Arctic cat bear cat it

I just picked up a 1191 Polaris Indy Lite, 340 for $800.00, compression great, Tunnel great, good clean machine for exactly the reason you said. I plan to go off trail hunting and wanted a light sled to be able to push pull and dig out if needed. It is 2 stroke, oil injected and is a blast to ride so far. It has a almost new track with about two inch paddles. So far it is solid and almost too fast for this 53 yr old body. The two stroke nature of the beast help to power to the snow quickly and almost makes it ride on top of the 12" of light powder we have now in Ottawa.

[QUOTE=toddy;1005622]15 inch wide track.

Scratchers are a must if your running on bare ice. Studs help a bit with cooling but do nothing for the sliders.[/QUOTE

MIne is fan cooled so I can get away with a bit of running on bare ice. I usually fill the track with whatever snow I can find, and when I drill holes throw the slush in there too. It helps, but its still hard on them. I've heard of guys using dish soap too....never tried it. I haven't melted my sliders off yet, but they took a beating last year.

Buy the winch kit or at least a come-a-long, when you get stuck, you'll be there for a while. Unless you're Hercules, no way one guy can pick up the rear end, never mind the front end.

I live North of Sudbury and fish brookies in the backlakes i do carry a come-a-long and shovel but this machine has never let me down it breaks trail with ease flat land or hills.I now have 2000 kms on it with no problems also .Key to not getting stuck is not too spin the track when you feel machine slowing down in deep snow just stop and back up and then go forward again you will never get stuck with this method.

You will get stuck sooner or later, trust me. We all do. Your beast will need a come along for sure. I'm sure its great in deep snow though......we carry an electric winch on our Alpine LOL....it goes anywhere, but once its stuck, light it on fire!! LOL
