Snocat
« on: December 13, 2023, 05:43:13 PM »
Pimped out my snocat this weekend.

Added a LED light at that really improved my night vision and a custom box for the bed from allied body works.

The doors are weather tight and swing up and stay open.

Inside it is 72” wide and 36” deep so I can toss all of our Rubbermaid containers and cooler in there and not have the covered in snow when I get to the cabin.

I want one for the same purpose so bad! My wife's cabin is in the Blues and gets covered in snow every winter and I want to make it in there with the family so I have always wanted one of these. It's not in my budget right now of course. I was just looking at a cool blue one on Craigslist. Good price even.

Ok enough about me, that is an awesome machine you have! So when you open the rear box doors it's one open unit inside? What was the cost like on the custom box?

It’s a 70 something thikol.

Not sure what the steering is called but I pull the left lever to turn left and right lever to turn right when going forward.

Yes the box in the back is continuous between the doors one big cavity. It was expensive, $3,000.

The snocat was a purchase on bidadoo on eBay. It was in Kent at the bidadoo auction lot. With 20 seconds left to bid and high bid at $10,000 I placed a bid for $12,005 and won. I figured it was worth $12,000 to most people so I went $5 more and won. Pretty sure the guy that had $12,000 for a max bid was pissed.

It’s been awesome to have. It’s a three mile snowmobile ride in to our cabin. We have a tow sled for behind the snowmobiles and that was great when I was thirty but after 50 the snocat is way more comfortable.

I would bet you could get all of your money back out of it if you tried to sell it again. Meaning all $15,000+ They are hard to come by and popular in the right regions of the U.S. Utah and Colorado have tons of them. What engine does it have in it?

Yes, you have lateral steering. Same as tanks, tracked tractors.
