I agree, it suits all my needs...

Yep

I love the tundra's, great sled for the snow

I fully agree, it's a great sled for the backwoods and remote areas

Wow

Glad I could help!

Wicked

I'm glad you liked the video and thank-you for those kind words. It is because of people like you that I bother posting videos. It makes me happy to hear that others enjoy what I'm posting. Thanks again...

Love it

Haha Thanks, Glad you enjoyed the video

Wonderful

Yes my buddy, she crawls in places where once I needed to be heavy on the hammer. I should have gotten Karen to record where I had it today. While breaking a new trail I had to bunch through a big drift on a side hill or fall into a deep hole. It was a breeze...

Excellent

Great stuff I hope you get as much enjoyment out of yours as I do mine. Welcome to the Tundra club

Great

Well the Skandic is the Beast but I wanted something much lighter... Two great sleds for enjoying the back country and exploring remote locations. Looking forward to hearing reports on your adventures

NLGhostWolf indeed that’s why for the second sled we went the tundra way....we’ll experiment both and when it’s time for me to change i’ll know if i stay with the beast or change for a tundra also

Love it

My body can't handle the quick machines anymore, with 9 deteriorating vertebrae in my back I have to take it nice and slow for the most part. 850 E-tec is to much engine for me to handle now-a-days. Yes I fully agree and understand why you like the Skandic adventures where you go slow and quiet, you get to see so much more of the winter wonderland.

I have to tell you that I just love mine. It goes places sleds shouldn't go. Not only does it go there, but it goes there quietly and burns less fuel than anything else out there.

Thanks. Since I have your attention. How would it handle 2 riders and pulling a sled of camping gear? No plans for anything fast... just slow and easy trips just like your video.

The sled handles very well with two riders and you can get the 2-up seat for it if you do a lot of 2 riders riding. But it's an extra $1K there a bouts. But if 2 up is your main thing, then I would surely get it. My wife rides with me all the time, if fact she is with me more than I'm by myself but she worth let me spend the extra for the 2-up seat. However it would not be a waste of money for me if I did. The Tundra and the way it's geared makes for the perfect slow and steady riding sled. It is tippy though, I went from a 20" Bearcat to the Tundra and it took a little getting use to. However in the powder the narrow stance of the tundra gives you much greater control and when breaking trails you are able to lean into and carve into the drifts so you are left with a nice flat trail. In the spring of the year when the snow gets hard and crusty you'll find it tippy if you have to side hill at all because the snow is to hard to carve into. But I love my Tundra and as long as I'm riding and as long as they are making Tundra's I'll be riding one. It's the perfect sled for my needs and it suits me perfectly. This sled is geared low, not fast as compared to today's sleds out there but because it is geared low it has great torque and hauls with ease.

👍👍👍

I gave the old tundra a hard going over yesterday breaking trail. I truly don't think any other sled do have went were the tundra went yesterday. It's unreal where that machine can go

❤❤

Great comment

Yes Bill I hear what you are saying about the old skidoos, and this ski-doo takes me right back to when I started ski-dooing in the early 70's. Great fun, so relaxing. Haha I don't think Ski-doo will be hiring me any time soon to promote their machines.

👍👍

Wonderful

Oh, I've gotten mine stuck as well but it was mostly driver error. A little more throttle and I would have been fine. 100% agreed on how nimble these machines are and on how easy they are to get unstuck. Thanks for the sub, I subbed you as well. I just built a cargo box for the back of my Tundra. Only regrets were not doing it sooner. I did a video of that build. Hope you enjoy the videos. Cheers

NLGhostWolf I definitely need to watch your cargo box build!

👍👍

Great comment

Right on Joe, yes I'll be the first to amount I can't ride like I use to and plus I'm to stiff and sore the next day. This kind of ski-dooing thou, I can do all day all. There are times I think I'll get passed by an old lady on snowshoes... But I'm seeing a lot more animal sign and that makes me happy. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

Love it

I went from the bearcat to the tundra and it was a huge difference in a lot of areas.... Bearcat is like a kid riding a bike with training wheels, tundra was like riding a bike for the first time without training wheels.... Over shifting my weight had the tundra laying on its side in deep powder many times... But once you get or balance you quickly fall in love with the tundra and how nimble it can be... When you compare gas mileage, well there's no comparing gas mileage... Loved both machines for different reasons. Come Mar/Apr months when the morning snow is crust you'll miss the bearcat. But when the snow is soft and you learn your balance you'll love the tundra... Basically there is a machine made for all the needs out there, the key is finding the one that suits your needs the most.

