“New to Us” Groomer

The “new to us” groomer arrived Wednesday morning, March 4th (2009) at Pat's For Tires. The groomer was transferred to a flatbed and delivered to the groomer barn. The groomer is a 1995 Piston Bully model PB 260 DW. According to John Beggs, the groomer is in great shape, better than the same model we looked at south of Syracuse, yet was purchased for $20,000 less. The groomer has a 2001 motor in it, has recently-replaced track belts, and has about half the hours of the unit we are replacing. We have decided to narrow the tracks, rather than widen our garage doors and trails as was originally discussed at our meeting, thus saving the club an added expense. A big THANK YOU is extended to everyone who donated to our groomer replacement fund and to Larry Casalenuovo for donating his time and all trip expenses to go to Colorado and inspect the groomer. Thanks to Millie for sharing her photos shown below. The winch seen on the back of the groomer and a tiller that came with the machine will be sold.
