Bought a Pelican Snow Trek 60 last week at Canadian Tire for 37.48+hst. I Had a rain check for it but it still rang in at the previous week sale price. So, I still have a rain check if anyone wants it. they are 74.99 regular price.

I bought one too at 1/2 price, a good deal! I called about the optional tow bar, it was too expensive so I'll make my own.

 

somebody should take Purenewf up on his offer

Shappell Jet Sled 1 is about the same size at 54" X 25" X 10" and is regular price at BassPro for around $37 if I remember correctly, bought one earlier in the season. Has a more gradual taper so it may be easier to put as well.

I kept the original pull rope on my Otter,but guys if your loaded down like I am most times,I added two corner loop pull ropes.No more hitting heels,A guy off to each side.25-30 min walk,makes the pull so much easier. Just a thought.

Snow Trek 45 sled
December 28, 2009
"These sleds are garbage. Save your money or buy one that is wider. They are very tippy in deep snow and securing a load in them (ex. power ice auger) is next to impossible. I have two I would gladly sell."

Any sled will be 'tippy' without a towbar attached to it. With a towbar, I can't see how that's even possible.

Yup. I broke trail into a back lake through 3 feet of powder the other day and it worked great lol

I think the Pelican 45 is more of a hand pull sled. I have a couple. I like the small size because I can put two in the back of my GMC Jimmy without having to fold the seats down. It works well for me; I have not tried using it behind a vehicle.