Great stuff

I was out riding mine today. We have a blizzard warning happening right now and we've got tons of snow.

No it is not the lightest sled ever made, that is the stupidest statement ever made. You just can't beat that for stupid! In the 60's and 70's they made a lot of sleds that were lighter, more recently the smaller tundras were a lot lighter and what about the elan???

Thanks Barry, me too. Now I need to invest in a good SBS or quad for the Spring, Summer and Fall adventures

❤❤

Thanks brother, so far so good. Fingers crossed it will bring me many wonderful years of service and adventures. Speaking of which I'm do for a good camping trip. I must find a good place with a few rabbits and no martens. So far all the places I've been scouting has sign of marten and I don't want to catch one in a snare. I'm going out to scout a few more spots tomorrow.

❤❤

Love it

Thanks, buy what feels right and don't worry about what others say. Your money, your choice... Enjoy

Two very amazing machines right there !!!

Thanks David, I'm glad to hear that yours is still going strong. Some fine rigs for getting into tight spots.

Thanks, I really enjoy mine. So quiet, so good on gas, and so nimble it's unreal.

Glad you enjoyed it

Oh I would cry if our snow melted now. Just getting back into the winter adventures of snowshoeing, ski-dooing, and later this week, ice fishing and rabbit snaring. I just love the Newfoundland winters. So much more enjoyable then in the minus 40+ winters of the North. Don't get me wrong, I loved my time in the North but I've spent 10X more time outside this winter due to the wonderful -5 to -15 temps... So much more enjoyable when you are in the milder temps of the Island.

❤❤

Retirement is the dream job. :-) No problems, it is a lot of fun to drive, and unlike the big wide tracks I'm not afraid to get this one stuck when I'm by myself. But that hasn't happened yet... :-)

Fantastic

Yes brother, I'm liking it a lot.

I hope you Finance Committee (Wife) approves your purchase. I think you'll be pleased with how this ski-doo performs. For the can of riding I like to do, this is a perfect sled for me. Ha ha I have a face for radio not the public commercial. Thanks for the chuckle though.... :-)

I love mine, found it very tippy at first but that's what makes it so maneuverable and what I've come to love about it. But it's an adjustment coming from a big heavy wide track. I'm not afraid to get this tundra stuck at all. If it moves forward or back one inch it's not stuck. It will tap its own trail and away it goes.

Glad you liked it!

They can go, I love mine. Most nimble ski-doo I ever owned.... Absolutely 0 regrets... This sled was made for me...

Yes Sir, this is the way I started off riding ski-doo's many years ago. My first ski-doo was a 7 1/2 HP. Put it got me from place to place and my dad before me. Today's sledding has changed dramatically however my love for slowly exploring the back country never has... I hope you enjoy all my Tundra Adventure videos... Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. And yes, lets keep this little bit of nature to ourselves... :-)

Great comment keep them going

Light narrow and fun is the way to go

Glad you enjoyed it and yes, NL stands for Newfoundland and Labrador. I was born and raised in the Stephenville area of the Island and now I'm retired there. Home to stay...

@@NLGhostWolf Your in Gods country thats forsure.

someone is going to have fun this winter... Bring on the snow for Francois... Enjoy your machine.

Glad you liked it.

LTS is doing great, my sled is a 2017 so I've got 3 years of riding it now, with absolutely no issues... Gas mileage is the best you can get. It's quiet, handles very well once you get use to it. It's a narrow machine which makes it very nimble, however it can also make it very tippy under certain conditions. As for the ride compared to the bearcat, there's no comparison. My last sled before the Tundra was the 570 Bearcat 20" track... It was heavy, poor gas milage, went through a jug of oil every 2 1/2 tanks, plus the bearcat had track push, and you couldn't carve with it. Only carved a few times with it and had to replace an idler wheel each time... Big heavy machine which is not meant for carving in the snow. It wasn't tippy but the bearcat went where it wanted to go, the Tundra goes where you want it to go. The Bearcat I was afraid to get it stuck on my own, the Tundra I'm not afraid to get it stuck, you get that machine moving forward or backwards 1" and it will tap it's own trail...

