That's pretty much exactly how it's being done now for the most part, but it doesn't seem to be working when looking at all the equipment that's down and the cost of emerg repairs vs regular maintenance.  Smaller fleet doing 30% more km of grooming, and who knows how many more hours now with this winter were having.     

Perhaps it is time to look into a few centralized shops to maintain the entire fleet and refurbish in the off season. Putting all maintenance in central locations and using economies of scale in parts would in the end reduce service costs, lengthen time in service of all units, and gather data on the entire fleets service records with ease and in one spot. Use the data to understqnd the most economical units and shift the asset base to those units in future when applicable. This would be a large undertaking, but could be done and might even garner government financial support for providing year round employment in more remote areas of our province. A place where jobs are being shed in forestry.

All districts have spares, they're just all in use because everything else is over worked and broke lol    Sure if a club doesn't have the means or know how, but if a club does and is able to do it on their own there's really no incentive for them to do it. Not much of savings if more units are being serviced by service techs

It’s a shame that groomer fleets are reduced to the point of no spares in districts.   As for big $$$ service techs, in a world where groomers are depended on to be running longer hours and less downtime a service tech with specialty tools can sometimes do a service faster.   A properly equipped Lube truck can apply a vacuum pump to a cold gear box to suck out cold gear oil faster.  Or pump in cold gear oil.     Not saying this is always the case but in some instances it could be helpful.

Drove by that motel I am guessing many times heading to and from Grundy lake, not far from the gas station if it is the same place I am thinking of - needs to be torn down, she is in rough shape!
