I think this is my favorite. If I ever own a tucker, this will be it.

In many respects Tucker and Bombardier are tied for 1st place. Where Kossbhorer/Pistonbully only produces a Groomer, Tucker and Bombardiere produce a wide range of machines for other applications. Many members of the FF use there machines to access cabins. Both Tucker and Bombardier produce a class specifically for this that are classed as "ACCESS MACHINES" which are also widely used by Phone and Power Companies, as well as the National Park and Forest Services. (The "Access Machine" class is generally defined as Machines UNDER 8 foot wide, and Thiokol also recognized this. A Snow Trac would be an Access machine, A Snow Master is a Groomer). Also Both companies have been continuously in businesss since the 20's, and are still in business. Because of the Millitary applications of the Haglund, it is possible and even quite likely that Haglund has Out Produced Tucker and Bombardier in sheer numbers. It may take a bit of researching, but it wouild be interesting to see what the total production numbers for these 3 competitors is. From purely a practicallity standpoint I still favor the Tucker for it's manuverability and maintenance.
very very well put.
one of the things with a tucker is 98 -99 % is user serviceable, and the part list you can pick up all most any of the parts needed to fix it from auto zone or the local car part store. and the mechanic really doesn't need any more training then working on a 4X4 truck.
