Snowmobiles are mainly used to move quickly in harsh winter conditions or the far North. Usually this type of vehicle has different specifications: mountain, sports and utility. Let's take a closer look at the last type of snowmobile and find out which one is better to choose.

Utility snowmobile features

Utility snowmobiles, unlike other categories of motorized transport, are usually used for transporting goods, fishing and other “quiet” purposes. Utility snowmobiles are also called wide track, which means “wide track”.

Unlike sports high-speed all-terrain vehicles, utilitarian models have more permeability, but have less sports performance. Also, they are usually designed not for one, but for two people. Such snowmobiles are more comfortable and adapted for driving long distances than mountain snowmobiles, in which all unnecessary parts are eliminated to lighten the whole structure. Utilitarians are not so maneuverable due to the large caterpillar, but for the same reason they are not so bogged down in loose deep snow.

If we talk about speed, utility snowmobiles are able to develop it more than 100 km / h. Thanks to a powerful engine, one all-terrain vehicle is capable of carrying 100 or more kilograms on a drag sled. Adding to this the weight of the driver and passenger, we will see its real capabilities. For the ability to transport bulky cargo, utilitarians are in the price of hunters and fishermen. On drag sledges, you can easily take away, for example, the carcass of a wild boar. However, in order to manage powerful engine, you need to spend a lot of money. For 100 km, a snowmobile consumes an average of about 40 liters of 92 gasoline. It is not difficult to calculate how much the maintenance of such a snowmobile will cost.

Utility ATVs are equipped with multi-link or telescopic suspension, depending on the purpose of the equipment. The choice of suspension affects the handling and flotation of the snowmobile - you usually have to choose between these two parameters. So, vehicle with a multi-link suspension, it is easier to control, but it can easily catch on some bush or snag in the forest. This type of pendant is definitely not suitable for hunting. The advantage of telescopic suspension is that it makes the snowmobile more passable, but then it is more difficult to control it.

How to choose a utility snowmobile

What is the best utility snowmobile? Top brands include Yamaha, Arctic Cat, Polaris, Buran, Lynx, Taiga, etc. If you are a beginner and decide to buy your first snowmobile, then models from leading brands will come in handy.

More durable and of higher quality are, of course, more expensive views snowmobiles of domestic or import production. Among the above in terms of reliability, I would like to note our Buran and imported Yamaha. Vehicle low price category With Chinese engine on board is unlikely to last long enough. And the operation of such a snowmobile can not be called comfortable. Breakdowns will soon begin, the need to replace parts of the track, transmission and engine.

Suppose we choose a snowmobile for hunting - this is one of the most common causes buying a utility-type snowmobile. Usually, hunting requires a powerful, passable and reliable transport. All these parameters must be combined in one design. To choose a snowmobile for hunting, it is better to pay attention to the quality of the motor and the suspension on which the skis are attached. As for the motor, it is better to give preference to models with four stroke engine and the presence of a variator. If you've settled on a particular model, look up its engine number and look up online reviews on the subject: Does it run smoothly? How long does it take to change piston rings, gaskets and other parts? Remember good engine– not only powerful, but also reliable.

If you are going to hunt with your ATV, then also pay attention to the presence of a sufficient number of accessories and optional features. Is the steering wheel heated? Are sleds included, is the snowmobile equipped with a towbar, and how convenient is luggage? As for the latter, it must be enough luggage compartments. It is better to choose a snowmobile with saddlebags for storing equipment than to regret the lack of them later.

We have already said above that it is better to purchase snowmobiles from leading brands. Perhaps other manufacturers also have good models, and the price, it would seem, is much cheaper. But is it easy to find spare parts for them when you have to repair or replace the main components of the snowmobile? And if you are not very good at repairs, how many qualified service stations take on the repair of your particular model? These issues are very important, since the life of the all-terrain vehicle depends on it.

Russian-made utility snowmobiles

The Stels Wolverine 800 is the most expensive and undoubtedly the most powerful utility snowmobile. On board is a four-stroke two-cylinder injection engine having liquid cooling, volume 800 cu. see and power 60 liters. With. For greater cross-country ability, instead of the usual 500 mm caterpillar, 600 mm is installed. The designers of the Zhukovsky plant tried to reduce the fuel consumption of the snowmobile as much as possible, therefore average consumption per 100 km was only 12 liters. If you have enough funds, it is better to choose this snowmobile, known for its quality and reliability.

