Had a little bit of a bad day. Got the machine stuck and really spun down to mud trying to get out-- bad soft conditions. When I got out the thing out drove 10ft and died for about an hour. Would only start a little @ 1/2 choke so I thought fuel problem. After tearing things apart then putting them back together (1 hour) cranked it and it fired right up??? Guess I loaded it up who knows. After getting going again I heard a high ptiched noise (25- 35MPH) from what sounded like the front of the track. Conditions were extremely soft so was that the howl, so is that normal "howl" or did I screw something up spinning the hell out of it? Is it normal or am I just paranoid from the bad experience? Just annoying high pitched whine.
Crappy winter in PA so sometimes but decided to ride rather then just moaning and staying home.

The howl I hear is a lower pitched droning noise. You may have a bearing going watch closely.

Sounds like a bearing or possibly clutch problem
Thanks for the input guys. Thought the howl was lower pitched.
I'm bring it back as it is still under warranty.

What sled do you have? I have an RS Venture 2005, that has a tractor tire for a track. Which is definitely loud.
'05 Vector. Whining as I call it isn't real high pitched but it isn't a droning howl either. I asked was it the howl because folks on the site say they have it in hardpacked. I was in real soft snow. I also don't remember if it was there before I spun it out of the dirt. Going back to dealer next week.
