TRI-COUNTY    SNOWMOBILE CLUB .
Maintaining the Dickinson County Snowmobile Trail System in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Grooming Equipment used to maintain the 118 mile of trail in Dickenson County.

The Tri-County Snowmobile Club (TCSC) has over half a million dollars of grooming equipment, including the drags that do the actual grooming. TCSC has an 2004 Fent Tractor, a 2008 Fent Tracked Tractor and 2009 Piston Bully. The Piston Bully and tracked Fent replaced our older 94 and 98 LMC groomers. Our newer groomers reduce maintenance cost and get better gas mileage than the old LMC's. Having the two Fent Tractors that are almost identical has allowed the comparison of mileage between the two. The track make it much easier to groom but they do reduce the gas mileage. The LMC equipment has been sold and the money put into the new equipment.
Our newest groomer a 2009 Piston Bully is very easy to drive and does get good gas mileage.
New in 2008. Our tracked Fent can take any hill that we have with ease. The track give it excellent traction, but its ground weight is still a lightly high for the swampy areas during the early parts of the season. Gas mileage is slightly lower due to the track but not much.
When the LMC broke through the ice on the Cassidy Creek Trail, it was a real chore to get it out. Thanks to MJ Electric for their assistance in getting it out of the swamp,
