Trailer is heavily built and tilts hydraulically, makes cat incredibly easy to load and unload, no drama from trailer tilting when you don't expect it. Axles are "trailer house" style with electric brakes, good tires and spare. 2 5/16 ball hitch.

$29,500.00 complete, cat and trailer. I will sell the cat without the trailer for $27,000.00
Schedule permitting, I may be able to assist with transport of up to 500 miles from Gunnison, CO for $1.50 per loaded mile.
Thanks for looking.

Just thought I'd pop in and do a bump on my ad. There has been some discussion about the fact that this machine has "summer " tracks. I spoke at length to the folks at Peterson who looked up the specs on the track differences. I was told that the machine with summer tracks weighs 4500# and with winter tracks, 4400#. PSI on the summer tracks are something like .67 and winter are .52. Climbing ability with like traction conditions was less than 5% difference. I had the cat out today for about 4 hours and it performed flawlessly. We (the wife, dogs and I) drive up to about 10,500 ft. and found some snow that had some moisture in it as opposed to the sugar-like stuff we have been dealing with where our bus-cabin is parked. The cat cruised right along and was able to climb any reasonable slope we chose to challenge. Please note that the pic in the deeper snow is NOT my beautiful wife, but the notorious"Ray of Cody" in the sugar-like stuff we have been fighting all winter.
Nick at Peterson put in like this when I discussed putting wider track on the machine, "I think you're milking a mouse".
Just my observations and input...but I am the seller...:brows:

Re: 1985 LMC1500 on tilt trailer-Trades?

Just thought I'd add that I'm open to trades. I'd consider just about anything that doesn't eat or expect alimony....:ermm:
Over the snow transport is probably at the top of the interest list, but if it burns fossil fuels, I'm probably more than willing to hear what you have.
Best Wishes, Doug

Doug, if you want another snowcat why would you get rid of the 1500 they are a good cat? or are you just down sizing? If you want to trade we have plenty to trade

Boggie,
Just downsizing. This rig is not getting the use I had thought it would, but what little it has, we have enjoyed. It is an awesome machine, looks great and runs like a clock, but I don't think we need to have this much tied up in this particular toy (not like we don't have too much tied up in toys in general!)
Plus, sometimes it's easier to trade you way out of stuff than it is to wait on an outright sale...as I'm sure you know!
Anything we get needs to be able to be trailered, either on the trailer I have for the 1500 or a trailer that is available with the cat. Let me know if you have anything in particular in mind.

And I forgot to mention, the pass thru window is conveniently dog-sized...

He is a Berner, almost 2 Y.O., Maxx. Loves to go! Seems like the tracks are about 27" wide.

I also have an over the ear headset/intercom that I'll include wtih the purchase.
Thanks, Doug

Bought them off of FleaBay. The Nascar scanner types with a intercom seem to be the most common, but kinda pricey unless you find a nice set used. Gonna keep these for now, but thanks for asking. Doug

Doug,

Frankly. I'm surprised your Cat hasn't sold. The one question mark is timing.

Bill Guthrie told me snow cat sales to folks accessing their backcountry property tend to fall off a cliff after Christmas.

Every so often I'll do a Craigslist search for snow cats and I find yours there. Here in Utah there is a very popular website called ksl.com, which I would argue far outsells Craigslist here. I would humbly suggest you consider listing it there as well. Though there are many categories, typically snow cats are listed as "snowmobiles-used".

Along about September people start thinking about snow cats again. It's a gorgeous machine (priced very reasonably) and I'd be surprised if it doesn't sell next fall.

BFT, I agree on all points. I think the overall state of the economy also comes into play as well. I am familiar witht he KSL site and may give it a try this fall. For now, she is off the trailer and sitting in the barn under cover. I'd doing my best to reisit the temptation to add an overdrive unit to the drivetrain for lower RPM while cruising. I think it would be a cool addition, but probably not make the machine bring any more $$$. Idle hands....
Thanks for the input and compliments on the cat. Happy Easter!

Seems like the season is upon us. I'd like to find this rig a new home. Feel free to contact me with offers. Like I said in the original post, I may be open to trades. Thanks for looking. Doug in Gunnison

Will the dog go with the cat ? He would match up well with our Entlebucher and DMC 1200 Spryte
