Does anyone run the Ski Doo Tundra's on thier lines ??? I am a Polaris guy and have been looking at the 550 Tundras, they look like a pretty good Machine.
I run a 2010 Tundra 550 so far without issues. The only thing I find is it can be a little tippy and the windshield isn't very big. Other than that though, I'm happy so far.
My main ride and I have a couple different year models. Rob only finds them tippy because he wasn't weaned on the old tundra's! What they are is responsive and I love the handling. The windshield however does suck but a little trapper ingenuity can fix that.
Do you guys have a well packed trail ? or is there any trick to ride them in powdery snow ?
I'm asking cause I had one for one day, and the cutline I had to go trough had about 4 feet of unpack snow, and the front end kept sinking. That was a hell of a day.
The tundra has an adjustable clutch for different snow conditions. Once you know how it's as easy as turning a dial to compensate for conditions. I ride in deep mountain powder often.
I trap out at Nordegg and we do get some huge snowfalls and lots of powder. I always had a Polaris and was able to break trail when my partner was unable to with his Ski doo, your correct, he could not keep the front end up and the snow was coming in and getting his belt wet and slipping. But if the clutch is adjustable that might do the trick....Thanks Brian.
These new tundras with the 550 or the 4 stroke are a lot better in the deep powder than the older single cylinders . The track is longer and wider and more power. I changed the gear ratio on mine and really like it. It starts off nice and slow with no track spin even pulling a load.
I have a couple of Polaris wide tracks I use when some heavy hauling is required, the low range transmission is great and a 20x159 track makes quite a footprint.