The honorable second place is taken by the Taiga Varyag 550 snowmobile and its simplified model Taiga Varyag 500. Like the well-known Buran, Taiga is produced by Russian Mechanics. "Taiga Varyag 550" has a two-stroke power of 50 hp on board. With. engine, 553 cu. see The snowmobile is equipped with a quality hydraulic system braking function, steering wheel heating function and other comfortable additions. The cost of spare parts is not the lowest, but the device is constantly technically supported, and almost every service station will undertake its repair. Unlike the Buran, it has some design flaws - this is what snowmobile users think.

"Buran SB-640A" - over the years, its design has undergone many changes, but so far it undoubtedly ranks third among domestic snowmobiles. SB-640A is a modern two-seat model with maximum power engine 34 l. with., allowing to accelerate to 55 km / h. A feature of the snowmobile is its two-track belt, designed to provide greater stability while riding. Moreover, unlike most other snowmobiles, Buran can be powered by 76 and 80 gasoline. This is possible due to the low compression ratio of the fuel.

Utility snowmobiles of foreign production

Arctic Cat Bearcat 5000 XT Limited 2015 is not cheap. Equipped with a 125 hp two-cylinder four-stroke engine. With. from Suzuki, the snowmobile is built to please its owner. This model is often chosen for use in ski resorts for transporting goods.

The 2015 Lynx 49 Ranger 600 ACE 2015 ranked second among foreign snowmobiles by users. Thanks to the combination of three main parameters, price, quality and power, this snowmobile has already managed to catch the fancy of many drivers.

In third place is the 2014 Yamaha RS Viking Professional, a reliable 2014 snowmobile powered by a 120hp Genesis 120 three-cylinder, four-stroke engine. With. Yamaha has always made quality products and this snowmobile is no exception.

First, let's figure out what "utility snowmobile" means. This term applies to a very large number of models. Distinctive features technology of such a plan is resistance to active operation, that is, work under serious loads. Utility snowmobiles will drag bulky sleds and start up in any frost. The owners of such equipment rarely pay attention to the maximum speed, acceleration characteristics, comfort of the car or the presence of any additional ergonomic accessories.

As for the moments of maintainability and reliability, there are very serious requirements here than for the same ATVs, cars or any other motor vehicles, because snow cover, severe frost or short daylight hours can easily turn a small malfunction into a tragedy with human casualties. A walking person overcomes deep snow in a day, while special equipment goes the same way in just half an hour - this is what a utilitarian snowmobile means. The owners of the "scraps" are rangers, oil workers, reindeer herders, gas workers, as well as other people who cannot be called amateurs.

Below will be a rating of utility snowmobiles, the participants of which are popular and high-quality equipment in many respects. All models from the list are united by one main feature- They are the best. In addition, numerous tests (not only field tests) and a large number of awards at thematic exhibitions confirm the right to take pride of place in this rating. Also with this list we will answer the question of which utility snowmobile to choose.

1. Yamaha VK540 IV.
2. Arctic Cat Bearcat 2000XT.
3. "Taiga Varyag 500".

Let's consider each model in more detail.

Yamaha VK540 IV - 575,000 rubles.

The Yamaha VK540 IV is the best utility snowmobile available today. Looking at the reports on market sales, we can say that the model is in the top and is in high demand. There are many reasons for such success, and in the first place are time-proven performance characteristics in a variety of conditions.

The model has a high-quality and reliable 535-cc two-stroke engine. The system is air-cooled and powered by a Mikuni carburetor. The engine is very easy and, most importantly, starts quickly in cold weather, both from a cable understudy and from a familiar electric starter.

Snowmobile Features

The 540 can also be dubbed as the most reliable utility sled, thanks to its well-engineered drivetrain with reverse and you can easily turn around in a tight spot or pull a sled with a decent load for several hours.

Advantages of the model:

• simplicity of design, which means good maintainability;
• engine has high rates reliability and unpretentious in work;
• broadest dealer network on our territory, coupled with a large number of service centers;
• ergonomic long-travel suspension.

The disadvantage of the series is that the equipment is too poor: the absence of many important sensors, such as a tachometer and cylinder temperature, while competing utility snowmobiles are equipped with this.

Reviews about the model are entirely positive. Hunters and fishermen speak especially warmly about the Yamaha technique. They appreciated the simplicity and reliability of the design, as well as the availability of spare parts. There were no critical comments from the owners.

Arctic Cat Bearcat 2000 XT - 795,000 rubles.

Utility even in the basic configuration are equipped, as they say, to the eyeballs. Take the same engine: a unit with air-cooled and a volume of 565 cubic meters has two Mikuni carburetors, and with 34 mm diffusers. Thanks to this, the engine not only has an enviable traction, but also eliminates all kinds of "choke" at high speeds.

