I feel bad for the club and operator ,,, this is a very unfortunate mishap...

Definitely a set back for the season...

Hope the enviro wing nuts don't use this against the club.

It's going to cost a ch!t ton of money to extricate that machine from that situation. Just getting the equipment up there to do it is going to be costly. It's not a good thing any way you slice it

Should be able to.pull it out with another groomer. Gonna need a few repairs after though lol

 

[Lem Lamb]

Yes, another groomer,,, a few ground mats,,, a couple of lefting stands or tripods in the 10 ton range each and it should come out easy...

Two 5 ton lifts might even work,,, depends on how boogged down it is...

We were lucky on our retrievel with a 45 ton crane and gin-pole truck,,, 60 + sheets of matting needed too get at it...

She was 20 ++ tons with ice and crap frozen too it...

Mustang might have their gin-pole cat at the lodge,,, there just down the hwy

I would imagine the trail will be wrecked on the way down dragging it or would they plow to the top and truck it out?

That's what I was wondering. Will the tracks turn when it's dead?

 

[lilduke]

I imagine they will just drag it out.

Not the first time they have had to.pull out a groomer

Can't see them opening that road it would take a few days and cost a small fortune in cross plowing and grading.

They’ll just pull it out with another groomer, happens lots outside the mountains, groomers go through the ice up in lake country in Sask. ours in Whitecourt broke through the river a few years ago. Usually they are a write off though after recovery

You can disengage the final drives

Not so bad then. I've drug a few compact track loaders in my time. No nice way to unlock the drives.

Yes.... little harder if the water gets in and freezes. Then they become a real turd, take the tracks off and pull it on the wheels

Supposedly two machines organized for tomorrow to attempt dragging it out .Thinking someone’s going to have to get wet to hook up properly
