Type of sled?
Did you put down some type of turf to slide on?

I have the Torque Tank M1.

I couldn’t figure out a good way to use a traditional sled on my driveway without being super loud, so went with the Tank.

I don’t love it - It gets the job done, but would def prefer a Rogue Dog Sled or similar.

Mine is on skis and tears up the yard but is way too loud to use in the driveway so I just don't use it. I've thought about picking up some scrap carpet to lay in the driveway and use it on but never got around to it. If you're just doing sled drags it would be pretty easy to make something like the zero sled from nordstick but you can't push it

The tearing up the yard or being too loud on the driveway is my big concern

Just saw this idea on reddit. Throw some weights in one of these and get some straps from auto zone

I think at the end of the day, it comes down to what you are using the sled for.

I am training for Hyrox events in which I have to push/pull a ~225 pound sled. In competitions I find the real sled WAY harder than the Torque Tank. Part of this is because I can't control the weight of the Tank, the other part is a real sled is just harder.

If you're doing knees over toes guy or just regular sled intervals, I think it could be pretty good.

It's just annoying to pay 2-3x for something not as good as a real sled (even though it does fix the noise issue).

Pros:
- Completely solves the noise and tearing up yard issue
- Allows for sled workout at home

Cons:
- No ability to control weight, all based off of effort (how hard you push)
- Front tire has gone flat on me twice, huge pain in the arse to change
- A real loaded sled is significantly harder to push