@@NLGhostWolf Thanks for the info. Probably will stick to the trails for what I want. Need 2 seats, MX Expedition maybe. But love how the Tundra can go anywhere.

Oh she a nice rig. So good on gas, it's almost fun to add some to the tank... LOL

If you want it for vertical climbs you might be disappointed in the ACE as it is a heavier 4 stroke, a better choice for vertical climbs would be the 2 stroke etec Tundra Extreme. However if quiet and fuel efficiency is important then the 600 ACE is tops. Mine does very well in light snow. My sled is both fan cooled and liquid cooled, makes it good for warmer conditions.

Toss I got this sled to go off the beaten path, 90% of the time I'm not close to cell service. Put 100 miles on the sled today. Yes 115 is to fast, it's all you can do just to hang on to the sled. I like to putt, putt around now and look at all the things I never got to see in the past.

NLGhostWolf Just make sure you have snowshoes & possibles bag. That is where the box would come in handy. Lots of craft macaroni & a pot & tea kettle 14 lighters 😀. That stuff has like 1000 calories a package. Save you in a pinch. Far away machines scare me.

Well I hope you like your's as much as I love mine.... You're about the 12th - 15th person who has told me that same thing.

Right on, and we have a lot of brush here that I have to go through on a very regular basis. Nothing like riding a narrow stance sled through the forest. I've gotten a lot better this year, last year when I switched from the big bearcat to the tundra I found I was always over compensating for the turns by leaning to much. The Tundra only needs a little input to carve in the snow.

My Norseman 6000 is about 4 inches wider over the skiis. About the Skis (the ProUte skis)... I dont know sometimes I love them and some times I hate them. When you are out and scouting the Tundra and even my Norseman 6000 is so perfect. The sapmi people uses Tundras alot here in Sweden.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oduAZ6-H2LW9eqs.html Tundra in Sweden...

How's the snow conditions over there in Sweden this year? I always wanted to go to Sweden...

I loved that video, seen it before. I like to ride like that just picking my way through the woods. Check out on my playlist "Tundra Adventures 2017" you'll see me doing that a lot in some videos.

they do have ski-extension mod's you can add to the Tundra for added stability. I will answer your question in the very next Tundra Adventure video. I'll be doing some recording for it today.

Have you ever experienced riding in crusty conditions on ski-doo where you get into a speed wobble as one ski bites into the crust and then the other... On a wide ski sled you have a chance to recover somewhat. On the tundra if this happens it will throw you in the blink of an eye. But as for riding a hard pack groomed trail it's a dream, it won't dart side to side in other carbide tracks because the ski-stance is not like the other sleds (but this is not what the tundra was designed for)... I love the tundra but you need to understand, crusty conditions are it's worst nightmare... You just need to take your time in those rare conditions... I personally won't recommend the tundra as a trail riding sled, but it works well in those conditions... I would recommend studying the conditions you'd be most riding in and get a sled that best suits those conditions. Hope I'm making some sense, perhaps I could do a little talk on this during a live chat.

I've considered what I'd do the most and that is ice fish / hunt and secondary would be riding groomed trails. There was so much snow this year during moose season the snow was over the lights on my KQ700 with two inch lift. I want something to take me off the groomed trails and into the forest to explore and hunt. Then to use for ice fishing a couple trips a year.

We get far more snow then you do in Cape Breton here in Western NL. Come to the Lewis Hills to see snow and mountains... I've pulled up along 4 sleds who were stuck, and I never had an issue even on 6' powder drifts. And I know it will get stuck but so far I've been able to go places others couldn't.

Thank-you for the kind words. Yes I live in Western Newfoundland, and we are blessed with lots of snow, mild winter temperatures and some of the most breathe taking views in the world. And for me, I'm double blessed because it is right out my back door. Thanks for watching

I have never tried it in slush. I know the skandics do well in the slush not sure about the tundra?

