Who's ready for ice fishing?

[Rjohn]

Finally got my sled dog Thomas all done. No more walking!

Cool machine ! Some kinda Frankensnowmobile ? What does it weigh in at ? You still have to walk behind it to operate it, right ? Big question is if Mother Nature feels like going ice fishing ?

You slap on a pair of ice skates and hit the throttle

Weights like 250 range me and brother just throw it in back of truck. But future we will have cargo loader in hitch to drive it up on. You actually drive from a fixed sled, it can go pretty quick. Like 40 km range.. almost 2 fast.I walked just to avoid field damage on cover crop, it works cause I didn't damage a thing. I tried machine with that little bit of snow I can attach video it can go scary fast.

That would sure beat walking 2 miles out onto the ice pulling everything by hand. Also, sure beats hauling a deer out by hand.
Fantastic job @Rjohn!

Seems like a pike dream, based on recent history.

The nuts were big this year. I haven t seen my walnut trees this loaded. My guess she's gonna be cold just gotta wait..

Nice looking setup @Rjohn feel free to offer a shuttle service If you ever see a overweight middle aged fisherman in a red onesie having a heart attack dragging his shanty across LPB! I'd pay you in fish and beer

Same here Rjohn, 12 years where I live and have many mature walnuts on the property, have never seen as many walnuts, like 5 times a normal year, was the same with apple trees, so loaded the branches were being pulled down to the ground, good for the deer and turkeys.

Kind of reminds me of an old Bolens snowmobile.

Seems like Mother Nature is not ready just yet, at least 'round these parts.
