Snowmobile Trailer
Author: E. Silva (aka Mr. Awesome Expert)
You have perhaps heard of trailers, and you have no doubt perhaps heard of snow – mobiles as well, friends …. but did you know that the best of both worlds can ( and has been ) merge here? Yup. You heard it right, straight from the horse’s mouth, as some like to say ( not that I’m a horse, neee — hawww, he he he he he heh heh heh , but I think you do know what I mean to say here, he heh ) . These trailers are made to specifically transport your snow – mobile ( and some are even designed to be able to efficiently transport other vehicles as well, whether sporting or not … and some can even transport several different types at a time, but these can get a little costly, so you’d better be ready to shell out some bucks if you want the good stuff, he he he he heh ) . Keep in mind with these trailers, like with most other types of trailers, this fact : That if you should happen to go past the stated limit ( in weight ) and exceed it, it can do some damage to your vehicle. So only use a snow – mobile that remains under that total weight limit.
It can affect your transmission and traction, torque, load – bearing capabilities, braking and so much else. So it’s just not worth it, at the end of the day, to put on more weight than the darn trailer can handle. Trust me on that one. And you will be saving yourself from a world of heart – ache and pain later on….
Now, then, what I would also like you to take note of is this ( and yes, take notes, if you can, he he he he he heh … especially if your attention – retention span is all over the place, as mine sometimes tends to be …. but a story for another time, that would be, ha hah hah ) : Most snow – mobiles weigh a minimum of 350 lbs, which equates to about 160 kilograms. Keep this in mind. And find a trailer that can accommodate for such a max weight limit ( and perhaps for a total weight limit that’s just a bit higher, in case you want to add – on some gear and other accessories, vehicles or equipment in the back …. which can add a bit more weight, of course ) .
Now when it comes to some of the most popular models of snow – mobiles, along with their weight, check this out ( I picked out 5 you can explore ) :
