Utility Sleds
Utility Sleds....I've owned a few. First one was an '01 Ski-Doo 500F SWT (Super Wide Track, 24" x 156"). This one I rode 1,100 miles (in January) to Nome before the trail was in. Self contained no support. Took 8 days.
Sold it and bought an '06 550F Ski-Doo SWT. They're great machines for towing a heavy sled but not much of a "riding" machine.
Sold it and bought a Ski-Doo 550LT Tundra. Liked it so much I bought a second one as well as a 300F in the same chassis.
Never had ANY problems with the 500F or 550F engines in these sleds.
They're actually jetted way too rich. That is why they have a bad rep for gas mileage. Change the pilot jets to #35's and the mains to #170's and they get around 15 MPG average.
On the 550 LT Tundra another good thing to do is get rid of the big heavy 2 up seat. Changing to a 300F seat takes off 35 lbs and makes the machine much easier to move around on.
Stock MAMMOTH two up seat on the foreground 550LT. 300F seat on the 550LT next to the Cub. I've since changed both sleds to 300F seats.
Tundra 300F seat on a 550LT. Also gives you more rear rack space.
Great sleds for towing a load, breaking trail or just having fun.
