[@GAIS414]

Bigger diameter roller and more weight, to compress snow instead of pushing it. If the compression is not that important he could have added some skis to the thing, to help lift the roller a little bit and let the snow pass under it with less compression as a result.

Should place some 1" cleats across the roller to bite into the snow and force rotation so it doesn't pile snow in front of it. Something like 1"x1" L bar. A length bolted every 6 inches or so. Alternatively, could use some sheet metal to build a skid plate so it forces the roller to go over the snow instead of pulling through it.

Those tracks, man what a pain. I learned to pack 2 of my ATV wheels with me if and when the tracks broke. Great video! I like your brush trail clearing design, just a thought, not being able to visibly see it in person only by video, it feels like it may need more low center weight to help with stability. Won't fix it, but could possibly help reduce so much flopping around, anyway, great video, looks beautiful out there.

[@roberth3094]

I believe you need weight on that. Even when you were using it to trim branches you needed weight .Weight on the frame will force the wheel to turn in all snow. It will also keep it upright. If you look closely when you were going over that tree earlier when you were turning around when you could not fit between two trees , You can see that track was having a problem.

[@ChristopherBix]

My first thought when seeing how the roller tended to plow was to just put some bolts through it like studs on a tire or when you added those screw in studs to a track not long ago. Just some studs to prevent slippage and overcome the rolling resistance. As to getting hung up when trees were too close, not a lot could be done other than carrying a working chain saw. I also envision blades that would move against each other much like an electric hedge trimmer, but that would require a power source and would be much more complex and more opportunity to fail.

[@blueboatone5653]

As always, you demonstrate tremendous creativity in your mechanical skills and a true genius for KZbin.

You could always add some sort of ballast in the centre of the frame above the culvert pipe which would help push the pipe into the wet snow which might make it easier to roll plus adding the ballast in the centre will help with the centre of gravity and stop it tipping as easily

[@fredacress4385]

Could also add blades across the top of the frame perhaps

He put the big black pipe on it to pack down the snow to help the snowmobiles go easier not so he could use the cutter in the snow. He put it on the limb cutter to give the benefit of being able to the trim limbs while rolling the snow but the big idea with the pipe is to roll the snow flat and pack it some so the snowmobiles go better when they ride for fun. He used that yellow specifically built to do snowmobile trail grooming machine that had a roller (the machine at the end of the video) for doing this last year so he's trying to do it himself this year. I don't know if the machine isn't available for them to use all the time or if they have to rent it but whatever the situation is he chose to try to make this to do the snowmobile trail grooming himself now.

you could make the arms fold down so when you don’t wanna trim the trail it would be more agile

[@SmlyWenr]

I’d like to elaborate on this. Chop the top off from the bottom of the beam. Then weld some pegs on the bottom of the upper beam to fall into the square tubes of the arms. drill some holes to run a pin through the arms and pegs, then 2 holes, one on each upper/forward corner. Fold the arms forward and down then drop the top bars pegs through the pin hole and through the trailer. BAM a regular trailer without blades on the deck. Looks like the arms are 3in thick, so (even though it’s over kill) that warrants the use of a chunky 2in pin that would survive Andrew trying to shave the wheels off of a landing plane. Or since it’s Andrew we’re talking about he’d probably just use some 3/4 or 1in rebar as pins.

Do watch your videos and learn from them to improve on things! I can suggest to you to get blades on top of your trimmer, (watch your video,) some kind of weight in the roller drum, maybe on the cart or try a bigger pipe! You can also get something in the front of the cart to first push down the snow lower in deeper snows, to prep for the roller to do its job better, maybe double pipes!!

That was an interesting video Andrew! The concept was brilliant by itself but adding more weight with extra rollers etc. will render your device useless because it won't be able to go uphill. (unless the tow vehicle is a bull dozer)The answer I'd suggest is teamwork. During summer have a team go up the trails with chainsaws and cut down the stumps and trees to create a 14 foot wide path for the winter team. The winter team would start with the snow cat plow shown in the video and clear the deeper snow off your trail and you follow with your invention to clear off the branches and groom the trail.

have you considered a low friction plastic v shaped hull under the frame? it would be good to extend to the height of the culvert axle in the centre. then in light snow it should have some buoyancy to help the culbert float over the snow. it should also reduce snow buildup by plowing it outwand. i think it would be cool to put a screw thread on the top and bottom frames so that you could widen or narrow the trailer depending on the needs of the train. you could trim a foot off the culvert wheel and have that fixed the the tailer but the box fram and bracing would screw in and out.

Most great designs are the result of an evolution of small improvements. Watching you prep it for repair I thought to myself those blade triangles could use some gussets. Then 8:02 rolls around and I see gussets on them! : )

I love your "I can fix that" attitude when it comes to broken stuff. Putting cutter blades on the top cross bar may help trim off some more low hanging branches. Just a thought.

I'm very interested in your project, being a member of a 4 wheeler club. I'd really love to rest my back, pulling the bush cutter behind my wheeler. Great idea, keep them coming.

In the beginning I thought I was watching The A-Team! Great design. Maybe some blades on the top might help? 🤔 😎👍

One of those dirty jobs that now one gets credit for, until you get slapped in the face by a 2 inch branch.
