Has anybody tried using a sled on this? I'm looking for a way to sleigh ride down my hill in the backyard without snow. Thoughts?

I havent but I dont think it would be a great idea. The material is strong but i dont know if it is that strong. Maybe a boogie board...

I don't think this slide is made of heavy enough material. We clear all debris from underneath, so things won't tear through it. If you try it, let us know how it goes and the type of sled you used.

I haven't tried one like that. We waited too long to get this and had to use it on 3+ feet of snow on our roof. We dragged away the snow from the top, about 9-12 inches at a time and it did the job.

We haven't tried because its been snowy and windy. Based on how it flies inside (once you get the hang of the controls) it would be easier to fly it outside. It really zips and we keep running into stuff inside. Only downfall is that the battery doesn't last as long as we would have hoped.

I have three kids (15, 13 & 11) so I thought the three pack would be OK. But I was very disappointed when the sleds cracked up during use in the very low temp cold winter last year. Now, I could be wrong in that my kids used them very aggressively but that's how they sled. Just telling you my experience...

The generator will run in the rain and snow but keep in mind electricity and water don't mix. I suggest you run it on a covered porch, build a small open air pole barn or run it in a shed but be sure to exhaust the engine fumes outside. As for moving the unit around its generally not a problem with the wheels and handle for an average size adult depending on the terrain you're pulling it over.

I have not tried snow , but I have hilly terrain so I mounted tires and put 3 gal liquid in each tire with 10 lb air and it does great. I think they will do good in snow. good luck BILL WARD.

I would recommend you install metal poles as they won't 'give' as much as the trees I tied mine to. Be aware that certain ropes will loosen and tighten when wet/ dry. We take ours down in the winter as we do not think it good to try to carry snow load.

No. I use an INCRA router table and fence. FYI, this is one of the nicest sleds I've found.

If you're referring to depth, I've used it on storms over two feet - it's easiest for fluffy snow, but the wheels make it manageable with heavier snow as well. If you mean how far back can it go, as far as you can reach.Notice there's an opening (8"?) which limits how far you can go at a time, but you just pull it back, snow slides down, and then repeat the process. Very easy.

I have taken it out several times now and have not had any problems with the sled getting in the way. The only thing that you have to do is make sure you are sitting up high enough to look down your sights.

I have used mine in all snow levels and conditions and it work great. I adjusted the height so it can clear snow all the way down to the concrete. When clearing 1"-2" of snow I basically use it like a plow.

Yes. This should work well for you. Just keep in mind if you have a fore grip or bipod on the weapon you may have to remove it before using this sled.

We don't have a hill in our backyard. I would call it a modest slope. I'm guessing it would work well on a flat lawn though, especially if you have room to get a good running start. Some of the smaller kids didn't quite make it to the end of the slide but the kids around ages 11 - 12 had no problem doing so. Hope that helps.

Was caught out driving when snow began to fall pretty steady, in Alabama, yeah haha... had to pull in the first parking I came to and park it. No matter how much I babied the throttle it would just spin and hardly move. Tire grip is terrible in snow as well on wet pavement. Although durability is great. Never a flat or pressure problem.

It would work a lot better than a normal snow shovel....If you angle the handle down, then it keeps the blade of the scoop from 'digging in'. The scoop would kind of glide over the top of the snow and the snow would slide up into the scoop. When its full, then you can guide it over to where you want to dump it...never having to lift heavy snow. I love it.

I would say technically it would work outdoors, but I wouldn't do it. Like the others have said, I think the weather would affect it in many ways. Plus it weighs a ton!! Not fun or easy to move around!

I tried plowing through 5 inches of wet slushy snow and it did not do a good job. The motor was struggling. Fluffy 6 inches is no problem at all.
