    Thanks mate. I took your plans and made one 5ft wide. Put a seat on the back to tow people back up the hill and it works great.

    Great video. Thanks for putting in the time to draw up and share the plans! I may try this one later in the month. Just picked up the new Brute force 750 and track kit and I'd love to clean up some bush trails...

    It looks great, but it seems that there is already firm base. I would be afraid of wheels would leave ditches in case of fresh powder snow.

    Un "framage" de lit métallique en fer L 2" x 2" avec ajout de 2 L à angle dans le centre fait très bien le travail et ça ne bourre pas.

    Hi-- this is wonderful. ONe question-- did you have to weld anything on the trailer coupler or were able to use all bolted connections? Can you share where you found the coupler?

    • @strauss_house
      @strauss_house  Год назад

      Don, we uses a class 3 A-Frame trailer tow bar assembly, it comes with pivot mounts, we used 5/8" bolts with washers and nuts to attach to the wood frame. here is the link www.princessauto.com/en/class-iii-adjustable-a-frame-tow-bar/product/PA0008041550

    What's the big S turn in the background at 3:30? Just your groomer path back uphill? Kind of reminds me of a snowmobile sno-cross track!

    • @strauss_house

      Hey, just a path back up so I dont get stuck, snowcross track sounds good! maybe that will be next lol

    Do you think you can pull that behind a Polaris 600 RMK to groom short local snowmobile trails? Maybe a narrower version 48" X 72"

    • @strauss_house
      @strauss_house  3 года назад +1

      It would pull it no problem, but if you have a lot of snow lift the front of the groomer up. I would be cautious not to over heat the engine, I use an 2004 Arctic Cat 660 Turbo 4 stroke has a lot of torque

    Do you think the diagonal pieces make a huge difference in the final product? As in, if you just had the part with the culvert do you think it would work as well?
    Also with the diagonals, do you find too much snow getting put onto the one side vs the other?

    • @strauss_house
      @strauss_house  3 года назад +1

      Billy, the snow spreads very equally, yes you can remove the diagonals in powder but it does note groom out the bumps very well, I actually use another version I built to groom when we have over a foot of snow, hope to have time
      soon to post it

      In order to build a solid base,snow has to be shuffled and aired out,this is done with those diagonals.
