Wow, I am sure glad that we don't doo rivers out here. Glad you got her out and all is well.

We doo the odd creek crossing (some years more than others depending on the temps and snow cover) and snow bridges work good.

Sorry to hear this
We did the same 18" on front track 3" deep on back of tracks
By the time we towed it back to shop the water froze in the bottom of Hydrostat tank and did not showup in oil sample
When cleaned - serviced and driven the frozen water blended with the hydrostats oil taking out the pumps & drive motors
A cost no club can pay out..........

Take the time to dry it out completely before taking back out side (Lots of relays, cables, engine components that can not get submersed in water....

Best of luck, we all need that groomer back on the trails

Glad to hear everyone is okay too....
