Snowmobile jacks

[Spike38]

Any one using one of these jacks. Yes I get stuck, sometime real stuck. I would like a little input on the Snowbuddy which is a take apart unit. I would perfer a take down unit as I do not want to have the jack hanging off my sled. My back is getting old and weak and freinds are few and far between when I am stuck. The bastages just laugh and take pictures.

I have a Highlift but just keeps getting in the way when riding and moving from side to side.
Thanks Mike

We have been riding with this one for years, don't even know it's there, you need to mount yours correctly if it bothers you...

You buy one of those break down models and your asking for problems...

Thanks
That what I have and yes it is mounted correct. I have it mounted as close to the tunnel as I can. What trouble have you seen with the take down units.

hey jack

that break down is gonna completely clog up with snow and freeze....the second time you go to use it you will be cleaning ice out of it if you can, you know how snow sticks to metal, and on a big powder day you may have to use it quite a bit, constantly cleaning and repacking....no fun especially in some gully somewhere at sundown.....i have had the highjacker on my sled about 5 years, never failed or broken....or gets in the way and I have a sz 14 boot, you have to mount it so the pole goes right above the ankle
