Anyone on here running one of these machines? Similar to the old Bolens Diablo but modernized and refined.What are you thoughts.

There are variations of this on you tube over the past few years, none have taken the market by storm.
$4000 US can buy you a nice used sled. A snowmobile lets you sit down for long rides and shelters you from the cold wind. Other than skidding a log out of the bush I can't think of a practical use for it. Someone had an idea and spent some money on research and design, hope it pans out for him.

Can’t see much of a use for that when I could buy a 2 year old snowmobile used in a rental fleet for the same price. Hell you can find a decent mid 2000s sled for less than 3k.

I agree there are cheaper better options out there , just wondered if anyone on the forum had one and could give an opinion . To me they might have a benefit in that they can go even without snow which might make them a useful tool dragging large game out in the fall in skeg or other wet areas

Yup, nice.
Plowing snow would be such a breeze being able to turn around on a dime with things like these.
