Cheap Snowmobiles in the BACKCOUNTRY | Gone Wrong
We are testing out some cheap classic snowmobiles to the test on Rabbit Ears Pass! Watch as we attempt to let her eat with these old-school beauties and discover if they really "don't make them like they used to."
Experience the ups and downs as we:
• Battle to start these classic machines
• Test their performance in fresh powder
• Face mechanical challenges in the snow
• Compare them to modern sleds like the 850
From parking lot shenanigans to trail troubleshooting, this adventure proves that vintage sledding isn't always smooth sailing - but it's always entertaining! Despite some mechanical hiccups and an unexpected "blackhawk down" moment, these classic machines showed us exactly why they've earned their legendary status.
What's your take on vintage vs modern snowmobiles? Share your thoughts in the comments below, and don't forget to subscribe for more snowy adventures and classic sled action!

    Myself, I just never got it with snowmobiles, they are seasonal, have gotten ridiculously heavy, easy to get stuck, hard to get out. I've noticed in Canada where my wife and I go fishing, it has switched to side by sides in the snow, ice fishing in the last years.

    If people want the additional features, be they on a pickup or a sled, then offer them as separate OEM add-ons. Manufacturers did this regularly until the 2010s.

    Well lets now forget they all have had some issues regardless of the brand. Polaris probably has a few more with motor and clutch bolts but trust me I have seen them all get pulled out of the mountain on the end of a rope.

    In 1984 I fell in love with snowmobiling. In 1989 I sold all of my snowmobiles because I had completely fallen out of love. Why? Because they are unreliable piles of crap. Every ride was completely over-shadowed by the worry "what is going to break today?" And to pour salt in the wound, every time I relied on a supposed a snowmobile mechanic, things went sideways. So I gave up. And that was 1989, when there were no online video games to play instead. Currently, if any elective activity goes completely sideways, there are MANY other options. I can find something else to do. And all I need to do is sit on my ass. Play video games for roughly free, or pay $10/mile (effectively) to risk a likely breakdown 50 miles from noplace? Hey mom, which should I do? This year I got back into snowmobiling (after 36 years) because they're a lot of fun, and because if I do get that breakdown, then I'll die peacefully as an old man freezing to death in the snow rather than screaming in pain from who know what cancer.

I saw him on UA-cam one time but I still don't know how to get them because it was a long time ago and I didn't have the money then to buy them now I'm getting together some money to buy some.

    the one thing arctic cat always had was superior handling. that's what made them such great race sleds. however if you went out for a ride with a guy riding one you always made sure to bring your green tow rope(i wish i was kidding). because every year was essentially a prototype... again that's what kept them in front at the race track. how many years did Polaris's Fugi engines stay in the lineup? same with their domestic engines. when your out in the wilderness there's one thing that trumps all... dependability. the real problem is the purification of north American boys... thanks single moms. mom's don't care about boys becoming men.

  • @Dave-n4b
    @Dave-n4b 3 дні тому

    for the same reason Harley Davidson is dying... really... 60k for a motorcycle. sleds aren't far behind. it used to be if you were 15 you went out and bought a $200 used sled and away you went. even if you can afford the $30,000 sled and the $80,000 dollar truck to haul it and the plate and the snow pass and the $1,000 worth of riding gear and the fuel for the truck and the sled your probably too old to ride anyway. these companies priced themselves out of the market. young boys have no money or drivers licenses. their entire lives exist on social media. then their is the end of the two stroke engine ended the thrill of riding a hundred miles an hour on a light, low to the ground, bullet. the new sleds basically have to be ridden like a dirt bike... standing up. the heavy 4 strokes just didn't give you the same thrill. then the final knife in the back is all the regulations and safety crap. scaring yourself was always a big part of sledding. sleds were always quick. you tell me... why would you want to blast across a frozen lake at a hundred miles an hour, a foot off the ground on a machine with essentially no suspension? young men now a days are afraid of their own shadows and have absolutely no balls. they don't even go outside let alone risk their lives having fun with other guys. I'm not even sure your aloud to have fun anymore.

We have ruff trials and difficult terrain her i the Nordic countries. The snowmobiles from N.America has soft suspension, just lika your cars, thats why your cars don`t sell in Scandinavia. The quality of the cars is not as good as i should be. A Lynx last fore dekades. I live north of the Polar circle in North of Norway.
