Looks like a good idea to help on icy hills. I did not look close enough, it looked a bit like the screw in style. 

i zoomed the pic and took another one !!! looks like a little spacer going into the track...????

from what i know....if no studs...grooming first runs of the season ...better be polite climbing steep hills...no to spin tracks...could be in trouble for next few runs...

don t bring steep hills to ice ...

good morning !!!

 

sunny ....-27c !!!

 

smclelan....sure...great to see sleds there....yaaa....i think in albertville they had the gilbert for 4 years...while i was still with the sur trac....but i was using the gilbert when my trails were too

rock'n roll for the sur -trac...while in albertville saturday....guy from st-alexis...st francois area landed at the garage....he showed us pics of the trail...tq 5 ...somewhere around cross point ....lots of trees on the trail

 

jackstraw......yes...always....when grooming tq 5  + ste florence .....i need at least 2 cans extra...sometimes 3 ....depending of how trail is bumpy ...quality of snow...drifts...etc...if i use too much the '' bull '' can see the $$$$ flying by the muffler !!!!

 

blueblood ....thats a 100.00$$ question...can t tell exactly ...need to check....over 3000 hrs if memory still good...i ll be back later...

the '' gilbert '' more hp than the sur -trac....climb hills faster...better traction in the big drifts...deep snow....safe lots of time...

grooming with sur-trac...often ...runs of 13-14-15 hrs....even -16-18 hrs

with gilbert if i get mad.......can do that in 9----9.5 hrs...must not stop...no pics...no coffee...just grooming !!!!....vrooooooooooooommm !!!

i ll be grooming again this afternoon...won t long
