ATV or sled

[tater0025]

I used ATV's for years and got tired of getting stuck (when the snow was as high as the belly pan). So I sold them and bought a snowmobile only to find they get stuck too. They each have there pros and cons.
The snowmobile is faster, less messy(not as much slush flying in the air) and better for pressure cracks.
The ATV is better for road travel if no parking by lake, easier to transport equipment (no sleigh to pull, just build a box) and when you do get stuck you have a winch to pull you out if needed (you'd have to auger a hole and drop a bar down but that's another subject)
If I had to do it again I'd probably buy a ATV

Hi guys and thanks for your suggestions. Now I found a ATV, good condition and low KM's and fits my budget. Nice right, wrong he has no ownership and hes the second owner. How hard is it to get the ownership tansferred if he does not have the papers.
Also, if I plan to use this for icefishing do I need plates on it to drive on the ice, i know I will need insurance

If he wants to sell it, get him to go to the MTO licence office and licence it. That way it's checked to see if it's "hot" and not on your dime.

Hot potatoe...Run ..LOL...

Yes, great idea, get him to do the declaration and sign off for the ownership...if he won't ...walk away...

You will need ownership, insurance and a helmet to drive on the ice, unless you own the pond.
