Yeah it does really well keeping the battery good and charged. This is the 5th winter with this snow machine and the second battery. I just broke 7000 miles on the last trap check on Saturday.

When I left out on the line it was -50 in a few hours it dropped to -65. My ride did just fine out there. The seat was a bit stiff lol

Do you keep it inside at home? I've heard several people say they don't start cold in temps like that. I have a 2023 900 ACE and it sits on my trailer behind my truck out in the driveway at night. It got down to -28 here a couple weeks ago (that is really cold for this country) and after a thirty mile ride down the highway in the morning I didn't think it was going to start, fired right up, but just barely turned over.

Nice! I just hit 6000 (800 miles are mine) on my 2012 Tundra 550 LT. I like the Skandic except the weight. When I bought mine I was looking for a Skandic or Tundra, 2 or 4 stroke. All the adds I responded to, the guy said it’s sold, I gotta remove the add. Hard to find.

Check out this guys channel. He’s right up there with you, northern trapper & 330 maniac but he’s a bit of a wingnut……lol

No it’s outside all but a couple times trough the winter to change oil and melt the ice buildup. I have an engine block heater that can warm it up enough for a safe start up down to -55. Any colder than that I have to put a space heater to it for a while. As long as the machine doesn’t set off alarms when started your just fine. Even if it does let it run for 10 seconds shut it off then start it up again and usually the engine will have warmed enough that and check engine warnings will have cleared.hope you have a successful season out ther.

Cool my brother had a 550 tundra lt for years. Worked great for hi, that long track could really reach down into the snow. Some don’t like how narrow the stance of the skis are but it’s awesome for old narrow trails.

Thanks! I just subbed his channel. Haha just hilarious

Great video, I can barely handle a sled in daylight. I can't imagine what i'd do at night.

I just found your videos the other day and have been binge watching them. Great videos and beautiful country. It’s funny people have mentioned The Wild North and Next Gen Trapper too cause I’ve been watching them a bunch recently too. Like someone else said, thanks for making the videos.

Great video and trap technique hang in there at 35 for hip replacements that is early but being younger you will heal faster hang in there I have had to knee replacements wore the first one out also 1 hip replaced but still up and going horsebacking gets to me but part of the ranch life. Best wishes to you

That was a great video.

I had one hip replaced at 50, the other at 54. Piece of cake.