In addition, the model is equipped with an overall cargo area at the rear of the car, which can be further enlarged by dismantling the passenger seat. Even if this is not enough, then there is always the opportunity to attach a sled - everything you need ( hitch) is already included in the basic configuration.

Distinctive features of the model

It would also be useful to note that the utility snowmobiles of this series have an enviable gas tank volume, about 65 liters. Therefore, a long journey will not present any surprises with a lack of fuel.

Main advantages:

• convenient and intuitive control;
• chic basic equipment models;
• long travel suspensions;
• roomy platform.

Disadvantages of the model:

• the design is too complicated for this kind of equipment (difficult repair on the road);
• high price.

The owners leave only positive reviews for the 2000 series. Literally all hunters and climbers admire the capacity of the tank and the duration of the trips. Users also note the reliability of the design, despite the difficulties of repairing “on the knee”.

"Taiga Varyag 500" - 280,000 rubles.

Utility snowmobiles of the Rybinsk plant remain the most inexpensive equipment of this kind. The Taiga engine has a two-stroke unit of the cube model) and is equipped with a Mikuni carburetor.

The car does not have enviable capacities, like previous respondents, only 43 hp. with., therefore, to ensure proper dynamics, the engineers had to significantly lighten the weight of the entire structure. You end up with a 265 kilogram snowmobile.

Advantages and disadvantages of the model

And although the dynamics were clearly improved with weight loss, the car lost the electric starter: starting the engine - only in manual mode. As for the transmission, the Varyags were equipped with a classic variator with a mechanical reverse and steps. The design turned out to be very simple, and this automatically added reliability to the snowmobile.

Advantages of Varyag:

• price;
• foreign components from Mikuni and Ducati Energia (carburetor and ignition);
• good cross due to the high-quality layout of the 500 mm caterpillar.

Disadvantages of the model:

• short suspension;
• build quality leaves much to be desired.

Judging by the reviews on the model, domestic consumer chooses "Taiga" primarily because of the relatively low price. Satisfy owners and driving performance snowmobile. But the fly in the ointment in our cars was and remains the build quality.

The mini snowmobile is perhaps the most suitable look transport for winter fishing, especially in regions where there is a lot of snow. Its advantage also lies in the fact that it does not require special training to manage it: everything is so simple. In addition, the prices for mini snowmobiles are not "biting", and the transport is very functional. If you get such a vehicle, then you can travel long distances on it, regardless of the amount of snow that has fallen.

Such models are very easy to disassemble and assemble, so they can be easily transported in the trunk of a car. What is also very important, this type of transport does not require registration of the relevant authorities.

Such designs are regularly improved, which leads to the emergence of more and more new and more comfortable developments, with simplified control schemes.

Dimensions and weight

Mini snowmobiles are characterized by small dimensions and weight. This is very important because such a device is easy to handle. For example, one person is able to load this device into the trunk of a car and pull it out. If it falls into some kind of recess, then it can also be easily pulled out by one person.

Design features

The design of the mini snowmobile consists of several complete modules that are easy to assemble and disassemble. Thanks to this, the process of transporting this vehicle is really simplified.

A similar approach in the creation of such devices allows you to save on repairs and maintenance, due to the quality of workmanship and thoughtfulness of the solution.

There is also no problem in storing the vehicle. Thanks to special clamping mechanisms, the product can be disassembled in a few minutes. When disassembled, the mini-snowmobile practically does not take up space and no special room is required for its storage.

Real movement speed

Such a product is capable of speeds up to 30-35 km / h, which is quite enough for movement on snow or ice. Low speed allows you to feel confident and safe in any conditions.

Additional benefits

• Under the seat there is a spacious trunk where the fisherman can put most of his fishing gear.
• The design of the mini-snowmobile uses centrifugal clutch with a drive, which really simplifies its operation.
• The mini snowmobile is equipped with durable metal skis. They are stable and reliable, although they can be easily replaced in the event of a breakdown.

The main pros and cons of mini snowmobiles

TO positive qualities mini snowmobiles should include:

• Small dimensions and weight contribute to the easy process of transporting the product to any point, regardless of whether the device is disassembled or not.
• Due to the fact that it is easily disassembled, the storage process does not take a lot of money and does not take up a lot of usable space, even in an ordinary apartment.
• It is possible to assemble the unit in a few minutes without the use of special tools.
• Even two people on a mini-snowmobile can move at speeds up to 20 km / h.
• There is enough space under the seat for transporting fishing equipment. In addition, there are additional pockets for storing small items.

Some models have additional functions, such as heating the steering wheel or providing power to consumers at a voltage of 12 volts.

In addition to the advantages, such devices have a number of disadvantages, which should always be remembered so that they do not remind themselves of themselves at the most inopportune moment.

