Some years back I lobbied the council for a trail groomer, when we get lots of snow [like this winter] the roads end up like frozen Pacific Ocean swells, hard on old backs and machines.
So after first doing nothing, then buying some dinky little thing that was towed behind a ski doo, some one came up with this idea. Saves about ¼ million bucks by not getting a fancy groomer.
This little Cat and the part of a floor frame of a mobile home do’s the trick.
Time consuming though, takes at least six runs on each side of road before it’s done. He makes first run knocking the high points down with the blade, or when needed. Rest of runs with just the rear frame.
Then in about 2-3 days it’s back to the humps.
In the absence of any public input on the previous post I urge all in the area to read this.
‘Cat got your tongue’ is an issue in Labrador, probably more than else where.

Tell them to hook a bunch of chain lenghts behind it... spread across the width of the contraption
in my youth i spent some time in north west river,lab (before the bridge was built). and i saw the swells you mentioned.makes it much easier if the ROADS are groomed so people can carry on a normal life. although at night time the swells make nice speed bumps. : )
