The Dingo T150 snowmobile is the third generation of compact and convenient dismountable equipment, designed by Russian design engineers. The new model of the Dingo T150 snowmobile uses a more powerful power plant than its predecessors, namely a four-stroke gasoline engine with forced air cooling.
In order to increase cross-country ability, the manufacturer lengthened the rubber-fabric reinforced caterpillar track to 2626 millimeters, increased the lugs to 23 millimeters, and also improved the new roller-slide type suspension with two shock absorbers.
This snowmobile has an electric starter, but the power unit can also be started manually. Despite its rather compact overall dimensions, the machine is capable of transporting weight up to 150 kilograms. Dingo T150 may well become an indispensable assistant in various farms.

The machine has a reversible gearbox. The updated model of the snowmobile features two-position heating of the gas trigger and steering handles, which ensures comfortable operation in all weather conditions. There is also a special glove compartment located under the seat of the snowmobile, which allows you to carry everything you need with you. Large loads can be placed already in the trunk. Thanks to the presence of a reinforced tow bar, the snowmobile can drag behind it a drag sled with various loads, the total weight of which should not exceed 150 kilograms. The design provides a built-in 12-volt socket, with which you can use either a navigator or charge a mobile phone battery. The instrument panel of this snowmobile is quite multifunctional, and it also shows the crankshaft speed of the power unit, travel speed, ambient temperature, mileage, and, well, time.
As for control, the Dingo T150 snowmobile is quite simple, even a child can handle it. The machine's transmission consists of a variator, which also ensures ease of operation. If you do not take into account the fact that the snowmobile was originally designed for operation at low ambient temperatures, since it is equipped only with an air cooling system, then this model is able to work properly, without overheating the power plant and in warm conditions. Moreover, if the engine overheats, a warning in the form of an exclamation mark will appear on the dashboard. This warning can also occur after driving for quite a long time at high speeds, therefore, you should not put excessive load on the engine, then the snowmobile will last a long time without any malfunctions or breakdowns.
The maneuverability of this snowmobile is also excellent. In terms of handling, the Dingo T150 is much easier than its predecessors, as it responds to even the slightest change in steering rotation. Also, when making a turn, you do not need to tilt yourself, because even when maneuvering on icy surfaces, the car has very good grip.
The field conditions in which all testing of the equipment was carried out demonstrated the endurance and sufficient load-carrying capacity of the snowmobile. The only downside to the whole design is the footrests, namely their location. If you have a large build, your feet may slip because the footrests may seem too small.
Overall, this snowmobile is an excellent option for fishermen, as it allows you to get to all the necessary places in comfortable conditions. Well, the Dingo T150 also has fairly high traction characteristics, which is undoubtedly a big plus.

- Always follow the appropriate recommendations if, when entering a hill, the engine stalls or the vehicle goes backwards. To prevent the engine from stalling when driving up a hill, maintain a uniform speed.
- Be careful when sliding or skidding. Learn to steer safely when sliding or skidding by practicing at a reduced speed on a flat, smooth surface. On extremely slippery surfaces such as ice, drive slowly and be very careful to reduce the risk of slipping or skidding.
- It is prohibited for anyone under the age of 18 to operate a snowmobile.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SNOWMOBILE DINGO T150
Purpose of a snowmobile.
The DINGO T150 snowmobile is an off-road mechanical vehicle designed for the movement of people and the transportation of goods on snowy terrain at ambient temperatures from plus 50 C° to minus 400 C°. Due to the design features of the snowmobile, prolonged driving on ice or compacted snow is not allowed, as this can cause the slip linings of the track unit to burn. If such a trip is necessary, periodically travel to areas with loose snow to lubricate the slip linings.
Snowmobile design.
The DINGO T150 snowmobile is created according to the classic “two skis in front/one track in the back” design.
When using this scheme, the snowmobile rests on the surface with three points arranged in a triangle. Thanks to this, the snowmobile has optimal stability, sufficient to solve most problems facing it. Also, this design is the key to its relatively low weight, optimal location of the center of gravity, disassembly and repair accessibility of all main components and assemblies. The DINGO T150 snowmobile is equipped with a four-stroke gasoline carburetor engine with a volume of 149.6 cubic centimeters with forced air and additional oil cooling (oil radiator). The carburetor is equipped with automatic heating of the throttle diffuser, which guarantees its stable operation in a different temperature range.
The DINGO T150 snowmobile is equipped with an automatic CVT transmission. The transmission mode shift lever is used to switch to reverse or forward gear, as well as engage neutral gear. The snowmobile is equipped with a track 2626 mm long and 380 mm wide, with lugs 23 mm high, and a roller-slide suspension of the crawler bogie with two shock absorbers, with the possibility of adjustments. The snowmobile is equipped with two-position heated handlebars and throttle trigger, a socket for external 12V devices, a closed seat space with pockets and load holders, a windshield, an electronic multi-mode instrument panel, an emergency engine shutdown system, a backup engine start system, and a hydraulic disc brake.

Owner reviews
Dingo T150 has many reviews and some of them are presented below:
- I recently purchased a new snowmobile and I was simply delighted with the ergonomics, which were performed at the highest level. I don’t know whether the manufacturer did this on purpose or whether this happened due to the design features of the machine, but operating this model is quite simple and convenient. The seating position is upright, there are quite comfortable footrests, heated grips and a comfortable seat. There is a feeling of comfort in all this. The control levers came out very organic, which is also a plus. The only negative, in my opinion, is the windshield, which is practically useless. The main task of this glass is to cut off cold oncoming flow, but this does not happen. Because the glass is installed at a right angle and the entire flow is directed directly into the face. I didn't notice any other shortcomings.
- I've already covered 1,500 kilometers and I can quite confidently say that it fully met my expectations and even exceeded them in some moments. I often carry loads weighing up to 120 kilograms and practically no changes in dynamics are felt, since the snowmobile confidently pulls the sled and picks up speed. I haven’t accelerated more than 40 kilometers per hour yet, because it’s just scary. Due to the narrow base, there is a risk of falling off the snowmobile. I was also pleased with the heated steering grips, which provide additional driving comfort and economical fuel consumption, although I haven’t measured it in numbers myself, it doesn’t really hurt my pocket. Among the disadvantages, I would like to note that it is harder for a snowmobile to pull with a passenger, and it is also inconvenient for itself. Otherwise, I'm completely satisfied with it.
