Smitty sled “collapsible”

[@buckkuhlmann3461]

Love the breakdown idea that's what I'm looking for something that's not so big to move all at once. Great idea.

Hey thanks man definitely a nice option.

[@stevehildre5197]

Very nice simple build I’m making this one.

[@gillsnbillsoutdoors612]

No reason to make it complicated I thought.

Would like to see the one for the Snow Dog.

Enjoy your snow dog channel. Watch the review, , the smitty sled build and the maintenance video. I have made a smitty sled very similar to yours a couple of years ago before purchasing a snow dog because it is SO much easier to pull a smitty sled when walking to fishing spots. Now a request could you do a video on how best to adjust the track tension and if you have had any problems with the boggy wheel bearings a video on how best to change them. Thanks in advance.

Hey thanks for the feed back man definitely appreciate it. We love our Smittys for the snowdog I had to make a smaller one for walking. Our snowdog smittys are much more heavy duty.we have had a bogie flip on us once do to the beating locking up.. we replaced the bearings on everything and no make sure it gets run at least once a month in the off season so it doesn’t happen again

Also I know in the first year we had to adjust track tension we moved it all the way back and that’s where we left it now to 2 years

[@davida.lavigne6703]

Thanks for the quick response. I did adjust my track so that the adjusters are the same on both sides. Have not used the “Dog” yet this year and will see how it works.

@@davida.lavigne6703 yea that’s how we did ours to same on both sides and all the way back.

[@gillsnbillsoutdoors612]

@@davida.lavigne6703 also for the bearings I know we needed a bearing puller in order to get them out. Doing a video without ripping it all apart would be tough but If u needed help I can always walk you through it
