New Equipment

[Johnnie]

Last Fri. the Board of Directors of the 100 Mile Snow Safari aboved the purchase of a new 2008 extended cab Sno Tucker which will be used in the Wabeno area. We traded in the older Sno Cat which will be for sale from Track Inc. 952-888-7372 The Board also approved the purchase of a new 2007 Case MX140 tractor to be used in the Laona-Crandon area. WIth these we will also have the 2007 Tucker in Armstrong Cr. and 2007 Trailmaster drags in Wabeno and Laona all ready to go next fall for an anticipated great snow year!!!! We will be ready motivate in 2008!!!!

Maybe it'll be outfitted with massive defense systems and keep huge 4wd trucks from digging foot-deep ruts in our routes!

Cool New equit. for the best trails in the state! :thumbup: What model is the tucker? Is it the 3 person? Any new trails to be groomed next season? Is it to early to start to:thinksnow:

The old Case was traded-in. When the new one is ready, Quinnlan's out of Antigo will pick up the old one. The Old Tucker is already at Track Inc. in Minn. for sale.

Curious why the Case for the Crandon/Laona trails and the Tuckers for the other sections? Is it because in the Crandon/Laona area the trails are wider? Does the Case have a higher cruising speed while grooming?

We have been running a Tractor in the Laona/Crandon area for over 10 years. Like a contactor told me years ago, "If you can get away with running wheeled equipment do it. It is a lot cheaper to run, but there are times and places you need tracked equipment." In the Crando/Laona area we have no swamps and no large steep hills or open fields so we can get away with using a wheeled tractor. The Armstrong Cr. area has some large swamps and they need a tracked vehicle with better flotation. Wabeno has large hills leaving Wabeno toward Armstrong and between Valley Inn and Windfall Lk. so they need a tracked vehicle also. It is cheaper to run wheeled vehicles but there are times we need the Tuckers. It is also nice to keep one tractor to do summer work. The tractor right now is in Armstrong Cr with the brush mower widening some of our trails in that area. Thanks for the thoughful question.
