Plus we had a hydraulic failure after 6 hours, due to something added at the dealer, and discovered that they have only 1 hydraulic system. Blow a hose and the machine is dead.

I'm not as familiar with the PB series, but I've heard that the PB100 runs 1 hydraulic system also? Can anyone confirm that? I assume the new Trail Bully runs 2?

Anyone using a PB Canyon out there?

Will be sad to see the BR go, and have to agree that they are making a mistake. Demoed a Husky and although it seemed to work well, the construction does not compare to the BR in strength. Everything seemed smaller, thinner and weaker. Plus we had a hydraulic failure after 6 hours, due to something added at the dealer, and discovered that they have only 1 hydraulic system. Blow a hose and the machine is dead. Hooked the drag to the BR180 and the Husky to the drag, no problem. Wrote a lengthy proposition that they field test the machine with our club or some else, and fix it, or it will never last on snowmobile trails. Guess we will have to look at the PB's next time.

We will be getting a Husky this Thursday to demo for a couple days. I haven't looked it over to well yet but I have to agree, it does not look to be built anywhere near as good as the BR180. We will also be looking at the Trail Bully.
Have been grooming since 1978 have covered more than 100,000 miles of snowmobile trail.
