Mike,
That's an insane price on that machine. It won't be ideal for trapping and wood chores either.
I think of where you're coming from, and where you're going. You won't have the many years of mechanical knowledge around snowmachines.
You won't encounter extreme enough cold to worry too much about 4 stroke reliability.
In the off season, look for a basic 600 ace tundra used or new.
The pogos won't catch brush, and the low-speed torque and clutching in fkn awesome.
The quietness and fuel economy can't be matched.
Small, maneuverable woods bombers are what u need for trapping.
