Not much exciting for snow this year, really haven't been able to put the sled to the test yet. Still, liking it overall compared to the old XU Xtreme.
I'm trying to look your sled over and see what you've added in order to install the Chain Saw Holder? Also, I'm not seeing any mirrors, but if I'm missing them, which are you running?
No mirrors. The chainsaw holder needs the rear rack to mount to, and the Xtreme doesn't come with it stock. I had the dealer add it, and the Linq chainsaw holder. www.ski-doo.com/shop/Accessories/storage_racks/racks/chain-saw-holder-rev-gen4-wide-20-equipped-with-tunnel-fixed-rai.html
@@SkeldZ06 Hi again! I'm finally making the order and have one last few questions for you, and by the looks of your rig, you very likely have the answers! Does the cargo rack you have (for the chain saw holder) ALSO come with a trailer hitch? You have the HD Tongue Hitch, where I want to install the J-Hitch: is that installed on the original bumper or did you need to change to the HD Rear Bumper? If so, it's good to know the Cargo Rack and Bumper fit together! What size cargo box did you go with there? I really appreciate it Skeld! You have a set-up I want to duplicate! I'm glad you created this video!
Great video bro, I'm a new sub, definitely need to be prepared were you guys ride and what it looks like your definitely prepared. I only heard about this chain saw mount nice to see one mounted and in action.
Finally! Watched practically all of you videos of the older XU xtreme because I couldn’t find any videos about the new one! I’m debating xtreme vs LE. Or rather 2 stroke vs 4 stroke since chassis-wise they’re practically the same sled. Any wisdom to offer since you’ve got some hands on experience with the xtreme?
I haven't been around the four stroke version much, but I'm not a huge fan of the throttle response on the 900 NA at least. Less weight in the front is good. Main reason to go four stroke to me is if you're a super high mileage guy and you are going to blow up the two stroke in a few seasons. For me I ride 5 to 6k miles in 4 seasons and trade without motor trouble.
Skeld Yeah, reliability is definitely what’s making this a difficult decision. Although I have heard of some 850’s that have 16k miles on them and counting. Thanks for the input!
@@SkeldZ06 Thanks. We've had about 40 feet on Buff Pass here near Steamboat. the 2020 Expedition Xtreme has proved very capable, powerful, easy, and fun.
@@davidshepard2603 Nice. I don't think of it being that great for hillclimbing, but I don't do that much of that. We're lucky to get about 10 feet of snow here but obviously it melts and settles all the time. Maybe 5 feet on the ground would be max.
there is now but the lynx brutal dont have the thing in the back of the track when you are reversing that flips up so you dont get stuck. dont know what its called in english
@@evenkristoffersen6501 We just call it an articulated rail. The Brutal looks cool and I bet it climbs a lot better without the articulated rail...but losing the ability to back up would defeat the purpose of going WT for me personally. I would like to see us get the PPS suspension though.
The consistent blipping of the throttle is hard on the ears. Cool sled though!
Don't have much choice when trying to move slower than engagement speed, and the 850 and is very touchy off idle.
What a sled the extreme is
Love how the dude has his set up
Cool seeing the linq accessories actually being used besides just in commercials
Loves picking through the woods like that breaking trail.great to see a video and Hopefully you get more time on the sled,I assume the gen4 is deadly?
Yes it's a good upgrade over the XU.
Where did you find your LED light bar and bracket to fit on the front? Did you have to fabricate a cross member to make this work? Thxs
It's a Rigid E-Series Pro 10"...bolted to the stock front bumper with RAM Mount hardware.
@@SkeldZ06 Thank you. Found it!
I knew that was you as soon as I heard that rum rum rum.............lol
The Lynx Ranger 69 with 600 mm wide track is also very ekstreme, with BRP 900 ACE with turbo
what saw mount is that? beautiful set up!
How long does your clutch last?
Never had much trouble in the 5000 miles I keep a sled.

Xtreme for me! Utility and flotation!
Why’d you bungee up your snow flap, bud? Around 6:15 i’m just curious and I figure you must know something I don’t haha
That chainsaw setup is awesome
Just in case I needed to back up. The snow flap will get sucked under the track or at least push snow behind you.
What's on the front of your sled? Air deflector?
It's a Rigid 10" light bar

Excellent video
How do you like the performance of the Machine on trail and off trail looking at getting one next season
I'm pretty happy with it. Not as good at climbing or water skipping as a mountain sled.
@@SkeldZ06 Is it the wide 40in or narrow 38 ski stance
Are those the 7.4 skis?
Yes they are
The skandic swt would have no problem
How did your mouth your Rigid light bar ? I am interested to do the same set up
Used Ram mount arms. Bolt through the bumper holds a ball mount, and then there is a ball mount that will thread into the light bar.
dual gps - i hope you wont get lost
Lynx Brutal 850 is a better snowmobil. PPS suspension and å 60 mm hight of the track. A pity that there is no dealers of Lynx in US and Canada.

Just pin it will you never get stuck unless you keep stop go stop go
You ride wide tracks much?
