Problem is if I bought one it would never snow in Michigan again

Unless I was out in the mountains, I would never get a sled bigger than a 600, too much weight and not enough power gain. I'd shoot for a early to mid 2000 500-600, the 550's are a mean sled for all around.


My 700 with the right track would crush a 550.

Oh we're racing now? In that case, im getting an 800. Im talking for all around sled that will ice fishing, climbing, ditch banging, powder puff, the light 550s will do more than that 700 will. Not to mention you weigh what, 130? Jehler is pushing 210+. (sorry john, rough guess)

That MXZ is pretty light. I'm far from a tough guy and can pick the front and back end up no problem. Rides smooth and handles deep snow like it isn't there. I've never got that sled stuck yet. My parents have 500 phasers. Those will get stuck on packed ground. Once you are moving they are great and quick little sleds. I still prefer the MXZ any day though.

Do I really look that small? I'm like 190-195.

And with the a nice 1 1/4 track that 700 will go places that 550 doesn't have the power to get. My first sled was a 550SS and above 10 degrees it was a piece of crap.
Have you ever wondered why your dick still looks brand new, but your face is starting to look like an aging pirate?

Well, now that I think about it, I was probably in 180-185 range back in October.

My 680 feels light and nimble, but the 800 hauls. Depends on what you want, but with 2-4ft of powder id want more power

I hear money when it snows.
