the lttle thing hs an impressive track and a plus for Big Al who likes the one of a kind machines it's already pained krusty orange

 

[spencerhenry]

[fogtender]

Looks interesting, must have been less popular than the Krusty's, they at least made a few of them, this is the first snow "Spyder" I've ever seen!

With that suspension, looks like it has the ride of a brick.

Had one a few years ago, parts are easy to find, They were built in Calgary, Alberta the company is still building machines but way more on the industrial side.

what is the name of the company that built it? - I talked to the owners by phone - brand new tracks - emailed a question about the state of the hydraulics but haven't heard back yet

 

[sleddogracer]

@ Spencer Henry - it wieghs about 1700lbs, they told me, and it's about 11 feet long - width to the outside of the tracks is 10 feet, I think he said

 

[Kootenay Cruiser]

They were built by Foremost, I was told they were built out of spare parts from the big rigs they build. If you look close at the machine you can find almost all the parts at Princess Auto.

now that's interesting - hhhhmmmmmm

Does anybody know how theese machines perform?

 

[Kootenay Cruiser]

They are a little under powered with the v4 but run well. You have to remember that these machines are hydrostatic drive and if you blow a hose and dont carry spares and oil to fix, its going to be a long cold walk.
