I've heard of bringing a spare sled but that's taking it to a new level
I have a newbie question, I guess-- I'm sure there's a good reason for doing it this way but can someone tell me why not just disconnect the belt and pull out by tying onto the a-arms? Is it because there wasn't another person to steer or...? Or maybe to lose the drag of the track? Any education on why this was the chosen method is appreciated...who knows, I may be in that situation someday. Thanks.![]()
It is far easier to pull a dead sled like that. On a trail, you are correct with your method. Cross country in the powder and climbing hills you will get stuck easily. This method is also great for when you have something in the track or drive train break where the track will not turn. The hill in the video is know as V-max hill. We have hooked 10-12 machines nose to tail to try to pull a dead sled up and out of there. Most often when done in the video, a single machine can pull a sled up and out. Alot of the dead weight of the dead sled is on the running one to aid in traction, and is that much less dead weight being pulled. To only way to get one out of the back country. Like was said above, take the time to pull the bolt that holds the ski on and turn them around backwards. Makes for a much easier time.
