[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 251018, member: 3373"] I have a 6 1/2 X 17 foot wheeled fish house. Have never weighed it but it's built on an ice castle frame. Built it trying to keep weight as low as possible but it's still heavy. Have never had a problem pulling it off the lake in March. Pulling it off this week but don't anticipate a problem. Will use a 6-seat Ranger 4 X 4 with tracks. Have use a single seat Ranger in the past with tracks. Never been an issue. Ski's are 14" wide and about 3'long. Place close to the wheel and drive away. They ride up on the snow pretty easy. Pull to where I can get a pickup, back up off the skis, hook up the pickup and drive away. Do use a ski in the front to take weight off the hitch. Front ski has a ball on top and then a tow bar. Then all you are doing is pulling with none of the weight of the tongue on the ATV. I built mine, or more precisely had a shop class build them for me but they were pretty much copied from a Zachmeier ski. Check their website and they used to have a video showing how they work. Simple and easy and best of all, effective. [/QUOTE]
