Nutter Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 As of today I'm officially a PPSC groomer operator ... woo hoo, now quit your bitchin where doing what we can to get the trails open ... LOL Went out this morning with PPSC groomer trainer Bill for a groomer training run, and of course to pack where we have not yet packed, knock down some drifts and further build our base up on E-108, which was first packed by Bill and TVB last Friday, and again after more fresh snow on Saturday night by TVB and Kevchev. . With tomorrows little warm spell and possible rain, we should end up with an awesome base. If we don't get rained on too hard tomorrow and receive a tad more snow before the weekend, I'm confident we will be able open up some of our lower end trails. I'm sure Long Sault and Gannaraska SC will also be in the same position. Unfortunately all our trails north and west of the club house will need to see a little more cold to set up the swamps, and some more snow to top it all off. Wont be long and we'll be fully opened for the season. Some pic's for your viewing pleasure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Way to go, Nutter. Let's hope the weather holds close to freezing, and your awesome 'first run' is there for us to see in weeks to follow. The long term looks GREAT. Thanks for the photos. I see a bit of yellow, a bit of blue, .... in fact, team yellow towing team blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidooer Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (man, does Bombardier know how to market it's product. Notice the name - Right on the Plow. Good for them...marketers extraordinaire ) I didn't even notice until I read your comment. Perhaps their plan wasn't so good after all. Then again, I'm not in the market for anything Bombardier manufactures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpin006 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I do agree with the comment about the yellow towing the blue but the advertising doesn't really apply anymore since Camoplast bought out Bombardier Grooming equipment. Camo Track Vehicles Camoplast is considered the leading manufacturer of multi-terrain tracked vehicles. With the acquisition of Bombardier Recreational Products’ Industrial vehicle division in 2004, Camoplast brings over half a century of expertise to the production of several models of multi-terrain tracked vehicles.

IndySKS Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Well as I always have said it's not the machine that makes a good trail it's the "Nutter" behind the wheel. Congrats on your new second home away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I don't think the BR line doesn't exist any more ? they sold it to Prinorth. This is the new BR as far as I know ? Nice unit though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice unit though Its ok but it is no BR180 ! the inability for the operator to adjust track speed individually along with engine rpm cuts into its ability to carve down the burms in the corners as well the one that I drove had an issue with overheating the hydrostatic system under a good load making it much slower than a BR180. These machines use too much electronics o control them and not enough operator input . The fit and finish is excellent along with the visibility the replacement cost of the curved windshield concerns me . The BR180 was a copy of the LMC 1800 and both machines were excellent groomers I have had the opportunity to groom with both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutter Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Thank the Lord that it got nice and cold last night and changed that rain back to snow. Just too bad some people feel that have to ride even when it's warm and raining out ... and others drive on the trail. :curse: Would of been nice to not of had to even make this pass this morning. From this .......... Came this .......... Then not even 10 min from the first pass comes this.......... Sweet mother of pearl, if he only got stuck in front of me ... Little better to deal with ... Winters soo pretty ......... I'm thinking were going to be doing some riding here in the deep south, this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildbill Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 hmmm I did not know that Port Perry went over to ORO TWP. Actually Reach twp was amalgamated into Scugog twp. in the early 70's . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been Line 3 Oro for as long as I have known it - and that's well over........ummmmm......ahhhhh...........let's just say it's a long time Nope neither, and no Scugog doesn't extend over that far east Giddy Combination of trails down on the south end of our system, Coates, Boundry and Byers Rd allowances, and ditch on Russle and Shirley Rds. With Long Sault and Ganny open no problems putting on 100+ miles runnning east for a loop from our club house. Also just got news that E108 north from the Nonquon river to the HOO rail line will be ready to open for the weekend. We will also be packing and prepping more as the days go by, and more freezes up. Here's a map to show you on where we've groomed so far and what will be open for the weekend. Trails groomed by us in blue, and yellow is leading further east into Long Sault trails and on to the Ganny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragefarmer Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 excellent pics, we own property just south of byers and west of the 1/4 line, down in the hollow, i've always wanted the town to close the road to property owners only, but they never will. Epsom is the 7th, so the 13th would be up around greenbank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
