Newbe looking for advice

Ok, I'm looking to get into the hobby and needing some advice on what sleds to buy. First of all I'll need to let you know that I have a disability so I'll be riding mainly the groomed trails, but also need something that I can get into a cabin with. I was hoping to get 2 sleds and a trailer in the 3K to 4K range. I'm sure there are certain makes, models, and years that are good, and others to stay clear of.

Your comments are greatly apperciated.

If you mind, what is your disability, Just to recommend a good sled that would be right for you. A polaris edge chassis with m-10 supnsion is a very good choice for trail riding.

If you are looking to be able to carry a bit of cargo and plow threw some drifts I would say perhaps a Pantera, it has a longer track and two with a possible rack! Comes standard with electric start and reverse! It is the Cadi of sleds very comfortable and dependable!

Chase983. I have one leg that I only have about 20% on the use in, so digging something out of the powder could be a real problem. Thanks for the replies.

An edge Polaris Classic model is a good choice in my opinion.

Gotta agree with the Pantera. They are great sleds.
