TUCKER SNO-CAT GROOMER

If you've ridden many groomed trails, undoubtedly you've encountered a large tracked vehicle pulling or pushing some type of groomer, leaving behind an 8 to 24 foot wide groomed trail.
   Tucker Sno-Cat is such a machine. Tucker manufacturers four models which are promoted for snowmobile trail use:  The smaller 1300 series, 1600 series and the 1642ME (mid engine). Special features such as four track feel and forged footing give groomers such as this from Tucker, increased efficiency.

John Deere advertised that before you buy a snowmobile, weigh the competition.
