My friend and I decided to hit the snow yesterday before it got all tracked up . 40 inches or so of new . To make a very long story short ... About 16 miles back into the high country ,my friends new xp loses the driven axel .He's 250 and I'm 190 on a 503 L.T. . Very humorus to us and luckily no one saw 2 grown men riding a 60 hosepower one seater. I rode in front and ducked over the hood with my feet on the pegs and held his legs up above the snow while he steered . 60 hp with a 12 x 136 inch track and 450 pounds of adult weight in 40 inches of 16 hour snow ( untracked ) That thing saved , maybe our lives . ( Kudos )

Tried and true,

If more snowmachines were designed with the simplicity and durability of the 503F this industry would have many more consumers.

The same situation happened to us at Hawk fest when two guy's who went back to the trucks earlier then the rest. One of the 600's they were limping back with had failed jack shaft bearings overheated going too slow, they doubled up on the good machine and picked up the pace to get back.

The 503F would have prevailed in this situation also, and probably given us at least one more year on those bearings.
