it, buy it, ( getting my point yet) , it's useless, and junk , and people are fools for indulging that product or manufacturer.
Immaturity, takes some people longer than others to grow out of it, some don't, Good luck, seems to be a struggle for ya.

As far as rolling over a good trick is to keep a little throttle on as your rolling it over so it will chew it's way out of the hole. Super dangerous so be careful I only do it until it's about half way over never flip it onto the bars or you could be in trouble. I find it interesting that you had a harder time with the ski pull. Typically the longer deeper lug sleds need less effort on the ski tug and they pop right into the snow rather than chewing forward. In the trees there is mainly positive gains however the longer the sled the longer the turning radius so of your going up down or across its not an issue but if you need to do a downhill button hook to go back up it will take more room to do so than the 154. But an advantage to that is that you can actually turn around and go back up much easier than the 154. Also 174 machines tend to stay planted more so than 163 and 154 machines so doing the old uphill whip and come down in your same track is a little more tricky.
