10 best motorized tows with a ski module

The manufacturer positions this motorized towing vehicle as a tractor, which is somewhat strange. There are quite roomy luggage sections and large sleds that come with the kit. The carrying capacity is only 200 kilograms, and on the platform itself no more than 40 kg. The ski module is attached to the rear or front, optional. There is a chain drive and an asterisk with a self-cleaning mechanism. The pendant is open. It is of the roller type, but, in principle, the towing vehicle is also capable of moving on loose snow thanks to the type of caterpillars called “fish”. However, the main advantage here is the price. The towing vehicle is budgetary and in some cases this aspect becomes the key when choosing.

The Ladoga 9V model cannot be called inexpensive, although, taking into account the technical characteristics, it could cost a little less.With an engine of medium power and optimal volume, a motorized towing vehicle is capable of carrying only 150 kilograms of weight. This is strange, since the seat will easily accommodate two. However, if you do not take luggage, and both riders weigh 75 kilograms each, the model will cope with them. There are also questions about ease of management. You have to keep the steering wheel and the ski module itself in a half-bent state, which, given the large amount of winter clothes, is not very comfortable. Rear controls are also poorly thought out. In addition, the throttle is on the left. This will take some getting used to.

Tofalar 500 is a full-fledged tractor designed to transport goods weighing up to 600 kilograms. This is the most powerful device in our ranking. Its ski module serves as both a steering and a luggage compartment. There is also storage space in the back, and sleds are also attached there. By the way, it is in them that the same half-ton cargo is transported. The site itself allows you to transport only 50 kilograms. It is also convenient that skis can be attached both in front and behind. Change of layout is done quickly and with a minimum set of tools. This is the best option for long trips and traveling with cargo or in company. The device will easily transport a small group and all their belongings.

When folded, this motorized towing vehicle will easily fit in the trunk of a car. It is very convenient for transportation, and one person can handle bringing it into working condition. This is an important aspect, since the model is single-seat, and its carrying capacity is only 150 kilograms, that is, it will not work for a passenger. This is ideal for fishing. In addition, a roller suspension is used here, designed to move on ice or frozen crust. The ski module simultaneously performs the role of both a guide and a trunk. In fact, this is a sled on a sled. The driver's legs are also placed here. Not the most convenient layout option, but allowing the car to fold compactly.

This budget motorized towing vehicle can be called the best in terms of luggage compartment capacity. The basket, bounded by rails, has a size of 95 by 75 centimeters, which allows you to place bulky goods in it, such as tents, fishing rods or guns and much more. But it should be understood that the carrying capacity of the model is only 200 kilograms, which is not so much. A relatively small engine with a capacity of 6.5 horsepower is installed here, that is, a single-seat towing vehicle, although it has mounts for both the ski module and the rear sled. By the way, a load of 200 kg is possible only in a sled. The platform itself carries no more than 50 kilograms. The parameter is underestimated and has a margin, but it is still small, especially considering the size of the machine.

Before us is a budget motorized towing vehicle, which is often found in various specialized publications. It is difficult to say what is the reason for such popularity, but testers praise the model and this despite the rather low technical parameters. Here the engine is only 9 forces with a volume of 270 cubic meters. At the same time, the transported weight, according to the documents, was set at around 300 kilograms. The parameters are poorly correlated, but made possible thanks to the use of an engine from the Chinese brand Lifan, which is distinguished by excellent technical characteristics and reliability.The model should be chosen if you need an inexpensive option that will last for many years with little or no repairs.

If you are looking for the most inexpensive motorized towing vehicle, then it is in front of you. Finding a cheaper model is unlikely to succeed, but it should be understood that there are a lot of limitations. For example, a rather weak engine that produces only 5 horsepower. The documentation of the device indicates a load of 180 kilograms, and this is the limit for this towing vehicle. At the same time, you will be able to accelerate only up to 18 kilometers per hour, and this is subject to a minimum load. The fit is also not the best. But the motor of domestic development is as arable as possible, it will not be difficult to repair it in case of a breakdown, as well as to find a maintenance service. In general, a good budget motorized towing vehicle, but not enough stars from the sky.

One of the distinguishing parameters of motorized towing vehicles is the type of suspension. The roller is more suitable for moving on frozen crust, and the slipper feels great in loose snow. With this model, you do not have to choose or have another motorized dog in stock. The device uses two types of suspension, switching between which is possible with just a couple of simple manipulations. It is very convenient for regions with a changeable climate or those who like to travel not only in winter, but also in the transitional season. Also noteworthy is the spaciousness of the design. There is a platform with handrails in which you can put everything you need, and attach a sled at the back. True, the carrying capacity is only 150 kilograms.

This motorized towing vehicle is much closer to a full-fledged snowmobile than its counterparts. And it's not just the price, you can't name an inexpensive model. Here is the most comfortable ski module, which is reflected even in the name.It is removable, but it will be problematic to do this in the field. Ideally, it is easy to fold it during transportation. This system is well thought out. Not to mention the engine. The model from the Chinese manufacturer is highly reliable and produces more than 18 horsepower. The nominal 300 kilograms of transported goods are indicated here with a serious margin. A spring suspension adds to the comfort of driving.

In most cases, the ski module is not an integral part of the motorized towing vehicle. This is its main difference from snowmobiles. In fact, it uses a regular prefix, which can be removed at any time. It is this system that is installed on this model, but its implementation can be safely called the best. Firstly, the module is fastened with two beams, which makes the connection strong and flexible at the same time. Secondly, all this conveniently folds into a compact cube that can even fit in the trunk of a car. The unit is capable of carrying up to 150 kilograms directly on itself and up to 300 in a sleigh. A great option for fishing even as a couple.
