Renovating is a term that our Mtn. Ops. guys use. Here is a photo of the "renovator" that is used in "renovating" trails, going down about 8-10". We then go over it with a regular tiller to smooth it out.

I wonder if I could borrow one of those in a few months when my wife's backyard garden needs the soil tilled prior to planting things?? Who cares if the Bombardier's/Prinoth's in that pick are way too big for the 12' x 10' garden we have! It sure would be a blast to operate a cat! ;)

Yes the way they are setup they would work nice in the garden Dr. Jeff, Don't know who set them up for them but they need to make some changes for them to work better in snow. They may work but they would work better with a few changes. Nice to see them being used by some one. Those are Mt. Tillers on the back of the tractor. Renovator goes on the front of the tractor.Have heard they have help tthe snow surface conditons some. any truth to that? Keep up the good work Killington.
