Looks pretty functional...where are you located ? I can't think of a single acre of land in BC that I don't like..not one....but the Selkirks are special even there in God's Country...

POLL: What brand snowcat do you own?

Well...that is true but I sure prefer Vancouver to Seattle.. I guess I was thinking of larger geographical areas...I am sure there are some dumps or mining sites or swamps etc...but you get my point..I hopeYou obviously haven't spent time in Surrey!
great to have you as a member, can you post a larger picture?

Thanks for the welcome.
I'm new to owning one.I'll try to attach pics. I looked at many for my particular application and budget. This one is pretty basic and easy to work on. A bit crude in steering but does the job. I'm 15 kms in over snow in winter. Carries passengers also. I get copious amounts of snow here. I don't have to climb in elevation for my access but have to deal with some avalanche paths that create side hills on my road in. I'm looking at putting a blade on it to cut crossings on them next winter.
This is a great forum, I've learned lots from just reading the postings even before joining.
I'm in the learning curve about what to have on hand for spare parts here and it seems the drive cog looks similar to some I have seen on other cats. Was thinking it may be good to have a spare one or do they not just break all of the sudden?
I'm in the Selkirk mtns, near Revelstoke B.C. Canada.
35 kms south of the Rogers Pass.

Bartuff-
The road is now open in summer. It has been shut for over two years because a rockfall that took out the canyon bridge in 2006. About 100 tons of rock came down on it. My two wheeled vehicles were on the inside when it happened (it's happened before so I leave something inside always) and I've been packing jerry cans of fuel/food/guests/truck parts etc over it for two years. Will be nice to drive in again once snow melts. *until it does it again.
There's a pic lower down on my website of me standing on the top of the mass of rock on the bridge. You cant see the bridge under it but the rock wall to the right is sheer and then it drops off the left 50 meters down to the river.

Tetonka,
One question: Do forum members get a discount?
Simply breath taking scenery in those photographs. Driven through Banff to Lake Louise, but never saw anything like that. I guess its time to get off the asphalt to see some more of interior BC.

Welcome to the bottemless-wallet world of snowcats!
That is a keen place you got there. Do you happen to have any info on your geothermal refrigeration and microhydo system? I am working on a off-the-grid alpine cabin here in Alaska and am looking something just like what you have installed.
Ditto Fred! I would also love to find out more about your geothermal refrigeration and microhydro system. We have just started looking into "off the grid" living but mostly have looked at solar and wind.......hydro is intriguing

I groom snowmobile trails south and up the east side of Crater Lake National Park with an OSSA 1998 tiller Tucker 2000 wide track.
I am working on a 1964 Thiokol 1202 A or b? It needs the under carriage rebuilt. Ready to pull it in the shop. It came with a matching Thiokol trailer. It is a 36 inch wide track. OC 12 with reduction. Wonder..is the drive sprocket and bogie's offset to put the wider tracks on??

Howdy,
I couldn't decide on a Tucker vs the Super Imp WT for backcountry skiing approach and access to my cabin in Idaho. I went with the IMP due to its compact size. I am going to try it out this weekend. I am worried it wont have the muscle or floatation to climb in deep powder. I guess I will find out! How do you find the differences in your machines?

Hello all from the national capitol area (Canada). Wow, what a "read" it has been in the last 5 days going thru all your posts. I just put a deposit on a 1973 SW-48 and picking it up this Saturday. Can't wait to really own my first tracked beast. I know, I know, y'all want pics...but I have to pick it up first. See y'all on Saturday.
