have brought another manu
facturer’s snow machine to take
advantage of the current up
iwing in recreation business.
Reports are that several othei
leading farm machinery com
panies are considering the snow
mobile market.
All of the snowmobile exhi
bitors have been in the business
at least two years and all are
keenly interested in the family
fun machine rather than the
larger horsepowered race mod
els. Of all the models on display
at the Farm Show, today’s buy
er has a choice from 14 to about
30 horsepower in the family
type machine and can expect to
pay from about $B5O to $1,500
for it. One dealer said he was
amazed at the success of his
snow sled sales. He offers both
the sled type vehicle and six
wheeled all-terrain machine.
One of the “hangups” of the
farm machinery companies is
whether to offer both the sled
type and an all-terrain vehicle
or just one type. Most agree
that the sled type machine is
far more popular right now but
some predict that the all-terrain
vehicle will outlast the sleds.
One company representative
said he was more interested in
a practical machine for western
farmers to use in feeding live
stock during stormy weather.
Another dealer says he sells 300
all terrain vehicles each year
and cannot keep enough sled
types in stock At an average of
$1,200 per machine, that is a
lot of money going into recrea
tion At the 4-H booth, two Alle
gheny County sisters said they
would enjoy riding snowmobiles
but they felt that it costs too
much to buy oi rent one of them
to enjoy it.
