The Ranger, with treads on it.
The groomer (Prinoth Bison), with the tracks off. The tracks are about 5’ wide, each.
It has a microsuede Recaro bucket seat.
The Toro Workman 3200 - basically like a kei truck. It’s mid-engine and RWD.
Oh, and it has a 3-speed manual transmission, with locking dual-range diff and hydraulic dump bed.
Looking down the business end of a Kid Wizzard snowmaking gun - 3/8” Husky ratchet for scale. Each of those 135 nozzles is a 5/8” hex head. I had to pull all of them out, clean them, put Teflon on the threads, and put them back. Since it’s brass into aluminum, I had to do it by hand. If you fed kerosene into it instead of water (and had a Mapp torch to light it), it’d probably do a good impersonation of a jet turbine.

That looks cold.

In the top picture it was 35F outside. Plus the Ranger has a heater installed.

I would get in so much trouble there.
That Ranger looks like a blast!

Like a race car, but not.

A race car doesn’t have twin throttles and a joystick control.

I have an unnatural level of want for one of these. You know, for my less than 1/4 acre suburban lawn .,.,

The Toro 3200 is only RWD.
For $3700 minitruckdealer.com has a 1990 Honda Acty kei truck with fulltime 4WD and 36k miles for $3700.

Oh man. That would be so insanely cool to own!
