The Trail Tenderizers
One of the first commercially
available lightweight groomers on the market, the Trail Tenderizer was our
original groomer that is still available today. Since its introduction over 20
years ago, almost every commercial Nordic ski area in North America has owned
one of these units at one time or another which has helped make Tidd Tech the
well-known name it is today. Little has changed with the Trail Tenderizer over
the years. We figure, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The Tenderizer has proven
itself to be a hard-working and durable entry level groomer. We are still
helping customers service units that were manufactured in the early 90's!
The Trail Tenderizer is available in four and six foot models. They pack new
snow, granulate old, hard snow up to 2” deep and set precise tracks (with the
optional TrackSetter) or beautifully combed skate lanes. The Tenderizer features
a manual crank for raising and lowering the tooth bar and the optional
TrackSetter comes with a lift lever kit for raising and lowering without
disturbing newly groomed corduroy. The Trail Tenderizer is an easy to operate
implement that is great for entry level or budget conscious grooming.

The
Four Foot Trail Tenderizer
The
Trail Tenderizer is a multi-purpose implement that has the ability to
groom cross-country trails for both skating and classical skiing in a
variety of conditions. The angle of the compaction bed, made of
extremely durable UHMW plastic, may be adjusted to suit snow conditions
from deep powder to frozen hardpack. As the edge of the compaction bed
is adjusted downward, a double row of knife edge teeth come in contact
with the snow, enabling the machine to renovate tough hardpack or icy
conditions. These teeth also act to grade or level a trail by removing
high points and depositing snow in low areas. The bed tilt adjustment is
accomplished with a hand crank or optional electric actuator that
enables adjustment on the fly from the seat of the snowmobile.
The
trailing edge of the compaction bed has a flexible urethane comb that
leaves a perfect finish to your trail. The front edge of the compactor
sports a urethane flap that helps compact deep powder as well as
protects the implement from impact. Metal surfaces on the machine are
finished in a tough bright red powder coat.
The Trail Tenderizer comes
stock with a loop style hitch. The hitch slides into the Trail
Tenderizer tongue and is protected with a shear pin so that if you come
into contact with a tree or other obstacle, you break only the pin and
other damage to your more expensive groomer is hopefully minimized.
Other hitch types are available upon request to accommodate just about
any sort of tow vehicle.

The Eight
Foot Trail Tenderizer (CURRENTLY NOT PICTURED)
The TT8 eight foot Trail Tenderizer has optional
hydraulic controls of up to three functions: The Toothbar depth
adjustment and up to two Tracksetter controls. The TT8 is designed to be
pulled by small snow cats or vehicles such as the Track Truck. Two lift
point clevises are included on the drawbar to enable lifting of the
implement. Just like our proven four and six
foot wide Trail Tenderizers, the TT8 has a shear pin hitch to
protect both the equipment and operator. The TT8 hydraulic option
further incorporates a breakaway quick coupling on each hydraulic line
at the hitch to allow the hydraulic lines to safely separate under
tension – without damage. Like our smaller Trail Tenderizers, the
compactor bed is UHMW plastic, a very durable, non-stick material.
Finish is, of course, a tough red powder coat.
The
Tracksetter hydraulic system allows placement of
an optional Tracksetter on each side of the TT8, in 3 possible
positions, with separate hydraulic control of each Tracksetter.
