Running a 270 tune from Hurricane and with a 1.6" track its going sideways when the hammer is down.
Back when I was stock. I was also having issues getting an 800 doo out of the hole with the rider being about 40lbs lighter than me with a 2.25" track. Doo wont go further than 300' and at that point I'm jogging by but the skis are just on the bumper. Added a 33/35 helix, 240-27-300 tune and haven't compared since but the issue is clearly traction and will be more now than ever. Dalton primary weights at 79g. 33/35 helix. XS 825 belt.
In 3' of snow we come out of the hole the same and I'm a length by at 300'.
Looking for recommendations to harness a bit of power and I feel the backcountry 1.75" wont be enough. I'm also not interested in 120mph either as its a waste of time and dangerous, everyone knows 4 strokes have the long game but its the short game where the challenge is and I'm looking for a 300'-600' setup with a good track. Studs are also not used around here

At some point every sled could use a little help .

Check out the back country 1 3/4. Has a very sturdy lug,traction is incredible. Drove me nuts to figure out clutching it changed a lot from the 1 1/4 stocker. I’ve similar snow conditions as you have and love the track. 8200 miles on it and it’s still looks real good
