No one has fiddled with one of these? Does anyone know what carbides or wear rods fit the metal skis that are on them? Got this used and there site is not helpful

 

I had one a couple of years ago, bought it with C&A plastic skis on it

 

What ever fits!!

I don't think you put carbides on sleds... I never have.

 

I would put carbides on to preserve the skis when crossing roads....if that pertains to you?

Sorry, I can't help you with the ski question...

 

I bought a snow coach when my kids were small. They absolutely hated it. It was terribly rough riding unless the trails were perfectly smooth.

Putting kids in these things is like putting a frog in a blender.

 

^^I can see why you say that with how riding (length of rides) has evolved over the years. However, the trail system is better than it's ever been in most areas. Hats off to the groomer operators for this one.....!

Some of my best rides as kid were in a 1969 Ski-boose....fond memories.

 

I contacted Equinox about getting skegs. They said they used Arctic Cat Bearcat skiis. Don't remember what years but I just replaced them again before selling it last year and whatever I ordered fit perfect. I put on Bergstroms for longer wear. I think full carbides would be overkill. If you're maneuvering so fast that the sled will whip around, you're going too fast to have your kids in there.
I always had helmets on them to avoid heads from clacking.

Depends on the kids I guess....we don't have a equinox snow coach....

We have this open sleigh on leaf springs, no shocks, and my daughters love it, bumpy trails, smooth trails, hill climbs they love it, we can do 125-150 miles in a day, that's with having lunch on the side of trail (with the hot dogger) and all the stopping and messing around sight seeing. Still back to the motel / cabin by darkish. I'd like to do 200 miles day.

Every trip when it's time to pack up and head home, they ask, "can you call us in sick for school tomorrow so we can get in one more day of riding?"

 

this is just going to be used once in a while to take the little ones for rides, no long trips. Helmets are always a MUST!

 

We had an old Artic Cat cutter, looked a lot like the pic above, and my daughters loved it. Many times it would be after dark and below zero before we could make the 16 mile trip back into our cabin so we would put the girls and supplies into the cutter and cover them with a Buffalo hide. They would sing and laugh all the way into camp. Im 70 now and oh how I wish I could go back for just one more ride. Those were the best times in my life.

 

I emailed Equinox to see what they say I should get.

 

Man this is getting bad, Ive been back and forth with them thru several emails and still cant get a price on a set or what they even used. I sent pics this time!

 

The skis just look like cat skis .Measure the width where the ski mounts and get the 5.7 update kit from BRP if it fits .