@@NLGhostWolf ok update, I just purchased a 2021 tundra ace. Even though there’s not a lick of snow around anymore I’m looking forward to next winter ice fishing. Thankyou for the informational videos, keep up the great work.

Yes Wallace she is fun to ride, and the country I have here right out my back door is incredible.

No, it's beautiful... Other than putting the battery on the trickle charger in the off season. I did however have to replace my battery, got a lemon battery, must have been a Monday morning batt. New one works like a charm.

Thank you for your response! I will be getting my 2018 Tundra LT 600 ACE delivered next week, can't wait!

the 600 ACE seems to be under powered for ripping around on, but it has great torque and I've hauled many logs with mine with no issues at all and burned next to nothing on fuel doing so.

Thanks for you help Do you think that the tundra is enoght stable Even in deep snow?

The tundra is tippy but once you get use to it, you can get it to go into some tricky places ...

Tanks Wath is aproximatley the top speed of your tundra 600 ace?

thanks

😆

Because it is so nimble. That narrow stance and overall with allows me to cut a trail just wide enough for the Tundra and no other machine can follow me. I plan on getting back into trapping once the fur prices increase and this will help insure far less people coming behind me missing with my traps and snares. The lightweight of the Tundra makes the 600 ACE more power then the machine needs to move along. The shape of the belly pan enables the ski-doo to float up on top of the snow. Because it is so light I never worry about getting stuck and it takes something to get this machine stuck. It is unreal where this sled can go. I went from a Wide Track Bear Cat to the Tundra and don't regret it for one second.

Cool all valid points, thanks for the reply.

The gas mileage on the 600 Ace in the light platform of the Tundra LT allows it to sip fuel. It's unreal... If this sled can move forwards or backwards 1 inch, you are not stuck. It will tap its own trail and come out on top of the snow again. This machine affords me the freedom to explore the unbeaten trails and remote areas where others don't go. Is it the best sled for the deep powder, no probably not. Is it the best sled in the powder for the gas mileage and quiet performance of a 4 stroke... I'd have to say yes... Basically, this sled put all the right checks in the right boxes for my needs in a good reliable sled and at the right cost. If I was to design a sled it would resemble the tundra 600 ace LT very closely.

2017

@@NLGhostWolf ok thanks

I'm not sure Bob, but I can tell you that where I had it a couple of days ago I don't think anything could have broke that trail. Had to pass over some tuck-a-mores where the snow was only on the branches and not settled to the ground yet, we need a few good milds to helps the snow settle down through the branches and build up a good base. Well the sled was pointed sky-ward for a good 30-40 yards but it some how managed to get through. I had missed the trail and once I got on top of the Tucks I had to ride it out... A rough go. She has the different modes, ECO, Standard and Sport. I normally run in Standard full-time but have been known to put it in sport from time to time when I hit deep powder.

yes still enjoys the tundra. hard to beat in the woods

😆

They claim 29 MPG and I can't confirm nor deny that claim. I know it sure goes a lot further then my old Bearcat use to go before adding fuel. I have never been one who needs to know the exact mileage I get on any of my vehicles. I never tend to feel the need to worry about things that are beyond my control. But if I were to guess I would have to say that it must be close to what they claim... Coming from the Bearcat 570 2 stroke to the 600 ACE 4 stroke was like night and day for fuel consumption... I know it's like comparing apples to oranges, but you won't get any complaints from me on the MPG the 600 ACE gets on my Tundra LT.

Love the Tundra, After 3 years I like it more today than I did three years ago. Quiet, super good on gas, and goes places you can walk in snow. Check out the video I linked to this comment where I'm hauling birch firewood. But I hauled the logs that I used to build my garage and the lumber cut from those same logs will be used to frame in my cabin if the prices ever drop on OSB. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mb-nodmLnbGddXU.html

NLGhostWolf I watched it great video. Like the tundra and what it can do. We trap a ton in the winter. Looking for a good sled. The tundra just looked too heavy is all. Love the price of them as well. By the way, here in nett lake reservation mn, I too love to snare and eat those wild rabbits 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. Be safe and God bless

The tundra is 600 ACE LT is only 495 lbs dry weight. I'm crippled up and I still can pick up both ends of the sled front or back with ease.

