What are you guys snowchecking, Pro or SKS?
I'm stuck right on the edge leaning for the pro one day and sks the next.
Take 17 lbs off for the electric start I wouldn't get and the sks weighs in at 426 lbs vs the pro at 408 lbs. 18lbs difference and I'd estimate 5/7 lbs for the heat exchanger which is a big plus and probably saves that much in ice buildup!
So.... We are left with about 12 lbs which is from the shocks, frame, chaincase and wheels.
If I got a pro it would have the clicker shocks and I'd add a wheel kit.
Now adding those options the sleds really are only about 8 lbs or so in difference which is next to nothing. Which means it comes down to what is better, a heat exchanger and chaincase vs a belt drive?
I love the idea of a front heat exchanger and reliability of chaincase. but have minimum experience on the belt drive so I'm not sure if it is any better or worse.
When I compare the weight, I don't see any real difference performance wise between the two.
(Sled will be road both in Minnesota and out west)
If I decide on the new SKS and it can't climb as high as I can on '13 Pro RMK it's going up for sale the next season
I need some help deciding here guys, thanks for listening to my lunch break rant!
