Thiokol Hydromaster Groomer on the way! (Thanks to Pizza Depot)
Thikol Hydromaster Groomer
In an
arrangement with long time snowmobiler and member Rusty Rhoads from the
Pizza Depot (Chaffee, NY), we will be adding a Thiokol Hydromaster 200 hp Groomer with
a 10 foot wide drag for the 2005-06 year.
The Thiokol Hydromaster is quite the machine- in a test run along a
drifted fenceline the yellow beast was able to fill up the drags with a
tremendous amount of heavy snow- without slowing or straining in the
slightest.

Rusty
purchased and refurbished both the Hydromaster and the drags. The
Hydromaster had to be made narrower by 2 feet, while the drags
(purchased from Minnesota) were widened by two feet to make the
grooming rig 10 feet wide. The Snosurfers have built the last
couple bridges wide enough to accommodate the wider groomer.
We anticipate using this groomer in conjunction with our Massey
Ferguson tractor groomer to ensure that we keep our trails in tip-top
shape, assuming winter ever gets here. A photo album is now available
in our club photo album section- we'll be updating this with some day
time pictures when weather permits (ideally grooming pictures).
Thanks Rusty!
