Prinoth Husky Review

Should You Buy a New Prinoth Husky?

When it comes to buying new Prinoth snow groomers from Loch Lomond Equipment Sales, you have four main choices, namely the Prinoth Husky, Prinoth Husky X, Prinoth Bison and Prinoth Bison X.

Prinoth Bison and Husky for alpine and trail grooming.

The Prinoth Husky is marketed as the perfect balance between plowing-power and weight constraints. Lighter snow groomers are generally better. However, weight is also important for a deeper grip and plowing power. The Prinoth Husky’s lightness offers superior weight distribution. The snowcat will exert low ground pressure allowing movement on deep snow without sinking.

The Husky offers the perfect weight-power balance at approximately 11,000 lbs (5,000 kg) and 228 hp. If you want a mid-weight groomer that doesn’t compromise on anything, look no further!

The Husky has also been designed to be agile on tight trails. This snow groomer has a smaller track surface than the Bison and narrower working tools making it capable of going where few other snowcats can. The Prinoth Husky is perfect for trail grooming applications (alpine, nordic, snowmobile, etc.)

With added features like innovative onboard diagnostics (CAN-BUS CONTROL SYSTEM), operating the Prinoth Husky is as easy as waiting for alerts, checking the fault log for details, and resolving faults.

Controlling the Husky is as simple as shifting between steering and lever operation. The centre console and secondary control elements have also been carefully arranged for easy operation. Features like a multi-functional joystick allow operators to handle all main blade and tiller functions using one hand.

11. Superior Track Features

The Prinoth Husky features an innovative tiller function. The tilling mode (characterized by contact pressure, counter pressure, and floating position) can be activated with a raised tiller. Contact & Counter pressure is also continuously adjustable for perfect finishes in every situation.

The Husky's track tiller has other notable features like a flexible combination of tilling widths and four different widths coupled with Prinoth's tilling technology (constant optimization), which results in perfectly groomed snow tracks. 

The new track-setting plates are shaped to guarantee smooth gliding over snow regardless of conditions. Independent tillers and track-setting plates allow varied usage based on the trail condition and requirements. This, in turn, allows better fuel economy regardless of grooming speed. 

Optimized track shoe shape coupled with finishers on either side ensures efficient compression of snow and trails that are tidy and last longer. Track fins also positioned on either side offer unmatched stability and precision. The new Husky also has superior ice-cutting blades that allow perfect trail preparation. Other unique features include the ability to move the tiller and blade instantaneously.

Differences Between the Prinoth Husky and Prinoth Husky X

The Husky X is simply an improvement of the Husky in different aspects. According to Prinoth, the Husky X is a more agile working tool that is powerful and capable of working both outdoors and indoors. Most importantly, the Husky X is more fuel-efficient than the Prinoth Husky. 

Also, the Husky X stands out for park construction. However, there's more to consider, such as the numerous applications in a ski location.

The Husky X is also better than the Husky in regards to manoeuvrability. The snowcat has better vertical blade movement (up to 19 degrees, (8 degrees up, and 11 degrees down)) when compared to the Husky. This provides better control when making and maintaining jumps, landings, and many other park features.

The Husky X also has adaptive hydraulic pumps as opposed to regular hydraulic pumps in the Husky. This feature allows optimal blade responses and boosts manoeuvrability. 

Other differences include an inclinometer on the blade & vehicle for measuring angle tilt and an object's depression vs. gravity to ensure superior trail grooming. The Husky X has also been designed with a high-tech operator cab offering optimal visibility.

Which Snow Groomer is Better? The Prinoth Husky or Prinoth Husky X?

It depends. The Husky is perfectly capable of many snow grooming applications, as discussed above. However, if you want added features more so agility, more versatility (indoors and outdoors), more cabin visibility and other notable high-tech features like an inclinometer, adaptive hydraulic pumps, and more, the Husky X is a better choice.
