PLEASE NOTE: IF THE BASIC VERSION SHOWN IN THIS VIDEO IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE NIFTY-LIFT WEBSITE, PLEASE CONTACT THE COMPANY DIRECTLY USING THE CONTACT LINK ON THE UPPER RIGHT OF THE WEBSITE.
I recently received an ingenious, compact and light-weight snowmobile accessory for moving a sled. Using a shoe-lace thin chord, can it lift my 500 lb. sled, from the front, without breaking?
Is a product small enough to fit in my pocket really enough to haul a snowmobile onto a trailer? Could it pull my heavy MXZ670 up a hill?
They claim it can lift an engine block, so I'm putting it through its paces.
Note: The approximate retail price of the product is referenced in this video. Please see the website for current pricing.
I make no claims about this product other than the test I performed for the purposes of this video. For specific information, or to buy block and tackle for sale for your sled, check out the Nifty Lift Website: www.nifty-lift.com/'.

Hey Dave, i know were back a few year's with this video, but i wanted to say i did go out and purchase this Block and Tackle after watching your very informative video, although i have never had to use it yet, i make sure i always bring it with me. THANKS Dave for making these video's, i know they are a lot of work.

@07zx14White 6 лет назад

Mmmmm, salivating over your MXZ670! I had a 96 MXZ670 for about five years and ended up selling it when family problems arose. Me and my group of friends swear by the 670 as one of the best motors made, along with the local mechanics at the dealer. Loved that sled.

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Ew. Saliva. :)

@billmers3219 3 года назад

Thanks Dave that's a useful little tool right there 👍 Small enough for any sportsman to take in his kit as well, hey ya never know? Nice place you got there! We just got about 2 ft of snow here in Western New York.. Riding is pretty good right now.

@MyOldSled 3 года назад

Thanks for rubbing it in Bill :)

@fredbussiereremax 3 года назад

I bought one because of your video and I love it. It's going in my emergency pack on the sled with the snobunje cobra!!

@MyOldSled 3 года назад

Hi Fred. It is a pretty cool tool. Even without the pulleys, the cables pretty cool. Thanks for watching.

@chromosometheif8659 6 лет назад

Pro tip for anyone without a pully. Take off the belt. Moves a lot easier

@ryanvtec3885 4 года назад

Just rotate the secondary it's soo easy

@davidmontroy4808 3 года назад

Thank for letting me know man

@danb3498 4 года назад

I ordered mine a few days ago, be a handy tool for getting unstuck, I ride solo and far, so be nice to have some peace of mind should I get stuck, we both know it happens, especially up on the peninsula snow gets deep, nice to see winter returning finally

@MyOldSled 4 года назад

I think they're great.

@Racer57 6 лет назад

One thing to mention, not only is the sled 500lbs, but if you are pushing or pulling it you have additional weigh to over come the with friction of the lugs (and studs) that are sunk into the snow, and the friction of the skis. This is a great idea, I'm going to look into getting one to carry. I never thought of this one.

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Thanks for the comment Snowrocks. I was really pleasantly surprised at how effective it was.

@davidgray3294 3 года назад

And the out takes are a good touch

@michaelriley2527 6 лет назад

I have the same sled as you except mine is a 440 fan. Love this chassis

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Hi Michael, Thanks for watching and commenting. I love them too. As long as it goes on the snow, it's ok with me, but I do really like the look of these. When I was looking for a sled, I just kept looking until I found one in my price range.

@Alaskandualsport 6 лет назад

hey buddy great tool to have ,,I have heard things pop in my back also ,,,LOL I need one of these ,,ride safe ,,LIKED ( thumbs up )

@Paisteboy 6 лет назад

Nice video Dave. The tool works great!

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Thanks. I wasn’t sure when I first heard about it but I’m sure it will come in handy .

@larsmarklund9640 5 лет назад

I dug my bearcat in 2 meters of wet snow last spring and i had to call for 2 sleds to pull me out... lifting it would've been practicly impossible... the snow was packed in the track and turned to solid rock...

@ZippoVarga 6 лет назад

Brilliantly choreographed video Dave. Just an FYI that I'm not sure if Al mentioned to you. He sent the Nifty-Lift to Polytechnic Institute of Mass for a thorough stress testing and the first failure was to the line with a pull test that measured just under 5,800 lbs!!! Very incredible considering the size of the Unit. I show on my channel, the Nifty-Lift picking up my 700+ lb garden tractor. Give it a look if you so choose. Cheers! Zip~

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Thanks Z. He did tell me that, I felt it was best to stick to the weights he references in his material and site. Because it's 4 to 1 purchase, it can get confusing. (Hooking directly to shackles vs a line to the shackles etc) I think I have seen your tractor video when I was doing my research. Thanks for watching & commenting.

