Why when i read vintage ,i expected to see a sno-jet in the mountains 😂

[@tristanburke2451]

I would definitely say the old Polaris needs a tune-up sound bogey

[@FeederCountry]

Yes, I bought it and never checked the jets. It was jetted for low elevations and was running WAY to rich in this video. She's all good now, wait till you see my next video with her!

[@MidnightPolaris800]

It's as simple as a carb change for jets and different weights or springs depending on what you want go run

[@losrussets8945]

If this sled is vintage then my sled is ancient

[@fishnfreak04]

Kinda sad that it’s considered vintage. Lol

[@snowmachineman6593]

When there running good they can do almost as much as the newer ones can

[@FeederCountry]

Yep I agree 100%. The only time I think the new sleds have the advantage is when there is 4+ feet of power. Other than that, give me old iron.

[@dennisroberts2186]

Sorry but that is 100% wrong! I have an old polaris like this except a 700 with a 151 track... it doesnt go nearly as many places as my 2006 rev does, and my rev is old compared to the new sleds out there!.

[@beri232]

snowmachineman I disagree. The old stuff can be reliable but track lug and length along with the horsepower of the newer stuff kills a stock old sled. The new stuff is equal to a built up custom hill climber from back in the day.

[@wadechubb6365]

snowmachineman yes man that one is running like shit

[@rdyjur]

Sure they run just as good - on flat hardpack, which is a huge caveat given that mountain sleds are designed to virtually never ride on flat hardpack except the logging road up the mountain.

[@Skydio]

Needs more Skydio footage imo.

[@FeederCountry]

Skydio I wish I had the skydio for this trip. It was filmed last spring! My two latest videos have skydio footage.

[@davidmodeland429]

God I love Joe Gill, he's definitely eccentric, but he exudes so much happiness on the mountain that it's contagious. I heard your giggles a couple times too, maybe it's the old iron that brings out the pure joy. Very entertaining video Ben!!

[@FeederCountry]

I love riding old iron with joe gill. He’s so much fun!

I had a 98 RMK 700 with a 136 x 1-3/4” track. I used to haul it to to Golden and Revy from Edmonton behind an old 85 Chevy 1/2 ton 2WD. Neither unit ever let me down. Some good winter tires on that pickup and it went everywhere the big $$$ rigs went. That RMK took more abuse than any newer Skidoo would even look at before bustin’ a nun! Lol

[@cofferful]

Great video, I love seeing folks with the older sleds keep up with the newer ones, I have a 2001 yamaha mountain max 700 triple that can keep up with big dogs for the most part, riding those older sleds makes you better on the newer ones.

[@FeederCountry]

Couldn't agree with your statement anymore!

[@lmtada]

I have both also (2002 RMK800), 850 Doo. However I enjoy the new sleds. Better suspension, more upright ergonomics, EFI (no more jetting), More fuel efficient, and not having to buy donor sled for parts.

[@FeederCountry]

@@lmtada I also have a new Axys. I love it, but I also really enjoy the challenge of the bad suspension, jetting, and the Doner sleds. I like em both. To have my cake and eat it too.

[@misters2837]

@@FeederCountry True, RMKs didn't come out until LATE 1990s (1995 SKS models had a paddle track 1.5") BUT the first TRUE deep snow Polaris sled (15x156) was The SuperTrak (I had a 1990 Indy Trail SuperTrak) and though it had less than HALF the power of that 800, with its 488cc Fanner, it was rescue teams used in the mountains, before your 175hp 175" monsters of today....and THAT is TRUE vintage sonny!

[@gallupcustomknives2293]

Shoot, old guys used to get truly vintage sleds in some weird places with 116” long tracks way back when paddles were something used in conjunction with a canoe. Have pictures of my dad on top of Packer John Lookout sitting on his Rupp Scorpion. I get up there now on my “vintage” 1996 151 670 Doo and wonder how in the heck he could get that old hunk of junk up there with its 20hp and 4” deep tunnel...

[@FeederCountry]

The sled was running WAY to rich. It was jetted for low elevation riding. It also had the wrong clutch weights in it. That's what happens when you buy a used sled and don't check anything before going up high. Runs like a champ now. Also is getting NOS installed.
