I have used many different machines on my remote trapline of 160 km round trip, started with a Tundra R 280, 380 Skidoo, then a 550 Tundra, a 1200 4 stroke skidoo and now 600 Ace Skandic which is the best machine for my use.
The fourstroke out performs the 2 stroke in fuel milage and reliability, and the skandic can pull alot more then a tundra.
Now with 4stroke machines i can run them well past 10,000kms without any concerns about engine failure.
If you’re pulling lighter loads and narrow trails its hard to beat a tundra although the Skandic is only couple inches wider ski stance.
One is a 1/2 ton truck and the other 1 ton.
I average 3500-4000 kms per year running the bush trails.