@ethanwilliams1825 6 лет назад

That's pretty slick.

@farmark457 6 лет назад

Really enjoy your videos and the way you present them. You have any snow there? Not much in southern Ont.

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Thank you so much! We have some, but a couple of warm days...hopefully winter returns Tuesday.....

@charlesmiller5431 4 года назад

From other videos I've seen, are you sure it's a good idea to attach to the front bumper?

@tristanburke2311 5 лет назад

That's why I own two small snowmobiles a 440 Jag and Tundra 250

@MyOldSled 5 лет назад

Great tip. Good excuse to buy another sled!

@juss-passin-thru 6 лет назад

Awesome tool Dave!

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Thx EF

@edward8930 3 года назад

Thanks for helping me find something to get my wife’s sled out easier.

@MyOldSled 3 года назад

Hey Edward. Thanks for watching. It is a pretty useful tool

@mattteixeira2788 3 года назад

Love watching your videos very helpful

@MyOldSled 3 года назад

Awesome. Thanks for watching!

@justinmanweiler4407 3 года назад

Got one of these from a sailboat main sheet, I’m sure it could work the same for the off sailing season here in Canada !

@MyOldSled 3 года назад

Yes, its basically just a block and tackle. This one is notable for its size, quality construction and the strength of the cordage.Thanks for watching.

@1966cobraismydream 5 месяцев назад

Where do u get your saddle bags? I want them!

@joeneault785 6 лет назад

Good up Dave...and yeah on paper these new sleds might be light.but nothing beats the old fan cooled phazer or even a old indy wedge ..ALOT lighter then todays new sleds.my sisteer bought a new cat ,even being a two stroke its a real tank to move,need help or one of these.

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

I like this product because there are so many uses for it. Tree across the trail....anything heavy.

@elmerfudd7674 7 месяцев назад

Nice little tool. Now all I have to do is carry a tree with me everywhere I get stuck.

@MyOldSled 7 месяцев назад

Yeah really, when are there ever trees around on a snowmobile trail?

@ar1701 6 лет назад

Cant hurt to have it but, for lifting ? on the trail ? out and about ? for pulling add 2 or more tow straps 30 foot at least, voice of experience here, really, I carry a come a long, slower but in a hole, 3 feet of snow or more.

@michaelwalker9842 3 года назад

my sleds would be like paper weights with that

@OnwardSoldier 6 лет назад

We could have used this to drag our sled up on the trailer when it broke down lol. Also, we have the same exact sled '97 Skidoo MXZ 670. Have you ever had any problems of yours just shutting down completely and losing all power at random times. I will be going pretty fast (60-70 mph) on a frozen lake and it will just completely shut off. No power at all. We wait until the next day and it starts up first pull. Weird.

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

No, never had that. Coil?

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

or cdi

@colemichael7409 4 года назад

Could also use a coma long and a tow strap

@MyOldSled 4 года назад

Definitely. I have one in my pocket right now.

@dave2160666 Год назад

How's that work in a deep ditch if no trees near by?

@MyOldSled Год назад

Hi David. Not very well I would assume, Unless there were another point of attachment. Thanks for watching.

@MBTUE 6 лет назад

The key is it's made of stainless steel and aluminum. There is nothing worse than rusty tools. I think the bag that it comes in could be more heavy duty and water proof so when it's bouncing around in your storage compartment it won't do damage and will stay dry. Dave ! Sit down on your sled when reversing out of the shed ! Mark Bow

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Lol..no worries I was being carful. Most important is not standing. It's a pain getting around the snowblower if I don't feel like moving it. I agree the bag could be better. I think its a new company, trying to keep costs as low as possible, putting $ into the product before packaging.

@wdreiling 6 лет назад

I have seen your video about standing and reversing...then I went out and did it anyway. I had the EXACT same tumble over the handlebars you did... Guess some of us years the heard ways. 😀

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

It's gonna happen to most of us eventually...in this video, in fairness, I wasn't really standing, I was kneeling off to one side, I wouldn't have gone over...actually I started kinda sitting on my one boot stood up as I came past the blower...Still the safest place is seated....

@MBTUE 6 лет назад

Lol ! Your in trouble now ..... Good fun !

@fatnfurious9171 5 лет назад

There usually is no tree to pull from unless ur treebangin up in mountains

@MyOldSled 5 лет назад

Certainly not the case where I ride. Where do you ride?

@markgamble8377 5 лет назад

Ansoluty add to my tools.compact

@bryan7866 6 лет назад

hi david, im pretty new to your channel and ive been really impressed with your videos, however i have a question for you that i cant find online im hopping you can help me. my snowmobile is having an issue with stability it wants to pull me around when maintaining an average speed. accelerating and decelerating feel fine its just maintaining a speed it feels unstable, any ideas?

