Swedish sleds in America

[iceman]

I see quite a few sleds from the U.S. & Canadian manufactures in Sweden. It is very rare to see sleds made in Sweden on our shores. I saw one this weekend at the Outlaw Grass Drags. I know its probably nothing exciting or rare for you guys over there but it was cool to see one in person.

yes it's very exciting, it's a ockelbo trioman
But why does it have a swedish registration plate?

Not sure, I didn't get to talk to the owner. I noticed the motor was mounted offset to the left side, this is a different design than most American work sleds. If they are offset over here, they are mainly an oval race sled. I don't think the trioman looks like much of a racer!

Don't say that, after all it is a twin tracker...

Another Swedish sled

"Here is the owner - his name is "Bengon" and if the machine is not already sold, it will be at Hay Days!"

I think they got his name wrong , I think its Bengan that owns Bengans Motor in Östersund

It is still in the swedish register. Seems to have changed owner quite recently (9th of may 2009) to AAA engineering in östersund. It has a insurance that has been signed up the same day, but it is not in traffic in Sweden. I wonder why they took it to the USA =)
