  Its called a CATALANCHE and yes they are a little spooky when you experience your first one , especially on a snowmobile trail with mountain on one side and "Air" on the other !!! Popping tiller in reverse helps also good video by the way thanks !!

• 
  @wesdailey99648 ай бұрын

  With the alpine tiller probibly the easiest way is to vary your depth of cut which opens or closes the face and changes the angle of attack of the tiller which in different conditions will eliminate the mound , backing off or adding down pressure via the rotary dial also can alleviate the problem, depends on the snow and precise use of the blade helps a bunch ,Carrying a roll and feeding the tiller snow can affect outcome as well, all depends on temp , compaction and water content !!! Good video thanks 👍

  As a second season groomer, I found your videos very useful. I particularly liked the problem and solutions aspect. Actually seeing the effect of opening the chamber or slowing the tiller speed on the product sure beets experimenting. A suggestion for an episode would be on different snow conditions. Working icy or wet snow conditions would be helpful. Thanks.

  @mikesprigg3496 Жыл бұрын

  Pretty good advice and those were pretty good passes. We usually skip pass on stuff like that, just try to leave a riggie about two feet wide then it's easy to clean up. I think your setup of where you drop in is pretty important also. It's hard to fight those instincts but keeping your tracks moving is key. We call it a controlled slide, I think the manual says something about when your ground speed is faster than track speed ??? good work /:^)

  I operate a bison S like yours full time, and my favorite rpm for it is 1450 rpm. allows the machine to develop all of its torque and the tiller to do a great job no matter the conditions. If you're in a snowstorm and want to fly fast, then just floor it.

  Come on, man!!!....breaking traction for 10-15 feet is hardly a "power slide"!!! Make a video when the slide is a few hundred feet long....you managed to stay on the grooming line AND left a skiable surface behind you!! In a slide, even one as short as yours, throwing the uphill track in reverse is a sure way of leaving a mess behind you AT BEST and a very possible way of detracking the machine AT WORST.

  Nice ride. Was wondering what you think about the center operator position. Back in the day I operated Thyokol/DMC/LMC cats and they were all center operator positioned. I then went to a PB and it took a little time to feel comfortable with the operators position. Kinda of like how I felt when I visited Ireland and drove a right hand drive car. Lol

•

  Hopefully for the sanity of you and the mechanics, they opt for a tier 5 bison. We have two tier 4 Bison X. Between the electrical gremlins, cracked frames, windshield wipers not hitting the windshield, tiller lift pins breaking, it’s always something. Getting past the negatives. I typically find myself every night. Tshirt and windows open. Windows and sunroof seem to be the best climate control. As for RPM range, I run strictly foot throttle, however I typically find myself anywhere from 1200-1600rpm and use about 60-70gal in a 10 hour shift. I think the other guys run about 1500rpm. They really are great machines that get the job done, they’re just quirky…but what cat isn’t.

•

  Yes, they are talking tier 5 for next year for the very reasons you've cited. Thanks sharing your recommendations. I did notice that this Bison drinks the fuel alot faster than the yellow BR350. I went through 60 gallons last night in 6 hours.

• 
  @TheGorillaExhibit Жыл бұрын

  @@totheedge1138 yeah the bison is a thirsty beast. I chalk it up to the emissions garbage. I average about 45-47 gallons in 10 hours in a BR350. We may not be the tallest in elevation but ski traffic warrants nightly rebuilds on most trails. I’d be interested to see where I’d be fuel usage wise on a bigger mountain.
