All
new in 2000, the Tidd Tech Snow Roller is an extremely tough implement
designed to compliment our Trail Tenderizer or other finish grooming
tools. Whether you are interested in packing early season snow, handling
the “big dumps” or just trying to conserve every inch of your
precious snow base, this is the roller for you. Constructed from very
stiff and durable HDPE double wall culvert material, the drum will roll
over rocks and stumps without damage and shed sticky snow. The drawbar
is built just like our proven Trail Tenderizers, with a shear pin hitch
to protect both the equipment and operator. And to top it all off, we
have added an innovative basket system that will hold two 30 gallon
plastic trash cans on the drawbar – great for hauling snow to the bare
spots, shovels, trail or race signs, and even skis and poles.
What
will a roller do for you? We believe that a roller is a useful tool
when used in conjunction with a grading and leveling implement like the
Trail Tenderizer. There are three primary reasons to supplement your
grooming with a roller:
-
A
roller can be used during the early season to pack the snow base
before it is possible to use a finish tool like the Trail
Tenderizer.
-
A
roller can be used to pre-pack deep snowfalls – a condition that
would normally require multiple passes “pre-packing” with just
the snowmobile before finish grooming.
-
A
roller will pack all the available snow into the snow base without
displacing any to the side of the trail.
-
A
deep ribbed roller like ours will leave a pattern that catches
blowing and drifting snow during and after a storm. It is possible
to actually gain base beyond what has fallen from the sky by
continually rolling during periods of blowing and drifting snow.
What
can’t a roller do? A roller cannot level and grade like the Trail
Tenderizer or other finish tools. One of the advantages of a roller is
that it does not displace snow (see #3 above). High and low points will
remain after rolling and should eventually be graded with an implement
like the Trail Tenderizer.
