I thought of a few other things. Not that these are anything of an engineering marvel but the fact that it gets kids involved with the sport...
120 and now 200 are great for the kids. My boys really enjoyed there 120!
The Equinox 685 snow coach. I know Cat had snow cutters and others had there's too but none had the suspension that the 685 had.
When I had mine the boys were constantly told how cool it was and lucky they were! It drew a lot of attention.
I did an American Snowmobiler Magazine Group ride back in 2018 with the snow coach. The kids were being kids and taking forever to get ready we showed up about two minutes late, but of course, everyone else had been the for a good 20 minutes. Even though everyone had helmets on I could feel the looks of "oh great this guy is going to be holding us up...". I jump in at the back of the line and the group leader quickly realizes he has some very experienced and not-so-experienced riders. Within about 10 minutes he broke the group up into a fast and a slow group. I jump up to the back of the faster group each stop sign guys would shuffle a bit to try to fine-tune the order a bit. I end up riding in the third spot the rest of the day out of about 25 sleds. At lunch I had multiple guys come up and say that could not believe how well the sled and coach handled the twist trails. At the very end, the two guides offer to take people off-trail areas and forest roads (nothing groomed) I went with 5 others. We had a road crossing with about a 5' drop and then back up the other side. I made it without any problems and the kids said it was fun!
