Standish, Michigan is the place where this is made. Located in the heart of Saginaw Bay, one of the top ice fishing spots in the country. Polyethylene with a high molecular weight is used for this tough material.
Those who work on sand should do so. Parking lot is not clear to me. Wearing it out fast is likely to damage it.
There are 54 by 25 by 10 inches on the sled. When I was cutting through forest sward, I used it attached to an ATV to pull deer. Very well done! There was no problem loading and pulling the truck. All of my friends would recommend it to me.
Selected User Reviews For Shappell Jet Ice Fishing Sled
really like the look and feel of the sled. It is very sturdy and well crafted. My initial intention was to use it for ice fishing, but it turned out to be a great sled for my kids,.
In order to rebuild sections of a collapsed retaining wall / safety wall at a sheer cliff, I bought this product as a possible solution to move rocks down a slope quickly but with no damage to the rocks. There was a problem in that the area near the retaining wall was steep and wet at certain points, making it dangerous to handle My workers tried dollies and wheeled carts, but once you're going downhill with a lot of weight, it's impossible to stop the momentum. This purchase was made with low expectations, presuming it would probably last only a day or two. As much as I was surprised, I was delighted. It was extremely effective at helping me solve my problem and I was able to move all the rocks much more quickly by myself without the need for a work crew with the wrong tools. As for the rope, it wasn't included when my package arrived so I can't answer that, but I did find a longer rope that met my needs in the end. The grass on a downhill slope was covered in countless piles of rocks, dirt, and trees limbs I moved with a zero-turn mower over a period of There is a lot more work to be done than what the pictures suggest. Many of the rocks were too heavy to lift off the ground, but I managed to flip the rocks into the sled by putting my sled on its side. There were probably 150 pounds of loads on some of them and I pulled them downhill across the grass with my riding mower, then turned them over when I got to Because of the long rope and the zero turn, I was able to get good at turning sharply at speed to guide the sled to swing against the retaining wall while I stayed on lower, less steep Initially, I thought it would crack, but I came to realize how strong it is. The tendons are flexible enough to tolerate a lot of punishment, and they are still undamaged after being abused for a long time. It is not rigid, so I expected it to crack, but it is not rigid, which makes it much tougher. I cracked an old Home Depot heavy duty plastic wheelbarrow on a similar job earlier, so I expected it to crack again on this same task. The sled could not handle the rocks even though they were wide, but it just bent out and bent back when it was This plastic piece made my life a whole lot easier, especially since it was just a molded piece of plastic. Now, I use it on a regular basis for all sorts of lawn and garden work.
Since I crossed my pond, I might not find anything else like it. Anyone wondering whether this is possible may answer yes. You need to be very careful. This may be the best purchase of 2017 for me since I went all the way across the pond.
Since then, I have modified it to include a chain. This was originally purchased to push hay bales through snow, and it did a great job. In addition to that, I have modified it with a chain to drive it behind my four wheeler and work on the ranch. Tractor Parts, grain sacks, tools, manure, and field debris are some of the items it can move. So far, I have dragged it up and down the driveway and road over the gravel, and the bottom has not worn through. I am glad I spent my money on it.
Taking up ice fishing has become a new hobby for me I watched a few YouTube videos to get some tips and it became clear that a sled to haul gear was a must have.
I have a sled that's been with me for over 30 years. The shoes might appear orange, but what you're looking at is two orange "GladdaBoggins", which have been glued and bolted together with layers of old metal insulite pads glued in the top cavity to hold the organs in place. When I was a teenager, it stopped a number of suicide tries going up steep, scary hills. A robust and reliable product. The idea of pulling our gear with it seemed like a good option. Not at all. As we climbed back up the hill it tipped on its side more like an anchor than a sled when the snow was flat and smooth ON the lake. Earlier in the afternoon, I jumped on Amazon to find a better product. It's not practical to go smaller, and going bigger gets kind of pricey. There are only five to six choices to pick from in this general size.
It is true that they differ a bit in terms of dimensions, but not by much. Two reasons prompted me to take a closer look at the Jet Sled With free shipping, most of the consumers saved $10, and the average weight of the items was 12 pounds. 15 pounds is the claimed weight of the Jet Sled. It means beefier walls if this is true. At the time I found it propped up against my front door when I got home from work from work, I must say it was a big intimidating black It is equipped with a length of rope that passes through 2 pre-formed holes We drilled holes on the front so we can tow it. My solution was to get a 1/8" thick aluminum plate from Home Depot, match drill the holes, and slip a heavier piece of cord through before knotting it. Stress cracks should be prevented from forming at the holes as a result of distributing the stress over a larger area. Further drilling was also done with a 3/8" diameter bit. A place to attach bungee cords to when packing the load when the side rails have holes.
I am very impressed with the rugged feel of this item and expect to enjoy recreation with it for a long time to come.
This is a great price. I am very happy with the purchase. This bag is very spacious and can fit a lot You can see that there is no doubt. There is a lot of gear I have!.
When I had to return it, I bought another. Basically, this sled combines storage space and size. I've had it for a long time, and I've borrowed it for a long time. The rope can be easily pulled. However, you will be pulling quite a bit of weight, so you should tie a strong sled rope to both ends of the sled by looping one end through the pre-attached bar Rather than just tying knots on both ends of the tag, they drilled holes in the tag and tied the ends together rather than just tying knots on each end since they could pull the tags through the hole while dragging them It's a bit flimsy but it's a convenient size. The larger one I own is made by Eskimo. What you can and cannot fit in your car or truck is dependent on how much space you have. Alternatively, you can put the Jet sled in the back of a Jeep with the seats folded down if you do not have a truck. There are deep enough side walls that nothing can fall out, so long as the track is not overfilled and other people's tracks won't be crossed. Then you just need to keep checking behind you every now and then.
It is not easy to carry goods up and down the stairs when we are older. On the end of the rope, we tie up the boat, load it up, and lower it or lift it. If you're going to work with ropes, wear gloves so that you don't get burned. It is durable and I am certain it will work with any kind of sled.