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Thanks Bryan. Did you watch my steering video? Sounds like darting

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

You can also message me on my Facebook page and we can see if we can figure it out between us. /myoldsled

@itsajoke2790 6 лет назад

My dad had an mxz 670 and fire started coming out of the exhaust pipe

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Handy on those cold days.

@normdoebel7961 6 лет назад

According to website, only $150 version is available.

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Hi Norm, the website issue has been addressed. I see the $79 version up now.

@WaterWalker16 6 лет назад

Is this in CDN or USD currency. Looks like an American website?

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Hi waterWalker, Yes, it's a US company...

@wdreiling 6 лет назад

I'm terrified that my sled will break down and I will need to leave it at the Sno-park. I have a larger block and tackle and I realize I should at least be leaving this in my car. I'm trying to get my wife to come with me more too...this could be a useful tool for getting unstuck since she doesn't have the muscle to yank on a sled. As we live to say "smarter, not harder".

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

I can relate....it does suck when you don't have a lot of friends with sleds. Sometimes you have to ride alone. Keep up the maintenance, bring a few sensible items, and then just go have fun without worrying too much. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@hikerfedex 6 лет назад

Awesome! Def gonna look into it. Currently I'm carrying a 3/8" rope & 3 Aluminum SMC Crevasse Rescue Pulleys ($16 ea @ REI) & locking carabiners to attach as 2:1 or 3:1 using a Z Rig system with prussics. Pretty good and super lightweight. But this appears even more compact in use & Super lightweight/compact rope! I'm guessing it's harder to pull this super thin rope even wearing gloves but 4:1 helps lots. Considered paracord, but hadn't trialed the Ultra 1700# paracord though I've seen it. I've also tested even heavy duty 1" or 2" webbing ratchet tie downs but they just don't generate enough pull with just 1:1. They're not a cum-a-long, and with webbing stretch, IF they work at all, they barely inch the sled along before they're fully wound around the ratchet part & you have to reset. Can barely move sled on flat or maybe very slight incline - could never pull it even part way uphill from a ditch, etc. May I'll switch to this system & test again!

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Hi Hiker. Yes, the thin chord makes it a little harder to hang on to, but when I really wanted to heave it up something steeper, I tied a bowline in it or wrapped it around a stick. I think the fact that it's compact makes up for it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@jeremy8726 5 лет назад

Any new vids coming soon?

@MyOldSled 5 лет назад

Yep, for sure. Winters coming....

@jimrob6684 6 лет назад

That’s sweet

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Hi Yeezus! Yes it does work well.

@philipcrawford7415 5 лет назад

Mashed it.

@coopermcmanus9494 Год назад

What do you carry on your sled

@coopermcmanus9494 Год назад

Like tools

@MyOldSled Год назад

Amulti tool and the skidoo tool kit. First thing i ordered when i bought the sled

@stevenwithanS 6 лет назад

Or...... ride elans.

@michaelwalker9842 3 года назад

or ride a free air jag 3000

@moedogger21 6 лет назад

Would like to see it in real snow. The back end on the ground, front end plowing snow.

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

I would have loved the snow to do that, as would every other snowmobilers in Ontario :) regardless of how much snow it's in, it would still give you a 4:1 mechanical advantage. It would take more effort in snow, but four times more effort without it.

@moedogger21 6 лет назад

My Old Sled I agree I just bought a www.thesnowjack.com haven't used it yet. I have both of the snobunje.com and they work really well, but it's hard to use effectively by yourself..

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Two snowbunge products and a snowjack? You get stuck a lot ? :)

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

I've seen the snowjack. I guess if you were unable to lift the back of your sled it would help. A lot of people,with bad backs, shoulders etc.

@moedogger21 6 лет назад

My Old Sled Yes we get deep snow here, so it's very easy to get stuck in 4' of powder. Makes it nearly impossible, to lift the back of your sled. Lifting a 600lbs sled, that has snow in every crevice, out of a hole is quite the feat. Im financialy stable enough that I can afford to purchase things to Experiment...

@gerardjones7881 8 месяцев назад

I looked at the website, not exactly cheap. Went on amazon and found many versions under $25. Then I read the reviews, they're junk .

@GaryntaraBurbank 6 лет назад

I use a snowmobile dolly to move my sled

@MyOldSled 6 лет назад

Hi Gary...suspect a dolly would be a less than ideal way to get a sled unstuck or move it in deep snow...and where would you carry it when you're out on the trail ?? Thanks for watching and commenting!
