We've got a relatively wet 11 acres with a great stand of cedar and spruce. Looked high and low on the East Coast for one of these units. Anyone on here know of any for sale or rent around Vermont?

I am replying to this thread as it is the most recent on I have seen regarding an Iron Horse. I am wondering if anyone can give me info with respect to sourcing a track as one of the tabs on mine has ripped and the last time I ran it it did not function properly under load. Either that or I will consider selling the machine as I really do not have the need (or energy) to use it anymore.We've got a relatively wet 11 acres with a great stand of cedar and spruce.

Hey Chas, bummer about leaving old track behind. There was a rough IH on eBay that would be great for parts of near you or price was right not long ago. I thought a certain snowmobile track would work, think it was size for old elan models, but never had to try personally and have read they don’t hold up like the original Iron horse ones for some reason. You might try reaching out to lennartsfors. They seem to be active with iron horse machines, no USA presence I’ve seen but maybe they have a way. https://lennartsfors.com/en/
Good tip thanks Jake.i used a track from a 79 ski-doo 300 citation fits perfect same pitch and width just not as heavy of a track as original. i want to say the pitch was 2.12 or something like that. i figured it out years ago when my track starting tearing, got one from a sled salvage yard in good condition and it sat on a shelf for 4 years before the track finally snapped. it was a bit of a pain to put on though.
Since you just joined today I assume you found this great site through some type of a search for Jonsered Iron Horse. That is based on the fact that you dug up a very old thread and just joined today. In my opinion it would be best to settle in and get to know the site a bit first. In fact it might be a violation of membership terms to offer an item for sale and ask for outside contact. ......what say you ole @pdqdlI have a nice Jonsered Iron Horse skidder that is in great working condition that I am going to be listing for sale soon. I am in the Plymouth NH area. Email me at [email protected] if you are still interested. Thanks!
