Check needs before buying machine
• The choice of snowmobiles
available is limited com-
pared to ten years ago. At its
peak, more than 120
manufacturers were making
snowmobiles. Only five
remain. And that's one f er
than last year, after One
went into receivership
The remaining
manufacturers are Bom-
bardier, Yamaha,, John
Deere, Polaris, and
Kawasaki.
With the flying of winter's
first snow, you may be
thinking of buying a
snowmobile or trading in the
old one.
However, before making a
purchase, first-time buyers
should ask themselves a few
questions about their needs.
First and most important:
who is going to be using the
machine". Most Ines-
Pelle/feed buyers want the
most powerful . machine at
the best possible price.
However, powerful
snowmobiles are designed to
operate at high speeds on flat
terrain. They should be left
to experienced drivers.
To begin with, that big
machine may be suitable for
you, but unmanageable for
other family members who
hope to use it, These heavy-
weight machines are also
difficult to nalnoeiivre out of
powdered snow or set on a
trailer.
Another point to consider
when choosing a machine is
brie starting mechanism. Not
every member of your
family will be able to exert
enough pall on the manual
sorting cord to do the job.
An electric starter may be
better.
Don't buy a single seater if
you know a .family member
will want to accompany you.
Conversely, a long chassis,
two -person machine is heavy
and uneconomical to use
alone.
Before picking your
machine, you should also
decide where you expect to
ride. Any snowmobile will
perform adequately on a
groomed trail. However,
that same machine maybe a
turkey off -trail.
Carnival Day will lit
this year on March 13.

Figure Skating Club work

The highlight of the hockey
season for pee wees from all
