      Just wait until Matt gets done with his, it'll have way more power than this one, everything will be modernized, and it's a quad-cab,😉, nowcdon't get me wrong, Eric's rig has plenty of potential, it'll just never reach that potential as long as Eric owns it.😶‍🌫

    Top lesson from Matt is make certain to lube and take extra good care of the bogie wheels and drive wheels. Irreplaceable. Then the heat needs to be addressed cause you that cab is completely uninsulated. Though some mat or spray in liner would be awesome to get rid of the hanging roof bulls..
    Further, judging from the I'm not climbing that footage, a locker in front is something should be done asap.
    It needs to have winches all over, air and more to make it truly a recovery vehiiickle.

  • @TimTowell
    @TimTowell Год назад

    One of the first things I would recommend is to build a front and rear axle truss for your SnoCat…. The tubes have a tendency to break when carrying a heavy load in the snow, especially when you operating on roads and trails that have tired vehicle ruts that you have to operate on, as it puts incredible stress on the axle housings and they tend to crack and break at the most inconvenient times and places, and pulling the entire rearend out when your out in the snow, slush, and mud is an experience that once you have to take one out, and take it back to the shop to fix it, and then haul it back out to the field to reassemble it, you will do that once and then either truss it, or replace the Axel tube with a thicker wall piece of pipe and weld it to the pumpkin and Axel ends…

    Congrats, Eric! What a cool new addition to the BSF fleet!
    I remember seeing one similar to yours when I used to go up to Price County as a kid (let's just say it was quite a few years ago). One of the locals had one and I remember him coming to pull our car out of the ditch with it. We had tried using a jeep and an old MF tractor in tandem, but there just wasn't any traction to be had on the road - so they brought that thing out and it plucked our car out like it was nothing.
    Color me green with envy over your & Mara's (still growing) toy collection, as well as the new shop - which looks like it's already becoming too small!
    Keep the cool videos coming!

    Eric, I owned a snowmobile trail grooming business with 7 snowcats at the peak of grooming, and we would run the Tucker 2000D and Tucker 2000E for most of our grooming cats. We had a Tucker 1000D and a Piston Bully PB170D as well, but used them more to transport people and parts rather than trying to groom trails with them. If you need any help with you new SnoCat give me a holler and I will do what i can from my experience with Tucker SnowCats…

    They are powerful units. I got hooked on tracked machines because of the old Tuckers going with my old man to check radio towers in the winter on Blackcomb mountain beside Whistler mountain north of Vancouver BC when i was just a little shit. It was amazing how deep the snow would get and the old Tucker just kept chugging along and got us up and down the mountain each time without an issue. I've been hooked ( pardon the tow truck pun haha) ever since and have built a number of different tracked units over the years and still have 3 of them in different stages. The tracks you're running are great for deep snow but it doesn't take much to build a more practical set for mud and dirt use, more of a grouser with a lot less paddle on them, narrower ( which is better for trails) As long as you get the spacing correct to ride the drive sprockets and wheel guides for the bogies you can fabricate anything you want for different terrains and save the bad boys for the snow. You remind me of myself because no matter how old I get, I'm still like a kid in the mud. Keep up the excellent content.
