We use to sell used clapped out ones for 6500 bucks all day long to the general public. A new one at the time was about that 6-7k depending what it was on a fleet program to a golf course.
Usually if they are wrecked bad enough they will throw the sled on top of the groomer drag and haul it home. That thing would be useful if a sled goes off a cliff or misses a bridge. I have seen that a bunch of times over the years
It looks like a better clutch than what they are using now. We got 2 seasons out of a team on our 16 before the primary was completely shot. I like how you don’t need to use monster weights in it and the spider is easily removed to rebuild it.
