PAD YOUR BAG. If you carry your snowbuddy in a Cordura Pac putting a piece of dense foam about ¼-inch thick in the back pocket will cushion the Snowbuddy better and will be less likely to mar the finish on your sled.

THE NO DIG LIFT. With some of the new sleds the grab bar (rear bumper) is so high that by the time you dig out the rear flap the Snowbuddy sits so low that you may not get enough lift to raise the sled out of the hole. For a while the solution was to repack the snow just removed once the flap was out of the way. Seems counter productive to dig out all that snow which has been nicely packed by your track then put it back again.
Take out the jack head buy its self, hook the cable to the grab bar and lay the jack head on the back of the sled. Assemble the base and the two shafts. Lift the flap as high as possible and push the base under the flap. The base will usually not be level and the shafts will be at an angle away from the sled. Put your foot on the base to push it level at the same time push the shafts forward against the flap. This should set the base firmly into the snow and squeeze the flap between the shafts and the grab bar. Now you see why you hooked the cable to the grab bar first. With the flap squeezed against the grab bar there would be no way to get the rope and hook around the grab bar. Pick up the jack head and click it onto the shafts and click on the jack handle. Take slack, load the jack and break the sled loose in the usual manner. With the Snowbuddy resting against the flap it will work the same as it were resting against the bumper. You will get a higher lift than if you dig down to clear the flap as shown in the video.

Less digging and higher lift. Sounds good to me. WHAT IS THE DOWN SIDE? When we tried this technique we found it does work, BUT there are a couple of potential drawbacks. You need to make sure your flap will bend this way with out doing any damage. The higher or farther behind the flap the grab bar is located the better this technique will work. Also you needed to learn to judge just how far to push the base under the flap when setting up. I had to stop a couple of times and start over again before I got the hang of it. There is a little more skill needed if you want to try this.

MOUNTING THE BAG IN A POLARIS. If you want to carry a Cordura Pac under the hood of a Polaris Snowmobile you can mount it in the belly pan below the clutches. if you look on the inside of the belly pan where the left foot rest meets the pan there is a gap between the straight edge of the footrest and the curved belly pan. you can shove the bottom of the bag with the Snowbuddy into this space then push the bag tight against the belly pan. Mark the pan where the top of the bag rests. Using some firm rubber that will stretch, we used motor cycle inner tubes, pop-rivet a piece to hold the top of the bag snugly a couple of inches below the top of the bag. You will have room to change belts with moving the Snowbuddy.

RATTELS IN A BARE BONES BOX. Might not be a big deal to some but it did bother some of our owners. Simple solution when loading the Snowbuddy place a cloth like a grease rag or light terry on top of the shafts before you lay in the cable. Keeps the Snowbuddy quiet on the bumpiest of roads. Its also handy to have a cloth to wipe things when doing trailside repairs.
