By L.R.Massie and H.D. Bruhn
in Sno-Mobile Times
The increased use of Snow-
mobiles for work and recreation
in Wisconsin has produced a need
for equiptnent to maintain the
-trails. A 'heavily used trail. can
become very rough and dangerous
to the snowmobile operator. N
moving snowmobile thrOWs snow
to 'the sides and produces hum-
mocks , often fifteen feet from
peak to peak.
Design limitations on trail
maintenance equipment are
rather rigid.' Terrain, forest
cover, distance from .inajor
roads, and' snow depths varying
from a few inches to several
feet are,important factOrs.Power
is supplied by medium .to large
snowmobiles. The machine must
be so constructed that one man
can free the unit if it gets stuck in
a remote location. It must also
work in all snow conditions, from
powder to ice.
A snowmobile trail• leveler
hae been developed to operate
effeCtriely in most conditions.
Built primarily of angle iron and
flat steel, it weighs approximate- '
ly 150 /pounds. Additional weight
can be I added if sufficient power ,
for towing is' available. A' swivel'
hitch allows for flexibility when
' either the snowmobile or the
leveler tip over. The tongue is
designed to, make the machine.
smooth out the ""wash-board ef=
fect" as it is pulled along the
trail. Spring loaded stabilizers
reduce sidesway or "fish tailing"
of the " leveler. Depth control
(draft limiting) adjustments are
provided at both the front and
rear. -
Plans are provided for "the
leveler that was tested over the
past two years .. The structural
frame is made of oak 2 x
Plans are algo provided for an
improved model made entirely of
steel. It is stiffer, stronger and
should be easier to' construct.
