Don't know who's br60 this is, but nice deck though!!!! And chrome exhaust shield!! , Hmmmmm??? Maybe a logging arch based on the drag mounting frame so I could use the ram steer with big oaks????? I know it can handle the logging paths??? Much food for thought???

Actually that logging arch could be a 3point hitch log grapple I already have??????? Much more to think about??

Hey out there!!! I have had 5 snowcats and can't find one just right!!!!! The Snowmaster is the coolest cat I have had but!! At 6'3", I just can't imagine crawling in at 70 years old in 10 years plus the riding in the northeast is mostly old town and logging roads. Tight turns, steep hills, off cambers. The snowmaster is great on the steep hills with those grunty tracks!! but can't make the turns and no room to turn around for sure!!! Have a bombi and not bad, but just not enough room but really fun. Plus, 3 big guys in a Bombi is just a manwich!!!! Not enough room. Had a newer SW48 and it had great visibility , steered great but needed to be 8 foot wide with 2 seats!!!!! Love great visibility. Our town has over 50 miles of dirt roads and its alot of fun to ride the roads in snowstorms. Need good visibility!!!!!! Have a muskeg with a dump and winch and thats my pick so far overall!! A bit too heavy duty for the real steep mountain trails though, but great with the dump and winch!!!! Thikols???? No room in the imps or super imps!! 1200??? A possibility. Tuckers????? Never saw one in the east. Too big for the trails???? Krustys????? Seems like with the steep hills they would be like a otter sliding into the river!!!!
Guess what I am looking for is a snowcat that is roomy, good visibility, easy in and out with good power, traction and steering, carrys at least 2 people ans good for utility use also!!!!! Well suited for the northeast winters and terrain. Under $15k????? Any ideas out there?????????????? Thanks

Well .... Hell's bells son ..... Sounds like your are looking for a Kristi KT7 and I just happen to own the only one in the world . Tell you what .. I got $40,000 in reciepts rebuilding this baby and you just need to come up with another $25,000 and this baby might find its way to your shop . It fits a 6-4 300 pounder very nicely . You can even have a drink from the bar in the back . Did I mention the Bar -B-Que ??? How about the aircraft comm system ? It has GPS too !

Sorry Big Al no Krustys in this boys future!!! The Br60+ will do great up here in the mountains on NY. !!!!!!! Quite honestly, check the first post here!!! In the northeast, your Krusty would be like a Otter sliding into the the river on the steep switch back trails!!! Would not want to sctatch that beautiful paint job either!! real nice! Your k7 is definately a babe magnet!! But the br60+ in the photos does okay for itself!!!! Its my babe magnet!! In fact I should be riding around today with a gorgeous blonde!!! My 9 year old grandaughter!!!! Guess I will have to pass on that offer!!!! Thanks anyway!!!

Well I'm just perplexed by the photo from BigAl.

When did he learn how to use Adobe PHOTOSHOP to add snow to his images? Seriously, who here believes the Krusty is actually OUTSIDE of his garage? And with snow ON TOP of it, well that's just a little too much to believe. That would be a real Christmas miracle!!!
