History
Snowmobile Types and Sizes
Today in Wisconsin there are four main types of snowmobiles. Ski-doo, Arctic-Cat, Polaris, and Yamaha. There are other types of snowmobiles but they aren't common in Wisconsin because they are built for other uses, such as mountain or sport use. Smaller snowmobiles are recommended for people new to snowmobiling, a such snowmobile would be a Yamaha SRX 120 because it won't accelerate as fast or have as high of a top speed compared to a Arctic Cat T660. Arctic Cat is a favored brand. A review of the Arctic Cat ProCross F 800 SnoPro, "It's nice. It's got plenty of power and has a great rap to it. The 128" track is awesome off the trail. The sled holds up very well while riding through ditches or carving up the mountains." (1).
