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. I' : I Ii
