Mini snowmobile Husky: specifications, advantages and disadvantages

For those fishermen who live in Russia, fishing is not always comfortable, since winters here are among the coldest and snowiest. Therefore, moving around in conditions where the level of snow is waist-deep, and even in cold conditions, is not so easy, especially with fishing accessories. For this purpose, snowmobiles and mini-snowmobiles were invented to facilitate the process of moving in such harsh and difficult conditions. In addition to the fact that moving through the snow on a snowmobile is quite simple, it is also somewhat faster. The mini-snowmobile “Husky” is designed specifically for these purposes.
