With all those miles consider yourself lucky on that belt. Had you ever changed it out, as a maintenance item, or how many miles did you have on it?

I bought the sled before last winter with 2200 miles on it, it came with the belt on it plus a spare. I switch between the belts every 1500 miles giving one a break, haven't bought one for it yet, and, well, the sled has 7200 miles on it now and still the 2 original belts LOL

Wife and I started from home and were going to go to the lake. Trails were a little choppy so we went towards our clubhouse to see if they were out. One was and the Tucker was sitting there so I asked her if she minded if I groomed and she said , to my surprise , only if I can come along.She absolutely loved it so we spent 7 hours in it and even let her drive. Was hard to let sleds sit today but knew with it being a Saturday grooming would be appreciated by alot of sledders, and we got alot of friendly waves.

Way to go! I've often thought I'd like to groom. You can still be on the trail, and it makes you feel good when you do things for others that they enjoy. I'm sure you made a lot of people happy today, and you probably had more "quality" time with your wife on that groomer than you would have had doing anything else today.

time, yes, money, no LOL I save up all summer long just to ride I'm a kid, dont have no bills just got to keep my truck and sled running. so the SMALL amount of money I do make right now just barely keeps me going but that will all change come the end of the school year.
Ah, I'm just jealous! Two kids into every sport there is, takes all my time, and money. I'll be lucky to get up north this year. Maybe in a couple weeks, if the snow is still here.

I understand, it sucks sometimes. I used to play every sport too, slowly started quitting. It started with basketball because EVERY friggin basketball tourney we had, there was a snowstorm that weekend! I just wanted to snowmobile so that sport was gone first LOL I now don't play any, just like to make money to enjoy my toys. Glad I don't play sports either because I would not be in the job situation I am right now. The guy that trains me said on Friday "I can pretty much 100% guarantee you they will be giving you an apprenticeship next fall". Still got to go to work with the mindset though that I could be gone this summer and try and learn as much as I can (there's 5 "youth apprentices" we are technically only employed there until the school year is done. they can choose to keep a few and offer them an apprenticeship or choose to not keep any really).
Ok enough of that, back to the miles, I mean smiles
