Snowmobile Jack?
Brand new to sledding and as expected we have spent quite a bit of time digging. Ran into a guy that has a jack to dig out his snowmobile (highlift jack.) It looks like this could be a valuable purchase, but was wondering if anyone here has used them and has any positive or negative experiences with them.
Thanks so much.

He sleds around with a high lift jack strapped to his sled? That's fucking crazy.

Suck less.
Digging out your stucks is part of the learning curve.

...however ski bungees and a couple friends are really nice.... But right, you really don't need it after you figure it out.
I love my family. Kids are the best.

Yea, it straps along the side. Agreed suck less is the best option, just a dang heavy sled and quite bitch with just two people or by yourself. That jack thing intrigued me and my lower back, but new to sledding, so didn't know if it's the universal Jong flag or actually a good tool.

Had me thinking it was April fools day. Better off watching YouTube videos of getting unstuck.

Works great if you ride solo. If you have a crew you shouldn't need one. I'd have one if I rode a fat pig snowmobile like the one pictured. Fuck lifting that thing.

Those 4 stroke hawgs should come with a jack from the factory.
