I switched my 40v lazer bit out for a 10″ chipper, its slower but works just fine. I have the same issue with dirty ice in ND.

I have a 6×10 ice trek (very similar to aluma-lite) skid house and an otter lodge. I use my tracked ranger or snowmobile to pull them. I set my ice castle up on shore at lake of the woods for the winter and go out every day with the ranger or sled. I much prefer running the skid house. Last year the only time I used the otter is when we loaded up and went to other lakes. The skid house is much more comfortable to fish out of. You can surely tell you are pulling it, but I do not think it has stopped me from fishing any of the spots that I want to fish, and we do not stay close to shore 8-10 mile runs if not longer. I think you may have some trouble with the wheeler in deep snow if it is on tires but the snowmobile will pull it just fine.

Just updated the ad, $49,700.
