วีดีโอ

I just got home after a season in Sälen, and your videos making me miss it even more :')

For us it was always people with sleds coming out as soon as we lay couple passes on lower mountain....then up top, locals ripping around on snowmobiles throughout the night

so late to your channel - your view count is going to start climbing as i play over and over while i operate a keyboard for work these days! your camera placement/POV is the best i have seen ... thank you from RI, USA

Great to see you back making vids

No mirrors because there are cameras in both directions. Thoose screens below at right side are for them.

That did look like a tight space to operate in. Over here you can take all the construction debris to the recycling place and they divide it up there and recycle what they can and the rest is hauled to the dump from there.

strueth, forgotten I had you subscribed and got a notification.....................sounds like you are going to do a NZ or AU winter season

With a Prinoth you just drive back with it in remote mode and when it has tension and you are still moving backwards you put it into winch mode. Doing what you did can be rough on the winch as it pulls out that slack you had in the cable with winch force. The T5 Leitwolf is a night and day difference between that and the T4. I really like them. Only bad thing is that the view with the winch in the way makes it even worse than the PB winches, but the cameras are better at keeping from getting frosted over.

Where do yall anchor those winches?

That machine also has a red bar visible then climbing up - that one is intended to be used when you want or is required to LOCK the waist steering. Required doing that if the machine has rail follower wheel and you need to deploy them.

Looks like an electronic nightmare.

Excellent thank you!

didnt look for a park brake

not sure if you know that but on prinoth machines theres a double down setting on the suspension ment for pushing. Just sets the supension all they way down and gives you a different attack angle for the blade. I fully agree it feels more like pushing onto the pile in your blade than actually pushing it with Prinoths. Hope you do get back into this line of work again greatly enjoy the videos! :)

I wish i could compare some of the new pb machines to our prinoths. Right now all i can compare is our 2012 10,000+ hour pb 400s to our 2020(and newer) Bison x's. Our problem has been less with the machines and more with the companies. Our Pistenbully reps in the western part of the states have shown little to no intereset in working with a smaller family owned mountain where as prinoth has practically bended over backwards to help accommodate us. The year we made the switch, pistenbully had brought us a worn out 600 to demo that broke down on the first night. Instead of fixing it, they just let it sit at our shop for a week and then came and picked it up. Prionth however brought us a low hour stage 4 bison x and a brand new stage 5 bison x to try out. The Prinoth rep also stayed in a hotel close to the mountain for a couple days and if we had a question or an issue at two in the morning, he'd come up and help out. Ended up buying two brand new cats that year and we've bought two more since then. Now the rookies argue over who gets to run a bison and who gets stuck in a 400. (Spoiled brats, when i was a rookie 6 years ago we were still grooming with LMC 3700s) Great vidoe though! Cool to see some honest comparisons.

Do you have a grooming tutorial for the bison x?

This was so insightful for someone building a radio control 600. Modifying a Dickie Toys PB 600 to have full blade and tiller function on a budget (Not one of those crazy 5k euro kits by Pistenking, I just want to play in the snow haha).

Keep your camera 🎥 on the snow ahead of you,or your going to lose thumb's up

It's so funny to look at you trying to figure everything out when you have the manual behind your back in the picture 😂

Hi) Thanks for the explanations at the end of the video! It helps to understand how people live and work in other places. I live in the north-west of Russia,on the border with Finland.Todey 5 december 2023 уears gazoline price at 50,23 ruble for a liter 92 octane=55 cent usa or 50 cent EU, 95 octane price 54,50 rub =60 cent usa or 54 cent EU and diesel price 65,80 ruble=71 cent usa or 65 cent EU. Аlthough at the beginning of the year It was 2-3 rubles cheaper,I mean, everything is getting more expensive everywhere.

Just some friendly advise: get used to using the joystick for steering, once you get used to it you will not regret it😁

You british? Or maybe aussie? Accent is interesting.

The problem with it dying on idle under warmup is probably because the hydraulic system is cold and requires more rpm to be able to move the components. If i got your explenation right in the video

That was one super smooth video...