600 ace is a 4 stroke super quiet and unbelievable on gas.

550 fan is much more powerful but less reliable and bad on gas and loud. It has 90hp versus the ace having 60hp

Forget HP the ACE is High Torque, Low RPM clutch engagement. For towing forget what you think you know ACE 600 is the best. ACE 900 is not the same animal. Much "faster" for the groomed trail but not as good for picking around.

@@calebm.5698 4t version is more powerful but little bit heavier and 4t motor gas comsumpions is.. nothing ;)

Starting to haul logs tomorrow with it. Will be hauling every morning for the next week from 0700 - 1100. I'll let you know how it works

good timing! I look forward to hearing how it goes, it's much easier for me to sell the wife on the idea of a new sled if it can be used to harvest 3-4 cord a year

good timing! I look forward to hearing how it goes, it's much easier for me to sell the wife on the idea of a new sled if it can be used to harvest 3-4 cord a year

hauled out 40 logs today. 8 logs at a time, no problem, the machine don't even strain under the load. Some of those logs are 300 pound plus

great stuff! what are you using for a tag sled? planning any videos?

I've gotten mine stuck too. But the beauty of the tundra is I can get it out all by myself with little effort.

Yup! I know what ya mean! Even some of my more hopeless moments, I seemed to have prevailed.

I believe I can, they talked about it at the shop when I was buying the sled but I never looked into it, so I'm not 100% sure.

Yes you can.

It's a 2017 154" x 16" track on a dry weight frame of 495 lbs, 600 ACE 4 stroke eng. So the lbs per sq inch exerted on the snow is very minimal.

haha

I'll let you know soon. Going to be hauling logs this winter.

I pulled a whole moose one time with one of the earlier tundra's (90's) and these ones are a lot bigger and more powerful and more aggressive track so they are going to pull a lot more. And I do mean a whole moose, Alaska/Yukon moose.

Hey Pirate are you from Stephenville area. I have the GoPro Hero 4 Silver and a Canon VIXIA HF M30. Both dandy cameras which I would recommend to anyone.

YES and where can u get the vixia

Anywhere they sell canon, its a canon vixia with a HD CMOS sensor in it. I really like this camera.

Do u live in Stephenville

No Cold Brook, but I did live in Stephenville

You guys can get stuck in your front yard... :-)

NLGhostWolf lol yea and not even know there's anyone for 200 miles ahahah it was about 5 feet of pure powder when I had my swt stuck but even then just packed it down a short ways and went on loves my swt!!!

They are amazing machines

It might, but mine is so light I'm not afraid to take it any where and get it stuck by myself. Because if you can manage to get it moving 1" forwards or back, you're not stuck. You just tap your own trail and away you go. The front of the tundra acts like the tip of a ski and get the front of the tundra riding up on top of the snow in all conditions. I've seen the lynx videos and they are amazing sleds, but I'll stick with my tundra. It's all the sled I need and I'll go anywhere with it.

NLGhostWolf lynx 49 ranger also has the articulating rear suspension. the issue with 600 ace is that you don't have enough power to run a longer track with more aggressive luggs. 59mm luggs is realy amazing when you go off trail. my Scandinavia turing version has the same A-arm used on lynx 69 army. their bent in a way that gives extra clearance to snow and stumps. it makes a big difference compared with brp's other a-arm setup.

Hope you get as much enjoyment out of yours as I do mine.

@@NLGhostWolf i will. We think alike. My days of hot rodding on the trails are done. I prefer the back country. Being able to blaze my one trail has been my lifes story. People like you make life a lot nicer.

Thank-you for your kind words. Yes I can understand the hot rodding days being over. I have been riding my Tundra now for three winters and I'm still amazed at where this little machine can go. Oh, she can get good and stuck but you are able to get it out on your own much easier than with those big heavy sleds. I to be fair to the Tundra, the times I did get it stuck was operator error. Or just plan foolish for picking that path, LOL... She can be tippy and be very careful in crusty conditions. Tundra's and Skandics have been known to get what is like a speed wobble in crusty riding conditions. Best avoid those conditions or just take your time. Cheers my friend, be safe out there.
