I had a trail tour edge last year, my first year here in Ak...put 4000 on it, NO BREAKDOWNS...great, smooth ride, but, when it came to hauling alot of caribou around, it put alot of strain on it at low speeds, etc...
so, looked everything over and polaris seems to have missed the boat on making the wide track water cooled only...so, gotta have a fan cooled machine....storage room, wide ski's, long track/widetrack, 1.25 lugs for climbing the mountains around us that get icy....2 speed trans...soooo, the ski doo looks like the best bet...but, how do you rate it..
one thing, i'm 6'4" and need a tall seat like the polaris has....can you tell me anything about this?....gas mileage, ...AND how it rides since i have a bad back????
my alternative is to: get another trail tour, have the transmission knocked 2 teeth or so down so that i have a higher geared machine to haul and then have a 1.25 lug track put on it for better climbing the icy mountains we have....then iwould have a smooth ride, but, not as much floatation..so i would put 8 in skins o nthe ski's like the edge i had last year, worked pretty good to float....
any idea's....
