Groomer is up and running again

[kenvb]

we replaced enough of stolen and damaged parts to use it.,might go out next few days and do the trails.

if anyone one see.s these unique panels.let your RCMP know, or us. the value in scrap cant be much,because they dont weigh much,

You gotta love your country
We have groomed 6 times this year with 1 more complete grooming and we are done for the year
You still have 2 months of grooming to go

Was it the BR400 they stole the parts off of or your new BR350??
Hope everthing works good on the new machine
Sorry to hear of your troubles -- it does tend to leave a bad taste/frustration about grooming when there is problems with machines

But hope it works great for the rest of the season -- they are beautful machines (when they work)...

In this case it wasn't a break down.... it was vandals/attempted theft.... well they were successful at stealing parts of it.... but none the less...

Great work getting it back up & running so you can continue to maintain your trails up there!

Nice to see it up and running again

Love to see those groomer pics - we only get to see a few over the season

It is beautiful running a large groomer on a nice day like your picture was

Keep up the good work grooming

Have 8 - 12-14hr shifts in this one this year - mostly in the dark late at night - but do love the day time grooming - you can actually see further than 60 feet around you (can not see much in the dark - just what the headlight light up)
Thank GOD for the Garmin 600 mounted right in front of us - at night in the open shore lines/meadows we drive 90% off the GPS track

I didnt think a GPS would see our trails, I get mixed up where to go.,havnt groomed at night alone yet, Alex has been doing these for 10 yrs now,knows them like back of his hand, we have 2 trails we cant groom due to some bad ersosion ,,we tryed getting a cat in there thuis past fall ,but it fell thru the creek ice, need to use a smaller cat next time, he has a 450 JD wide pad, but he used his D6..

I knew Dave was keen from time spent grooming with him. Didn't know he was that keen or I would not have bought the drill bit for checking ice!!
