Hey guys,

Just pulled the trigger on a Tinger Dog (similar to snow dog), wondering if anyone on here has one, my brother build a diy version back East and loves it!

Hi. I've been looking and doing my researches for few years now, love how portable and light it is. Unfortunately the price is still pretty steep for what u get. How r u liking it so far? Did u get a chance to test it before u purchased it??

No i have not, and I still haven't received it yet, I am very limited space wise so it was an easy choice for me. I will let you guys know my impressions

I guess the tinger dog does not cone with an engine ??

I bought mine used but if you order direct i dont believe it does, i think they send brackets for 3 models of engines, mine is the honda.

Where do you expect to arrive??

I wonder if you could use these units on lakes like Spray and Upper and Lower Kananaskis? I doubt it, but it would sure be nice

They are not great on long distances but thats about the only drawback i can think of...comfort level is also not the best

No because they are motorized.

Put the Tinger Dog to the test a few times, absolute beast. Everything you see in this picture fits in a old Chevy short box 1500.

What’s the top speed on this rig?

aragor764 · #13 02-23-2022, 10:38 AM

Around 40km/hr i think, you wouldn't want to go much faster in a trail though, don't ask me how i know!

Thanks for posting about this. I have to admit that I got a laugh at first but this thread has changed that for me.

Curious, how much does it weigh? Approximately the model that you bought.
How much did it cost? Feel free to PM if you do not want to share publicly.

Thanks!

Everyone has to just see at least once how fast it goes!

I see a machine that is better then dragging out gear on foot.

Hope it is reliable for you.

Yeah I get some funny looks driving around in that thing! I initially got turned on to those by my brother back East, he builds em out of old skidoo frames. But I wasnt setup to build my own so I bought a used one. Here is the website, it weighs around 250lbs, I simply use a dirtbike ramp to get it into my truck. It has a 13hp Honda motor too witch is good.
