I can only give some information from 2 separate machines that we use in a hunting camp in Alexandria bay in NY which is on the st Lawrence river. I have personally been in those machines when it was minus 8 approx 2 years ago driving in cattail bottoms and what they call buck brush, and had no problems. Don’t know how it would be if used everyday though. I only used them for 4 days.

It was minus 33 degrees celcius here this morning.
Made me think about how the plastic bodies of our machines hold up against these brutally cold temperatures.
Will the bodies become susceptible to cracking due to the brittleness cause by the low temps?
