turbojamie Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I forgot my camera this year, but dad and I were out last weekend mowing along the trails, we made two passes one each way lots of tag alders and crap grown up again. Horse loggers along the trail between long point and elk lake left a huge mess lots of tree's left laying on the road we cut up and moved off the trails. The trail is very tough and hard to pass along the beauty lake road for brushing purposes the terrain is quite rugged in there we were only able to make one pass in some places as we would have wrecked equipment forsure. Always a pleasure being up there! Up next time around xmas hopefully we will have snow and be out packing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskoka Man Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 we were biking this summer beween Elk Lake and Long point and thought we could see sections you had used the mower on last fall , makes a difference for sure , i believe Ron from gowganda said the club had bought a mower for the groomer for this season , those tag alders never seem to lay down unless they are cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbojamie Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Spoke with Urs a few weeks back I "think" they are having one built, not sure if it attatches to the groomer or is done afterwards etc... I wish we lived closer or were up more as we would probably modify our mower and put it on skis, and make passes once the base was packed, or while out packing. Have to work at the trails when we have time which is limited. Maybe I'll win lotto max and be able to move up! Too bad the trail is so rugged that more ATV traffic doesn't make it down, they sure help beat the brush down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowganda Lake Camp Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 That's awesome Jamie. That's alot of work and it does help tremendously. The brushing you guys did last fall saved us tonnes of time once the snow fell. First meeting tonight so should have updates tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowganda Lake Camp Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 we were biking this summer beween Elk Lake and Long point and thought we could see sections you had used the mower on last fall , makes a difference for sure , i believe Ron from gowganda said the club had bought a mower for the groomer for this season , those tag alders never seem to lay down unless they are cut We decided to put the mower attachment for the grooming tractor on hold until we see if permit sales pick up . It only takes around 5 weeks to build so we have a few weeks to a month to decide. Sooo.... if you still need a season pass and do some riding in our area we would love to sell you one. This attachment is pretty sweet. After you have made your first pass with the groomer you hook the mower attachment up and run the trail again cutting all the tag alders on the ground as well as the branches reaching in on the sides. One pass and the trail is good for the season . Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hopefully that's the story.. No incentive to buy earlier this year, so that is part of the reason. Warm here in the south, so people are sitting on the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossy Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I think people are willing to hold out until the snow finally come this year. A few people I have talked to are doing just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some dealers are swamped with inventory. Dealer keeps calling me demanding payment and the unit isn't even pdi yet. They wanted me to pay full balance before I even get the unit. Not impressed. I am hoping the unit is ready as promised on Saturday and once everything is ok, I will give them the payment. Never had this happen before. Simone must be calling then demanding money.
