    Best tunnel bag?

    The Apache case is designed to accept a lock!

    Best tunnel bag?

    Yeah I think it’s unbeatable for under $50! Waterproof and crush proof. It’s darn big in size. Not easy on easy off like the linq accessories, but it’s not like somebody is going to try to unbolt the thing, just take your essentials out of it and inside with you at the end of the day. She loves...

    Best tunnel bag?

    Just waiting on my dad! She didn’t get much ride time on it this year unfortunately to even find out how much she likes it.

    Best tunnel bag?

    Apache case from harbor freight (pelican knockoff) on my mom 14 900 ace renegade. Was on sale for like $30-40 and spent $10-15 on mounting hardware. Previous owner took the linq mounts off, and I drilled thru the case to line up with the linq holes, and the case is raised off the tunnel to clear...

    NOT an April fools joke!

    He loves it!! First thing he wanted to do when we woke up was go ride it again, but all the streets are a slushy mess already, and the railroad grade a few miles west of here that is open for snowmobile traffic despite trails being open or closed, closes to snowmobile traffic on March 31 so...

    4-2 lakewood wi.

    A foot in Greenville (10 miles northwest of Appleton). We had an extra 3-4 hrs of snow yesterday while it was raining in Appleton.

    NOT an April fools joke!

    Solid foot here on the north side of Greenville. We went out for a spin when it started snowing hard yesterday afternoon, came down the hardest between 3-9pm yesterday

    NOT an April fools joke!

    Nothing but rain so far on the northeast side of Appleton (by the 41/441 interchange). At home on the north side of Greenville it’s been solid snow for 2+ hrs. 12 mile difference… crazy!!!

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    Well, my 850 is better on gas by 1-2mpg, and I use 3 times the amount of oil in the 850 as I do the 600. Have not calculated oil ratio closely enough.

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    Sounds like common practice to grease the pto bearing around 5-7000 miles. I’m honestly not that concerned about it with the woman’s 19, I’m more concerned about the insanely low oil usage! Blows my mind a 2 stroke can operate on that but it’s our first 600 etec and everyone says they sip oil.

    NOT an April fools joke!

    The storm tomorrow showed rain for the past week on the forecast models… now out of nowhere today it’s turned to snow. Just listened to Steve Beylon say Green Bay could see a foot or more on the local news and I was dumbfounded as I did not see this coming. He said all the forecast models...

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    I rode my cousins 650 for a few miles. Hard to give it a fair shake as I had just gotten off my 850. Definitely doesn’t have 850 torque but it is very fast revving, faster revving than a 600 etec imo, but no more torque/top end. I feel like the 19 newer 600r etec is pretty much on par with the...

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    Agreed, I’d be ecstatic with a 140hp power plant. I’m still young and like a little more than what a 600 has to offer, 850 is overkill though.

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    Agreed. It’s crazy how well the design holds up for the most part in the 600 platform (unlike the 800s) but I’d love to see them revamp a new motor similar to the 850s. 650-680, 140 horsepower, I’d be the first one at the dealers door to snowcheck the next day LOL

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    900T is turboed. 900 ace non turbo (which is what you have) gets nearly 10mpg better. We got mid 20s consistently with our 2014 120” shorty, was awesome at the pump. Overall, I was disappointed in the fuel economy numbers I’ve seen posted on the 130hp 900T , as it could possibly have been a...

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    From what I’ve read on dootalk, the guys with the 900T (130hp) are only getting 15-18.

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    My 850 actually gets slightly better mileage, 17-18, because I don’t have to use as much throttle to ride at the pace we do. She gets 16-17. I use much more oil than her 600 does though. We definitely are NOT speed demons when riding together, a 600 would definitely suffice, but every once and...

    Tough Sledding at Ski Doo

    Kens in Green Bay has 24 blizzard 600 137” for $12,400. $199 doc fee plus tax. I had money down on a 24 blizzard 850 137” for $13,200 and a $9000 trade in offer from the salesman, but the manager vetoed the trade offer the following day because he didn’t want to take on trades, and was at $7000...

    Who's Been Out

    Ya ain’t lying! I look at it this way, spend the next 8 months wishing I got another ride in or just go do it, even if it means waking up at 4 am and driving 200 miles each way to squeeze some throttles! Both sleds had a half tank, I put a couple gallons in each to start the day and we were able...
