Surprises you on your 75th Bday with something to make running trap line easier.New Snowdog ordered pending shipment.
 Now just need to figure if stock sleds adequate size or need to get 2 Clam Nordic  medium size sleds

That will be a great BD gift.  It will make it a lot easier.

What a trip and from just playing with ( getting familiar) it in the yard this winter is going to be a whole lot easier than trudging thru  crotch deep snow pulling a sled by hand on snowshoes

There are a few vids of the snowdog in action on utube.I met a Russian guy fishing up at the canyon last summer.
 He was a representative for the russian version called the Taiga Dog-Identical basically to the snowdog.
 He was looking for people that would carry the product to sell here.I put him in touch with a couple of dealers locally that I knew.
 Dont know if they took on the product or not.
 
 Let us know how it performs on your line this winter Jingles.
 
 Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I got one last winter mainly for ice fishing. I thought I would probably use it for trapping too. It's great for flat and level - perfect for ice fishing with a friend pulling the sled I'm in, a sled with my gear and him in a sled with his gear. 
 However, we got record snowfall in Utah last year. And when I  tried it on a sloped hilly road with drifts I found it very tipppy and I biffed it several times in a short distance and it worked my arthuritc back and shoulders pretty hard for that ilttle ride. I decided I would keep it on the flat and level. I hope it works well for you and you have a lot of fun on it.
 
 United we stand.

Follow up infoSo far the snowdog is a time saver, energy saver and for me a "life saver"  as eliminated me killing myself hand pulling a sled with 4 cages traps up a mountain side in 18 inches of powder snow wearing snowshoes. With the standard snowdog sled as first sled  and an Otter Pro Series medium  sled as towed sled  this BD present is the cat's meow for running the line.
 Mine is the Sport B13MER 13 HP Briges engine with reverse  using 2 2 x 8 ramps for loading into bed of truck flip the sleds over on top and 2 small ratchet straps keep everything in place with room for traps beside the machine. The otter medium is only about an in wider on each side than the snowdog sled so runs in pretty much same track as  first sled and with the otter sled having deeper walls doesn't get the snow build up the snowdog sled does, do have to find something to put down on the inside to reduce feet from slipping and sliding on the plastic with the snow that builds up. Thinking of just painting inside of sled inside bottom with a non skid paint when winter is over.

Glad it is working out for you Jingles!!!   Outstanding.  I haven't needed to use mine yet, but I want to in the worst way.   I'm waiting to get snow and I have a lot of work for it to do and also for trapping and fishing.  
 I really like mine and it works great for what I need a track machine for.

  Try  some   old  pieces  of  tire  or  snowmachine  drive belt glued to  the  plastic.  Maybe  a  piece  of old  inner tube.   We  always   used   stuff  like  that to  stand  on  the top of  dogsled  runners.  Not  slippery  and  you can  kick the compacted snow  off
