Recently, we had a customer bring us his machine because of a mysterious loss of connection between the battery and everything else.  Nothing electrical was working: electric start, lights, or heated grips.  Very frustrating! We'd had strange issues like this before, so we went through all the typical troubleshooting steps we'd done before, but with no luck. In this article, we'll go through some of the troubleshooting steps we'd take in a situation like this, and we'll show you what the solution was for this customer.  When electrical problems appear, there are some pretty basic steps to follow that will generally...

Canmore Area Mountain Bike Association: Over the last two years we have learned a lot about what maintaining a SnowDog groomer looks like, especially with the older machine.

It’s been an interesting winter here in Manitoba.  We’ve had bitter cold and a lot of snow, which means challenging conditions for any kind of machine, including Snowdogs.  We learned a lot from our first full winter as a Snowdog dealer and we want to share what we’ve learned so that every single one of your experiences in the great outdoors is a great one. The first thing we learned is that while the Briggs and Stratton engine (the heart of the Snowdog) is reliable and rugged, it’s still just a small engine that can be affected by adverse weather...
