Be careful out there one little stick can do all this damage. Not much strength in the stock rails.

damn. Ive bent more then one set of rails landing a sled on its tail, but ive never seen them snap off! I bet you bent almost everything in the skid and killed the track by the time it was off the mountain?

Slapped a tow buddy under it and towed it out. Bent them right at the top of the hill in 3' of powder

Thats crazy, seen a few guys this year spear through the G4 track and absolutely grenade the skid. I can see where the stick went through and grabbed the cross shaft and mangled that.

Do you have a full thawed out report of the parts that got wrecked?

So just running over that broke off tree stabbed the track and broke then broke the suspension parts?

Those Tow buddies are slick. I could of used one a time or 2 but didnt have one with us.

If you stab the track something will have to give , if it is not the rails or the tree -- something else will have to.

If you end up beefing everything up you end up with a Yamaha and there everyone complains about the weight.

Can't win that one no matter what you do.
At the end it just sucks to have a mangled sled.

Hope you get here going soon.

thats the 4th 850 I've seen do that this year. Seems like the track is just crazy weak in the center and blows apart letting the wood through and explodes the skid.
