1978 Bombardier Muskeg Carrier

[Tschwahn]

I have a 1978 Bombardier Muskeg Carrier with the perkins diesel with roughly 350 hours on it with a 15000 lb rear winch that I am looking to sell. What is something like this worth? Is anyone interested. I plan to list it on Ebay and craigslist.

Leadejon,

Yes, Muskeg Carriers are "brake steered" through a controlled differential.

They have an eyeball flattening top speed of a whopping 10 mph! They weigh 4 tons and sink like a rock in deep snow.

 

[Leadejon]

Ha thanks for info Okanagan. I've just seen few around and for sale but no one talks about them too much, guess that's why..

 

[Okanagan]

Yeah. Muskegs are designed to be real heavy duty work horses, not recreational magic carpet rides or groomers.

muskegs can better be described as differential steering, as when applying the bands you change the gear ratio between the tracks to a fixed difference, usually 20 % up on one side and 20% down on the other side . you don't brake one track like a cat you are changing the speeds between the tracks.
