Sleds are safer that’s for sure but I don’t see how a sled could hold everything. I know most guys in the Midwest and Canada do It but they almost always pull a sled and they can only run 2 lines for the most part. Tipups and a big baitwell both take up a bunch of room.

It’s a load for sure but I’m under the rack ratings, I figure I’m 250 with all my gear on, my pop up and bait well are on a carrier I made that fits in the receiver hitch. I’ve been considering springs. I’m hoping I don’t have to do clutch work because once Ice fishings done for the year it’s goin back to normal but I’ll do what I have to do.

I’ve never weighed everything but I would guess 5-600lbs with me on it. It’s a 2020 se700, i have the shock tightened all the way up. But it still squats some. I’ve heard that about clutching and I will if I need to but I think most of what I have read on it was from guys trail riding or deep mudding. I don’t really care about performance I just want to not have to use my winch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chains are great if your going slow and not going too far! This year was the worst! It seemed like every tournament we fished for a month and a half had the same conditions 6-10” of snow with 6” of water under it then the ice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They keep coming up, you have chains or studs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They’re nice for early ice and small lakes but not really meant for running 10 miles down a lake. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes but they’re rough riding and a pain taking on and off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a snowmobile, problem with a snowmobile is all my gear needs to get towed behind in a sled. It adds a huge pain having to load everything in and out of the sled for transport and once you start pulling a sled with a couple hundred pounds of gear the abilities of a snowmobile are diminished in deep snow/slush.

I’ve posted on a couple other atv forums but figured I would put my question up here as well. I’m looking for the ultimate tire setup for my 700 kodiak for ice fishing duties. I fish a lot and fish a bunch of tournaments so often I can’t just not go if the ice conditions suck “slushy or deep snow etc.” I put almost 400 miles on my wheeler this ice fishing season so it gets ridden a lot and often on long runs up and down lakes especially pre fishing for tournaments. The last 2 years I’ve ran the stock 25” tall tires with chains on all 4’s and it’s worked but I’m tired of dealing with them and

Ever shot a turkey gun with one on it Bill? It’s definitely a game changer! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do you know it doesn’t help? From what I see most hunters that kill a buck can/do kill 2 if they want. The old 90% are killed by 10% theory. None of it effects me very much because none of it really matters in the big woods. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From everything I’ve gathered from this thread, absolutely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
