Has anyone ever seen the old groomer in the woods off Big Dipper at Loon? I think it got stuck there sometime in the 70's (or 80's?) and was never removed. I'll try to get a picture sometime.

O'hara, weasel and Kristi. Nice pics. The O'hara is the part of the old LMC's.

The designs are similar, but O'hara owns no rights to the LMC machines. I don't recall who owned LMC last (progression was Thiokol -> DMC -> LMC -> someone else), but they basically just dissolved the entire company, and did not sell the designs for anyone else to manufacture.

My first thought when I saw the Deer Forte 330 was that it was a new LMC 3700 or 260C, but its design is only based off of the concept of the LMC machines.

You can check 'em out at www.snowcats.com

I'd like to see that. I'd also like to hear the story behind a groomer getting stuck in the woods and being left for dead...

Bully wins every time! :wink:

Actually, I've never been in a Bison before. I guess they're making a center-seat version. I'd like to give that machine a whirl sometime. But I've been way less than impressed with what I've seen from the BR-350's. Just seems to be one thing after another.

Try to ignore the 'vintage posters' and look at the last item. :-D

Looks like a PB 300W. I think Pisten Bully sells models like that directly from their store. But it's a good thing you posted the image in the thread, because I'm having trouble scrolling past the 'vintage posters'! :wink:

Well, I did say 'try'. :-D That doesn't always infer any hope of actually succeeding.
