This is my homemade version of the Tidd Tech Trail Tenderizer.  I built it 8 years ago, but have been modifying and adding to it ever since (and it's still not done!)

Some of the features I've added:

• Electric actuators for the teeth and track setter.

• Ski on the front incase I get stuck on a hill.

• An orange "Indicator" rod that goes up and down with the cutting teeth.  It can be seen from the Skandic and allows the teeth to be raised for a hill or road crossing and then quickly and accurately returned to their original position.

• Wings that fold-up inside the profile of the Tidd Tech.

• Anti-Berm Flaps on the Wings.

• Spring-loaded internal runners to keep the Tidd Tech tracking straight.  

• Track setter that can be positioned on the left, middle, or right (currently being modified!!).

• Rear stand that can be used to pick up the back of the Tidd Tech to move it around or to tip the Tidd Tech up to clean off snow without impacting the track setter.

• Lights on the back.
