atv on road tires

By admin, on March 12th, 2010

What is this thing called? For training sled dogs?

I saw it once in a youtube video and it basically looked like a four-wheeled scooter on off-road tires. It was being pulled by two huskies on proper equipment, though I’m not sure if the ‘transporter’ they were pulling was official equipment, it looked like it could be as I’ve seen a full team pull an ATV.
If I could find a picture I would, but I can’t, so shan’t. Sorry.

something like this, thank you link provider

Some people do use ATVs, engine running and all for a big team. And then there is something called either ‘carting’ or dryland mushing.
Where you used a wheeled cart to run a team the same way you would with a sled.
Even in areas that get lots of snow many mushers will use the ATV or cart for fall training to get the team ready earlier. And lots of people like to just hook up there dogs for good fun exercise. Along with carts people hook up to bikes, kick scooters, and cross-country ski behind dogs.
