Default Towing a Jet Sled

Is it weird to be thinking about ice season when its still so warm

I want to be able to pull my jet sled behind my skidoo, is the hitch bar that shappell makes the best way to go?

I have one similar for my otter sled. You can go cheaper if you just use some rope with plastic conduit over the rope. Sometime I pull two sleds (second one is ice tent) and have the rope/conduit set up on the second one.

Always use a hard hitch, never just rope. The sleds will slide into your machine when you slow down or stop.

That is why you put the plastic pipe over the rope.

If you pay attention you can get by with rope for cripes sake. Maybe just avoid slamming on the brakes? If you are towing thru the hills on a hard pack trail a hitch is a good idea, not a necessity there either tho. The 2inch water line with rope threaded thru works. No need to spend a fortune. If the snow is nice and fluffy the sled will stop when you stop.....