Are you in sälen this year in pisten bully miss video fore 23/ 24 😮

Active boom is literally there to help make up for the deficiencies of the capstan winch. When you sit in a Bully winch dial up the pressure while your blade is a foot in the air. What does the blade do? It dives towards the ground a considerable amount. This happens even on steep pulls and from far away from your pick. A lot of the pulling force is wasted pulling your nose into the pack. Now try this in a Prinoth winch. It barely dives to the ground. Almost all that pulling power is pulling you up the hill in a Prinoth. In a Bully, especially the 400 on really steep terrain you literally tank yourself beyond 85% pressure. This is because the capstan winch is placed so far back on the machine. The boom is extremely long and part of why you notice the Prinoth boom can hit the tiller, it sits very close to the machine. So I have worked multiple resorts and ones that are not steep you would never know the limitations of the winch, but on really steep resorts on very soft nights we have seen where the Bully winch can't climb back up with the tiller down while a Prinoth runs over and fixes everything. This is why active boom is a thing, it has to be there to help make up for the capstan deficiencies. I doubt active boom is patented, but it would just add extra weight for not much gain. Now why Prinoth decided to move the track speed to the track controls is beyond stupid and I will never understand that. Both companies do some nice things and some are really questionable. The capstan winch works for most resorts but when it gets real steep and real soft the Prinoth is for sure going to be the more capable machine.

nobody uses that remote here, the winch is pressure sensitive to like the pistenbullys just gotta pull on the cable

I just found your channel a few days ago and really like your voiceover explaining! I am getting back into grooming this year after a few seasons off. Are you going to continue working at this resort and be putting out videos? I really like them and find them very interesting!

Hi! 😊 I really love your videos!😊👍👍 You are doing a great job!😊 Kind regards from Nothern Sweden! ❤️🇸🇪🇸🇪❤️ Ps,You got a new subscriber 😉

Eaton controls. Center engine. Can’t be beat. Balanced machines climb better

Hey man, I just found your channel it’s great, plz keep the videos coming! I’m super keen to get a job as a snow cat driver at the end of the year, ideally in Canada. I can’t for the life of me find any info on how to get into the job though, what experience I can gain before the season starts that may help me land a job. Can you lend some advice at all?

amazing video i want to be 18 and groom

are you going to groom year 2024 ??? cu im going to groom this year in lindvallen

Yo pushin pow. It’s Benny B from Prinoth. That’s a great machine. I’m a Kitty operator and mechanic. What are your honest thoughts? I know your a PB guy. What can be better?

Every heavy machinery has an operator´s manual, next time read it before jumping on the machine.

More grooming

More Huddig please! :)

If you know your slope a gps is unnecessary. Not a chirp lol, clealy you know what you are doing. I never had the luxury of a gps.

Как можно купить эту чудо технику ?

Had a stage 5 Bison for a week, and i got to try it out. After an hour the joystick felt very nice, sure the buttons are a bit cluttered, but the joystick itself was very comfortable, very smooth, and blindingly quick. Got back into our Beast, and i had to relearn the joystick 🤣

Great video! That reel out is super smart! I remember being around a Timberjack Log Skidder and I know that is not the same machine by a long shot, and the winch on it is vastly stronger, but it was 100 pounds of pressure to pull out the line - I was young and could barely move it lol....

Awesome machine.!! Thank you. From what I see on the quick view of the broken stirrup, I wouldn't blame it on the steel or the bend in it. I would sooner say somebody ran that winch cable in too tight and the force from the 10k lb winch cracked it. A bungee cord would work and then the winch wouldn't be brought up too tight. Just a thought.

😪 *Promosm*

Du prata olika fräshastigheter beroende på snökvalitet. Är det vid kramsnö, sockersnö ect?

Hey dude ! Love your vids, they’re really cool. I was just wondering what did you thought about your last season grooming ? Was it a good place ? I’m actually searching for next winter.

Will we get some groomer content anytime soon

Just a hint to make the job faster..just push the snow at the end of the driveway, and slope it all together at the last push, if the machine is up to it of course.

I think that adjustable V plow is the weapon you need. Long straights in deep snow, easier for the machine, and still you can clear parking spaces etc. Otherwise..nice work and keep it up 💪

are you not going to grom more
