plans to build a sled to pull behind my

[Kent Barnes]

HELP, I have a new cabin and a new snowmobile but I have found out that I
need a sled to pull behind the snowmobile to get all of the stuff from the
truck to the cabin.

I am looking for a set of plans to build a sled to pull behind my
snowmobile. A search of the internet has yet to turn up any leads.

Please forward any plans or leads to me at kjba...@att.net

Thanks

Here's one idea.

I think Scott Aleckson had posted some pics of his sleighs a few years
ago.

I built one just like this one on the web page above and it works well. I
have since modified the tongue to have a 1 7/8 ball on it as then I can also
pull it with the Quad. I found the standard hook up to a snowmobile to be
too weak for my applications. I have a rough run into the cottage when I
have to break trail.

Let me know if I can assist in any way.

I built a cargo sled for ice fishing that would work for you. I made it out
of 3/4 conduit, and 1/2 plywood. It works great on the lakes, but in heavy
snow you might need something with skis.
On the ice fishing forums others have made sleds to pull, one thing they are
saying about heavy snow is to use water skis, instead of snow skis, which
are a lot wider and stay on top of the snow better.
Hear is a pic of the one I built....

You might be better off in the long run to just pick up a new or used CMP
fold-a-sled. They are very rugged (last forever), hold a _lot_. Over time
it will be money well spent. New you should be able to find one for ~200.

I'm surprised you remember... I'll have to try to sort through a few
gigs worth of pix and see if I can find them to repost. The short
answer to the original question... build a box... put skis on it.

This was made by my step-dad and it is still going strong. As
mentioned, a stronger tongue might be in order though as this one
bends easily. (It also straightens easily, hence the reason we are
still using it as is.)

My dad built an ice fishishing sled using a roll-up sled on the bottom of a
box. This worked better than old skis because the skis sank into the snow.
He doesn't like snowmobiles, he pulled it by hand.
