…….. BFT, I totally agree, I feel the same way...ive been a Tucker guy since I started working on snocats...30 yrs. ago... I guess the ski mountains can afford it?? around these parts, tuckers have lost the alpine business. prinoth & P/B's have mopped up. I work on all of them, and Tucker's , in my opinion, are much more user friendly for the ''wrench'' guy. but, most of the time , it's the creature comforts, controls, etc... that seem to help sway the rental agreements. the '' two-tracker's'' seem to have a lower center of gravity, but all the components are squeezed between the two tracks, chassis/ area. leaning over the full-length tracks ; to do anything ; is a challenge, hard on the anatomy, etc. but that being said, it's great that everyone has their own preferences on makes/ models/ etc...… would be a boring forum if they were all the same machine.... thx for reading....
