@sdm07120 Your not far at all! I really don’t have a preference in brands.. I’ve mostly driven Polaris and Ski-doo but I don’t have anything against Cat/Yamaha. If I bought new it would be a trail sled for sure as that’s 99% of the riding I do. The new Polaris VR1 with the 850 boost sounds pretty sweet. I’d like to try out a The new Arctic cat Chassis also.
@Ride and Fun For around $2000-$3000 for prices in my area I’d say your best bet would be a Ski doo rev chassis 2004+ with a 600cc engine. For around 4000 for someone new to snowmobiling I’d honestly recommend a ski-doo XP chassis 2008 and up. With probably a 600cc engine. The ski doo rev XP is a good riding machine and the front end likes to stay on the ground around corners. The Polaris’s tend to lift the inside ski without any rider input. That is is you want to spend al $4000 or very close… there’s some good cheaper machines also. Ski-doo, Polaris, and Arctic cat all make some good sleds. And like I said for a beginner even a 600cc 2 stroke can be a handful, so I wouldn’t recommend anything bigger than that.
Hey buddy just found your channel i have been riding nek my whole life own property in Sutton maybe one day we can ride together next time I’m at my place
@@rockspowersports I have my fingers crossed we get some good powder soon !!that’s the reason I haven’t ventured to my place been stuck here in rainy Connecticut
@Mark Bow Yes it didn’t hook up to well as seen on the GPS. I should of had the speedo going instead of Rpm’s I’m sure it would of showed a lot higher.
Pretty much any running sled with an Axys chassis is a steal at $3K. The Axys was the best handling snowmobile on the market until the Matryx arrived in 2020. However, it is never a good idea to buy a first year two stroke engine. For Polaris, that means to avoid the 2015 800 HO and the 2019 850.
3K? You did steal that, good job. I found one for my daughter ( 2016 Pros 800) with 500 miles for $6500, and thought that was a deal.
Yeah I kind of felt bad and serviced her other sled and wheeler for free at the end of last season.
What would you get if you bought brand new? Do you have preference amongst brands? I live in Burke not too far from you!

What would you say is a good sled for someone who has never had one before? And affordable
@Ride and Fun Affordable could be alot different from one person to the next. What kind of price range are you referring to?
@@rockspowersports couple thousand. Definitely not more than 4.

@@rockspowersports thank you so much. I’ll look around my area for some!
@@ML-Auto This is a good value sled I had last year. Usually you can pick these up for a good price.

Hey sounds like a plan! This year has been horrible for snowmobiling so far.. hopefully we can get some snow soon.
@@rockspowersports I have my fingers crossed we get some good powder soon !!that’s the reason I haven’t ventured to my place been stuck here in rainy Connecticut
@Chris Shulick It’s snowing pretty decent tonight but it’s supposed to be a mix of rain and snow tomorrow so we will see how that’s goes I guess..
I think the track is just spinning the whole time .

What did you pay? Mileage?
Paid 3k

I was pretty happy with the deal
5 to 6k is a steal for an axys
My 2015 800 is great as far as buying a newer motor 2015-present are all the same!!! In 800 or600
Why you get an 800? Junk in my opinion
@Edward Abraham III only had to give $3000 for it so I made out pretty good.
@@rockspowersports dude you got to get the ski-doo 850s google em high mileage ski-doo 850s
