[QUOTE="KDM, post: 202363, member: 314"] I built a skid house out of plywood this summer and my Yamaha Grizzly 700 pulled it just fine on glare ice. When I moved it with the truck with a little snow on the ice it PLOWED like crazy. I don't know if my Grizzly would cut the mustard so to speak. If I were to do it again, I would construct a sloping front on it or get some kind of ski to get the front up off the snow and KEEP it there over the drifts and such. The skid shacks you are looking at appear to be about the same design as mine so snow on the ice could make that 1000 lbs be more like 2000 if it starts to plow snow. My shack weighs about 400ish lbs as I can lift and maneuver it a little bit while on the ice. Don't know if I could do that with a 1000 lbs of shack. I used a 5 X 8 ramp trailer to haul the house and put the ATV in the back of my truck. I used the winch on the ATV to pull the house on and off the trailer. It's NOT the easiest or most convenient method, but it works for me. Wouldn't want to haul it for a hundred miles that way, but for the short stuff I do, it works. Just some thoughts on what I've had happen. Hope they help a bit. Good Luck!!! [/QUOTE]
