    New Pistenbully 100 info wanted

    I imagine so. At one time I think you could get a new PB Scout with blade for somewhere in the neighborhood of 100k but I bet those days are past.

    New Pistenbully 100 info wanted

    I have 4 pieces of equipment for moving snow. The snowcat is my favorite to operate but the least suitable for plowing something like a driveway. They aren't really designed for plowing down to dirt, and its relatively hard on the tracks, and there isn't a blade trip mechanism to protect the...

    New Pistenbully 100 info wanted

    Unless you are grooming and need a tiller, I think the advice above to check out the PB Scout would be a great way to go.

    PN 160D manual and serial decoded

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Wondering if the S/N should start with WKK813? If it is 813, then 14430 would be a 1996. That was the last year they built the 160D.

    PN 160D manual and serial decoded

    WKK81300001014176 was an early build in 1993. Your machine must have the VM engine?

    GSA Lmc

    I'm probably an outlier here. With 500 hours if the hydrostatics are in good shape and if it had a 6 or 8-way blade I think it could be worth $25k-30k. A near miss.

    Shopping for a Cat: What is best?

    Floating on top of powder in the backcountry is everyone's dream. Sometimes the dream is different than the reality. Most people who need to access terrain continually like cat skiing operations pack their travel routes early in the season and then continue to use them frequently enough that...

    Shopping for a Cat: What is best?

    H.R. - Are the areas you will travel in used by other machines as well, or will you be packing & maintaining your travel routes by yourself? When you get storms, how much snow do you get in a single storm, or say over the course of a good snow week? Regarding PB Scouts, I kind of watch...

    Need Some Advice About Our Remote Cabin Property

    Good posts above. I groom cross-country ski trails in an area that gets a lot of snow and wind. When the snow is new and very deep, I break trail with the blade and grooming attachments up and make one more passes just track-packing. But if your chosen entry route is on a slope and prone...

    Old PB100 VM Diesel Issues

    If they put GPs from a 12v system into a 24V circuit they won't last long. If you can't get new plugs from someone like vmengineparts.com or if their shipping it too high to North America, likely you could get them from PB in Reno. PB will charge 2x for them, but once you have the part...

    Old PB100 VM Diesel Issues

    Have you gotten around to checking the glow plugs? Valve adjustment is another possible issue, in addition to compression and battery mentioned above. On the OM617A engine in my PB130D I found one of the 5 GP's burned out, replaced it and found it started better at temps down to about 20...

    WTS: PistenBully 5.5-12 tires (Spares)

    I have four PB 5-lug tires 5.5x12 on 3.5-12 rims. These are beat up but they hold air and could be used as spares. Tires have various sized chunks, some have circumferential splits but I groomed for 2 winters on them with zero failures <but not without worrying> so I feel comfortable selling...
