make a mini-grommer that u could pull behind a sled? For some of these small narrow trails around the cottage i wish i could do something to make them a lil smoother.

They make drags for pulling behind Ski Doo Alpines, etc.

Anything for arctic cat?

You can make you own. It doesn't matter what kind of sled that you ride.

A friend used to have a groomer that hooked to his XCSP 600, that he got when he bought the sled (used) and it was just a little wider then the sled, and had lights on it that plugged into the sled.

we drag one behind a 4 wheeler. it was custom made, but im sure you can find them. works pretty good too.

They make mini-drags for all the work sleds.

yea, ive seen a few of little groomers behind sleds for the trails that normal groomers cant fit in

I belong to the EZ-riders in Jacksonville Vt. and I saw them dragging what looked like welded angle iron squares with V pointed foward sheet metal in the middle of each square.
I think there was two of these squares chained together being dragged behind each sled. looked homemade to me.

I have one I pull behide my tractor to even out my driveway.

You could try fabracate one.

i live near a trail and offer my time for free riding and i pull around a 4 ft wide square tubing thingy. I tie it to my grab bar(either atv or sled but the atv is funner) and off i go. it doesnt do the best job, it kinda just digs into the high spots to make them lower, it still digs into the lower spots just not as much. For a home made groomer, it does fine but it doesnt compare with the big groomer beast thing they wont let me drive. I wonder why they wont let a 16 yo drive an expensive machine?

Some cross-country skiing trails get groomed that way. When there isnt enough snow to power till the trails they use a drag that they tow behind a snowmobile.

i have actualy fabricated one....what i did was weld a 3x5 ft square out of steel tubing and attaches some chain linked fence to it..like they do for the dirt at baseball games...it works unbelievable! I kid you not..we have tight windy trail where i ride and groomers cant fit but i can...i have had people stop me and thank me and tell me it works great..simple too... there is a down side!!! It puts serious strain on the belt and wears them extremely quick...and they are cheap when you do a couple in one season.... IT WORKS GREAT TRY IT

I can see where that *would* work well. Makes perfect sense... like a cheese grater, for snow.

post a pic of it. please

MackmxzX · 11-01-2005, 08:51 PM

i just read this thread after not being on for a little while...i have it my shed..ill put it out tommorow and take a pic of it!

MackmxzX · 11-02-2005, 05:33 PM

here is the one i made...i just took the pic so its not that clear...i welded a 5 ft square tubing and a 3ft wide square tubing and bolted the fence to it...i used rope from each corner and a beaner clip...if i was to do it again i would make it a tad smaller... maybe a 3x3 instead..it would work just as well
