Hello All!! I will try and answer a few of your questions in regards to the SnoBear. You can expect to get about 80 miles out of a tank of fuel–that’s what mine is anyways depending on conditions of course. As for the slush question–I have had mine in slush but I haven’t been stuck in slush yet and let’s hope that doesn’t happen. In all honesty, I have been close to being stuck in there tho. They do go through it pretty good but I have yet to see a track machine be great in that heavy stuff. I certainly try to avoid the slush if at all possible. As for the going up and down question–I have not had any problems with mine at all and I leave mine outside just about all winter. I do go underneath and try to get alot of ice chunks out tho–I hear your point–If it’s at all possible to thaw those rigs out every so often that would be your best bet for not breaking/bending anything. The SnoBear will comfortably fish three and I have a canvas enclosure(fish house) out the back of mine that folds up tight to the SnoBear when not in use. So, I can fish 5 people in my unit. Overall, I am super happy with my SnoBear and I enjoy it more and more the more I use it! It simply is the way to go for me at this time.
You are correct too, the price is around $40,000.
I am heading to the lake right now so I probably won’t be back on here until tomorrow evening. If you have any other questions, let me know. I will be happy to try and answer them for you.