For example:

• In the design of a mini - snowmobile is not too roomy fuel tank. In this regard, you will have to take an additional can of fuel with you.
• Although the technique is designed to move together, you should be prepared for a not very comfortable process. This is especially true when traveling long distances. If these distances are small, then this question is not fundamental. In any case, going badly is better than going well, especially in conditions when there is deep snow.
• The legs do not have significant protection, so you should move very carefully and carefully, especially in thickets.

Demountable snowmobile structures

Most anglers prefer collapsible snowmobiles and believe that they are much more convenient and practical. In fact, if it's not a mini snowmobile, these designs differ only in minor features. Eg:

• The size and weight of the vehicle is much larger, so even when disassembled, its parts are unlikely to fit in the trunk of a car. Therefore, the transportation process is somewhat problematic.
• The speed of movement reaches 70 km / h, thanks to a more powerful engine.
• It is much more difficult to assemble such a structure, especially one, since the structural elements have significant weight.
• Large dimensions allow several fishermen to move on a vehicle without problems.
• The carrying capacity of these structures is much greater than that of mini snowmobiles.

Famous models and brands

There are several developments, both domestic and foreign, which are widely popular. After all, mini-snowmobiles are in demand not only for domestic market but also in European countries. The most popular models include:

• "Burlak".
• Snow Fly.
• "Zander".
• "Rybinka".

Domestic fishermen speak well of domestic developments such as "Burlak" and "Razgulyay". These models are light in weight and dimensions, and when disassembled, they can be stored in an ordinary apartment. The vehicle is assembled in a short period of time. Despite the presence of two anglers with equipment, it can reach speeds of up to 20 km / h.

Mini snowmobiles "" are distinguished by the presence of all the necessary data for movement in the snow. The way to control the device is quite simple, which is accessible even to a beginner. Thanks to the comfortable and powerful skis, the snowmobile can easily move through deep snow or off-road.

The model "" is characterized by rather small dimensions, so it can even fit on the balcony, of course, disassembled. The product is assembled or disassembled within 2-3 minutes.

The design "" has a very simple control system. Therefore, even a teenager is able to master the management of this model. The development is light and compact, as well as economical in terms of fuel. This unit starts in any conditions and in any frost. Quite a successful design, which is in wide demand.

When choosing one of the snowmobile designs for yourself, you should pay attention to reliability, build quality and safety. How to do it? Yes, very easy! You should always opt for famous models who already have their own buyer and a lot of positive feedback.

It is very important that the model consumes little fuel. Nowadays, savings comes first.

What are the prices and where to buy?

When people talk about relaxation, the stereotyped association immediately draws a picture in the minds of the majority with a hot sun, a deck chair, a cocktail with a piece of lime and a warm sea. If we add the word “active” to this rest, the imagination completes quad bike races and bicycles. IN last resort- mountaineering and tourism, but everything is associated with warm weather.

What about the northerners who do not want / do not have the opportunity to go to the seas? Imagine a huge expanse of snow in which skis will fall through, and for skating you need to clear a snow cap one and a half meters high.

For such cases, developed special machines: snowmobiles and motorized dogs. These powerful vehicles are capable of driving with a person or a group of people through the snow with incredible speed. They serve both for practical purposes (carriage of goods, off-road transportation in winter), and for sports and entertainment (snowmobile racing, motorized dog travel, just exciting walks through snowy forests and tracks).

What are snowmobiles?

Snowmobiles (second name " snow machines”) outwardly resemble modernized controlled sleds. They are equipped powerful motor and the main engine: wide studded tracks located at the bottom of the apparatus. Thanks to the wide surface area, snowmobiles do not fall through even with a heavy passenger, and the engine power provides the machines with high speed and the ability to move even on steep mountain slopes.

By functionality, snowmobiles are divided into:

• utilitarian (transport, workers). Are intended for transportation of passengers, transportation of goods. Usually equipped with a wider track and trunk;
• tourist. Have more power and speed high permeability. Can be equipped with two seats. Designed for long distance travel
• sports. They have a minimum weight, excellent maneuverability. Designed for competitions and performing beautiful tricks;
• mountain. Lightest in weight, but have high power and a narrower track.

What are motorcycle dogs?

These machines got their name because of the design, similar to the dog teams of the peoples of the Far North. The device consists of directly pulling machine- a motorized towing vehicle - and a sleigh with people tied to it. Unlike snowmobiles, the passenger here is located not on a driving machine, but in a trailer. A motorized towing vehicle is designed like a motorized sledge: the same moving studded or paddle caterpillar, equipped with a powerful motor. These are very powerful devices capable of transporting sawn logs and other heavy loads with high speed and over long distances. Many models walk not only on snow, but also on any other surface: soil, swamps, reeds, forests.

