Running Wild Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Came across this today on Koz Snowmobile Grooming Site. Some may be interested. Looks well made and put together but may remove to much snow from the trail. Also it appears it never made it into full production. Look here: RW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 so the front track it seems sets the blade height. The front track is in the centre... what happens on the Canadian shield when the rocks on either side of the narrow front track are sitting higher. The blade hits them and it comes to a screeching halt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signfan Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Looks like it'd be a good unit for grading cottage roads, or it might also be a good tool for ATV clubs to start maintaining trails with in the summer if they ever took the initiative to start looking after the trails they wreck. The lack of a proper packing pan pretty much rules it out in my books for snowmobile trails. The packing pan is arguably the most important part of grooming.

bbakernbay Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Anybody have any experience with the Hydratrek? They have one at Savage in Sturgeon Falls. Here is the link www.hydratrek.com/d2488b.html Several Youtube videos in snow, muskeg and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbill Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 not a lot off freeboard too small to be useful too big too be handy. Track drives on wheels not sprockets so slippage will be an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
