Snowmobile Hill Torque/Traction issue.

lundi 19 novembre 2018

Hey guys, I live in a neighborhood full of other houses but lucky for me our house is on the end of the street and borders up against a little path about 50 yards away from the local lake. From there I have access to Minnesota's trail system and the ability to ride to my friends houses and group up on our sleds. Between the area I get on the lake and that little path is a some-what busy 30mph road and the area is between 2 other property's and is a small little bit of unused land. Its easy to get onto the lake but the issue is when I need to get back home. there is a pretty steep little hill you have to go up and then you are right on the road. Well last year I would just check the road both ways while I was still on the lake then just gun it up the hill that is about 8 feet tall and 30 degrees steep. Wasn't a big deal till one day I did this and had a pretty close call with a speeding car that I didn't see coming before I checked. I made it across safely but I don't want to risk it this year. I would like to be able to drive up the hill and stop at the top and then cross, but I am positive the snowmobile will lose traction and get stuck. I guess I will have to try it this year. I will upload a pic so you guys can see what I am talking about.


TL;DR: I need to be able to stop at the crest of a steep, but small hill and check for traffic before I can cross a road. I don't think I will be able to get going again after stopping. I will try this year but snowmobiles don't seem to have the torque an atv has, which I am positive would be able to make it up with ease. Is it because of the CVT transmission in a sled? The picture below is what I am talking about.