For recreation, they are used as a fast and convenient vehicle in the snow.

Are you ready to put on a warm sports jacket, put on a mask and goggles and take a multi-kilometer walk in the snow shining in the sun? Then the rating of the best snowmobiles and motorized dogs for active rest 2019 will help you choose the right car!

Owner reviews of snowmobiles, which snowmobile is better to buy

18.12.2011, 02:38

What is the best snowmobile to buy? To high-quality and relatively not expensive. I choose from imported Yamaha, Polaris, BRP or domestic Buran, Lynx, Taiga. What snowmobiles according to reviews are the best and most reliable? Which are praised for patency? And then you don’t want, it’s ridiculous in winter, to get stuck because of a breakdown or stupidly get bogged down in a snowdrift.

Bought for fun, had never ridden a snowmobile before. Interested in the reviews of the owners, what are the pros and cons. Which specifications need to pay attention when buying?

High-quality and inexpensive snowmobile is Yamaha and Bombardier

A high-quality and inexpensive snowmobile is Yamaha and Bombardier. It’s better not to buy such a snowmobile from your hands, despite appearance and stories of the owner about his ideality. It is better to buy only from a representative of the company. Well, you can buy ours for cheap on Avito.

Best snowmobiles - Bombardier Ski-Doo

24.01.2012, 12:26

In my opinion the best snowmobiles are Ski Doo. Bombardier with great story good traditions. Well, you can safely take a Yamaha, they make good snowmobiles.

And about our snowmobiles, this is the alignment.

"Snowmobile Taiga"- Pretty reliable. They put imported electronics there. Basically a good snowmobile. But in terms of price it approaches imported ones, and in terms of driving performance inferior significantly.

"Snowmobile Buran"- Very good cross-country ability and traction due to two tracks. But the reliability is low. At temperatures warmer than minus ten, it is prone to overheating.

"Snowmobile Lynx"- I rode this a little, but it breaks often. The ignition system is especially unreliable.

An inexpensive snowmobile is never good

An inexpensive snowmobile is never good. If for money it’s quite close to take the domestic Buran, it is now being produced on two skis - it looks serious!

And if you need a really good one, then buy Bombardier or Polaris. Just do not forget to get the rights to him, a tractor driver, category "A", they give in Rostekhnadzor.

If you want to stay in the forest with a dead snowmobile, buy our Lynx, Taiga or Snowstorm - this technique is complete pipets! There is experience in operating the shabby Buran and the new Lynx.

Buran is simply ridiculous, it’s better to ski on your own, and Lynx got up ten times in three months, with repairs a problem. Each batch had its own parts and they are not interchangeable.

Now I have a Yamaha Viking 540 snowmobile, it's day and night, it warms my ass in the face, it doesn't blow, but it accelerates like an airplane. The world is super. Easily pret three on itself and five people in the trailer. I took it on the recommendations of friends, the reviews are the most positive - I have never regretted my choice. Now I recommend to everyone Yamaha Viking 540 is a miracle of technology.

Snowmobile Buran normal vehicle

25.02.2012, 00:46

Snowmobile Buran is a normal device. I don’t advise you to take a long length, it goes like an iron, the muzzle sinks and the stern is at the top. It’s bad to walk through the forest on this one, it doesn’t taxi between the trees.

Take the usual short Buran, immediately set the safari for driving through the forest, the speed is not very good, but the beast is for traction. Heavily loaded, with a sled and cargo on the virgin lands, it is better not to drive, the engine can be screwed up.

Another of our snowmobiles is Taiga, two skis, one goose, you can’t walk through the forest, you can leave your skis somewhere.

In general, Buran is the most suitable technique, but I don’t advise you to climb far alone, usually they walk in pairs through the forest.

I choose a snowmobile, I want to know opinions and reviews.

I choose a snowmobile, I want to know opinions and reviews. Who and what can say about snowmobiles Taiga and Polaris, what are their pros and cons?

DeKum

Good for touring Yamaha snowmobiles

14.03.2012, 16:28

Yamaha snowmobiles good for touring. For the sport of SkiDoo. Polaris is also a good snowmobile. And Taiga is rare rubbish - the gearbox flies under loads and the comfort is not the same.

Tell me which of the Russian snowmobiles is better to take?

29.03.2012, 05:42

Tell me which of the Russian snowmobiles is better to take? Are Russian snowmobiles practical? Or take an American like Polaris, Japanese like Yamaha are rather weak.
