[NorthernRedneck]

I got dibbs on the full cab Imp! Really I got dibbs on it. WOW those little Imps are GREAT! The owner took me and Bob out and toured his property today. This included climbing some serious Hills with I am guessing 18" of snow. We had a blast today and the Owner MAC and his wife were some of the nicest people we have met! Thanks to them for the great day!

Huh? Look again. Don't you CanUKs read english? Ha! And by the way, looking at your snowcat budget, it's no wonder the best you could do is a Lametrac!

By the way, Mikey helped groom a slope today, a first for him. The slopes were in the 20% grade range and the Imp wasn't even breathing hard. It was pulling a 400lb roller, AND Mikey was on board! He was in the right seat, but he was there!

Wow Bob watching the video made me feel like I was there. Oh wait I was! LOL. Very cool Bob! I dont care what GroomerGuy says about you your OK!

 

[NorthernRedneck]

Ok, there it is...............didn't see a link the first time I looked at your post. Nice!

Who'd a thunk, Bernalillo, NM?! While me and SnoOps were passing through NM, we stopped at a gas station and saw this beastie. It was being hauled by a couple of guys who do mountain top tower maintenance. We convoyed out of town.

Is that front pintle hitch bent down from the chain and binder being too tight?

 

[Bobcat]

Looks like it.

"HIGH PLAINS SNOW CAT?"

 

[Bobcat]

Not a snowcat, but in the snow. This one is in Dolores, CO. There is another one about an hour west of this one.

 

[Bobcat]

Somewhere north of Groundhog Reservoir, CO. Looks like they met a tree on the trail and smashed all the lights on that side and cracked the windshield. Couple of pictures of a 'lesser' machine at the bottom of the post (that oughta rile live2ride).

 

[Bobcat]

SnoOps new snocat design, the SnowPuss. It's ready to tow broken down Slow Masters (are there any other kind?).

Big Talk from a Kristi owner!

You really get around Bob. I recognize Main Street Catskill, NY. What nearby seismic station were you visiting? Went winter camping west of there when I was 18. It was -25' F (a record low) in Catskill that night, we figured it was -30ish where we camped at 3000'+. We obviously lacked the sense to postpone the trip, but fortunately had the sense and training to recognize the early warning signs of hypothermia, and took the right steps to survive...with all our fingers and toes even.

Is/was that something that was setup to display for the tourist, or did they really run that between towns? If so, looks like it would have been really fun to ride in!

Here you go Bob........instead of just looking at snowcats and drooling all the time, here's one you could pick up and take with you.

Looks like they actually ran at one time. Now they seem to have been auctioned off or something and the town of Dolores has set one up for display in front of their city museum. The other one I saw is parked on some private property just off the highway.

I do own a fabulous snow-conquering machine. I'm just not near enough to it to take her out for a spin. And I'm surprised that after all the trouble you've had with your Lametrac that you would recommend one to anyone else!!

 

[Bobcat]

Not a snowcat, but what a cool machine!

Found in Socorro, NM.

Not I, but I have seen those photos before..... on the forums even.... possibly from Lyndon? It does not look like Minnesota unless it is lake superior area.

It is a very good looking machine and somebody did a great job. could be cool Today minus 25 without the wind chill......

Spotted at a utility yard in Ft. Defiance, AZ (Navajo Reservation).

 

[Mainer]

Spotted at the top of Zugerberg mountain, Switzerland

 

[couchloafer]

Bonneville Power had this Tucker sitting outside their yard in Ellensburg, WA this morning. I missed getting a picture of the Seattle City Light truck running down the freeway with another cat...........

 

[pixie]

Nice !!

Looks like they need a little more tongue weight or a little more air in the trailer tires .......
I like the blade rest

The cat Mainer got a picture of has a unique plow attachment. What brand is that cat ?

 

[Bobcat]

I'll be making a big road trip this weekend and into next week. Heading from Socorro, NM through Grand Junction, CO, SLC, and straight to Reno, NV. Then back again. Hopefully I'll spot some cats that I missed before, but I also plan on getting those scans of Sharpes photo album!

 

[Bobcat]

Spotted on the wrong side of the tracks in Winnemucca, NV.

 

[Bobcat]

Located in Albuquerque, NM. The only cat owned by the state and used to maintain all of the state-owned communications towers. It was purchased within the year for $20,000 and just got all new tires.
