Our club ( OVSC) ) has a Tucker Terra 1000 with a 16-08 MM drag. We also have a Ski-Doo SWT with a MM 8-04. Last Year was our first year with the Tucker 1000. We traded in an older Tucker 2000 with steel tracks.

We use an Alpine w/a 4x8 MM and a Bearcat w/a4x8 Frenchie.

The Belknap Snowmobilers have 2004(?) tucker 1000, rubber tracks w/ a 16-07 (7') MM drag, and 1996 tucker 2000 steel tracks w/ a 18-08 (8') MM drag. love them both, best machines on the market

I don't know CKF's got the tucker but he's jonesing for a Pisten Bully with the 12 way blade.

I would just like to be able to use the blade without the fear of breaking a tie rod. :banghead: When are you going to hit the Casino again and see if you can win enough to buy me a Bully?

if we don't go north maybe the friday after t-day since I have an overnight babysitter till Sat. need to win back my wifes shopping trip first

Our local club has 3 tuckers & 4 mogul master drags

Our club has a 2004 JD with a Mogal Masher 8'drag

The Pittsburg Ridge Runners have 2 '06 Piston Bully Edges', 1 '07 Piston Bully Edge, 1 89 Piston Bully (for sale) 1 '03 Sur Trac. The Bullys are set up to use ten foot Mogul Masters and the Sur Trac uses its own unique drag which actually makes the hardest trail of anything I've ever seen, its just not as flexible as the Bullys pulling in snow off the outside of the corners.

We have recently stretched to buy the latest Bully. It was either buy it or put serious money in one of our older '89's. One was traded that needed work and the other, which is still in pretty good shape is up for adoption.

The second and forth pics are the older Bully looking for a new home.

I think thats the one CKF wants me to buy him with my winnings.

If you win big I wouldn't mide a new one but that one will do.

here we go, someone making the mistake of trying to venture to the dark side :smilielol:

come on won myself my new set of slydog skis last week plus some gas money to go to Canada next week.

buy another tucker with the winnings

Trailhawks, we have a 1999 LMC 1800 with a 180 HP CAT turbo diesel and 32 inch wide tracks (2) we pull a 8 foot wide X 18 foot long drag don't know the brand but it is a commercial one, we actually have 2 drags the same and one is in town and one out in the country for our 2 sections of trail we groom then we have to haul the groomer back and forth to do it.. All I know is it makes the trail really smooth...
Our old groomer was a 1962 Thiokol made by LMC it had manual steering clutches in it and was a bear to drive, sure am glad we got a newer one, no one else would run the old one but me

Become active in one of the hundreds of clubs in NH ME VT and you can! :div20:

Club I belong to in MA, Coldbrook Snowmobile Club, has 2 Tucker 2000's, 1 Pisten Bully PB 200, a Bombi and a Skandic. http://www.coldbrooksnowmobilers.com/GroomerFra.htm

how much for the 89?

Asking $25,000. with a ten foot Mogul Master included. Will seperate if that is a factor. I know a lot of clubs cant use something quite that wide everywhere. We are lucky we can!

As you can see it is in good shape! I think I have a pic of the interior I'll try and post!

Appreciate your interest!

love those rainbow seat inserts.

Nice to see a grooming forum!

Our club has been around since 1970 and has used various machines over the years. 1970's Alpine, Bombardier J5, 1990's Alpine II - those machines pulled the old Bombardier single blade groomer we had. We later installed an electric lift on the front of it to avoid having the driver get off to adjust the height of the blade.

After that we purchased a 1972 Bombardier SV200 and a 1994 Mogul Master 8x16. Then we moved up to a 1978-9 SV252 (with aluminum cleats) and pulled the same groomer.

Last season we traded the SV252 and cash for TWO 1994 BR400+ machines from northern California. Both were in running condition and we picked the better of the two to be our main machine. The other machine has turned into a parts donor. We pulled the 8x16 Mogul Master last season and made extensive modifications to it this summer and it is now 11'4" wide by 22' long!!!!!!!!

How many miles (km) do you groom with that set-up?

groomer !!!! salut !!!!!...... :beer2:

My hubby grooms I know they are big Massey's as for the specs????? :beerchug: to all the groomer's out there....we really appreciate you :div20:

OT...I looked into grooming a little bit last year as it is something I think I would be interested in doing. I don't have a lot of time to invest, as I am busy with school, but I would love to pitch in every now and then. But I don't know...do clubs usually have plenty of people to run the groomers or do they need people? I talked to a guy who is an active member in a local club in Berlin, I think he may even groom too, but he said you need to be 21 to run a groomer. Is this true?

Awesome pictures Groomer! :div20:



Thanks!

Here is a pic of our Tucker 1000

we also have a '79 Tucker 1642me with an AFMI drag

those tuckers looks like they came from cooks :div20: good guys up there :beerchug:


btw, i want to try one of thos 1642's. i like the looks of them

It came from Cooks :div20: Here is the LINK to the 2000 we traded for our new one.

gotta love those cooks brush guards, you def. know they came from there

2 years ago after the wet snow and ice we used them as tree guards lol

The BR180 is for sale. Our new CASE 135 should be delivered any day!

First let me say thank you all for your hardwork and dedication to our sport, over the years it's been a rare occasion to cross paths on the trail with you guys but it sure brings pure joy and jubilation when I do.

And thanks for sharing your pictures as well. As a diesel-head/sled-head I have learned to appreciate tractors of all kinds and marvel at the groomers you operate. I don't know if any of you read the small article in the December AmSnow but it was a great piece and a long overdue homage to groomers. Thanks again for your efforts and I look forward to seeing more pictures from the upcoming winter.

Greg.

Here is my old Thiokol 2100c. My club the Northwood Crankpullers have 2 scandics and a Bombi.

We run a 8120t JD (pictured) pulling a 8.5' x 18' Lacross.This year the Lacross will be replaced with a drag like Todmiester has, but 9' wide. We also run 2 Cat challengers, both pulling Lacross drags. We are getting a new JD this year ,sometime in Dec.

We have a tucker 1000. We also have 85 miles of groomable trails in the PowderMill SMC. And guess what we have some great views

We have a 96 steel track and a 2002 5 man cab Terra to do 58 miles.

wow, a tucker thats blading!!!! i wonder if he broke a tierod end that day, lol.

You won't break tie rods pushing snow. Stumps and rocks are another deal.

We run Tuckers for 9 seasons and have only broke 2 rod ends. And both times it was operator error.
