Self Propelled Snowmobile Hauler FARM HOME recreation 23-1-33 My brother Bryan and I designed and built this self-propelled snowmobile hauler to move sleds around our shop and garage. It's unlike anything we've ever seen on the market.
It consists of a 6 by 8-ft. frame built out of 1 1/2-in. dia. round tubing and fitted with two feet or pickups on front that act as a pair of pallet forks to slide underneath the skis to lift the sled. It rides on two 8-in. lawn mower tires and is powered by a 3.5 hp Briggs and Stratton lawn mower engine coupled with a lawn mower transmission. The transmission chain drives a sprocket that powers the left wheel, making it effortless to move the snowmobile forward and backward and to turn it with the handle mounted on back.
The machine is counter-balanced so it remains stable when a sled is pulled up onto the machine's feet with a chain on the rear of the mover. Length of both the chain and pickups is adjustable so it easily accommodates any snowmobile. (Troy Flundra, Box 1195, Russell, Manitoba, Canada R0J 1W0; ph 204 773-2911)
