A New Way To Hit The Back Country

I would love one of these!

It is definitely something I would like to thoroughly test drive in all kinds of conditions. I am wondering about maneuverability. The videos did not show or highlight that as a feature. Here in the northeastern woods, that can be an important criteria. To me it looked like you are standing in a very light plastic sled trying to turn the much heavier power unit. On ice, I have to wonder how well that works. Perhaps a test drive could put those concerns aside.

The coolest looking ice-fishing transportation that I have seen is a sled that a guy made, using a gas auger for power and steering.  When you get to your spot, disconnect the power unit from the sled, attach it to the drill, and make your holes.    There is a video of that one on youtube.

Kinda cool. Would prefer a Honda engine over the B&S though.

Those are not new ,there was company making them many years ago ,also called the face eraser ,when you crest a mogul ,that handle comes straight up and takes the operators face off.

This concept is popular in Scandinavia in the forestry industry; many incorporate a powered winch as part of the design.

Jonsered's Iron Horse is one. 

The hunt clubs there use them with a sled to retrieve Moose.

There's a long thread on it on Ice Shanty. They are sold in NY now. Popular with the ice fishing crowd, but can be used on any terrain. And so far, no need for registration in NY.
