A snow grooming vehicle comprising a support frame; an engine; two tracks mounted on opposite sides of the support frame itself, coupled to and driven by the engine; and comprising a first plurality of bristles arranged in a portion of the snow grooming vehicle adjacent to the track so as to capture the snow collected on the track.

An ice re-conditioning assembly includes a vehicle that is driven on ice in an ice skating rink. A drive unit is coupled to the vehicle for driving the vehicle around the ice skating rink in a pre-determined route. A plurality of resurfacing units is each movably coupled to the vehicle. Each of the resurfacing units is urged into a deployed position to engage the ice for reconditioning the ice for skating. Each of the resurfacing units is urged into a stored position has each of the resurfacing units being contained within the vehicle and being spaced from the ice. A plurality of displays is provided and each of the displays is coupled to the vehicle. Each of the displays displays indicia comprising words and images for advertising purposes.

A control device configured to control a winch assembly having a supporting structure has a guide, which engages a cable extending along a path in a sliding manner, and is configured to follow the movements of the cable crosswise to the path; a first control chain activated by movements of the guide in a first direction crosswise to the path; and a second control chain activated by movements of the guide in a second direction crosswise to the first direction and the path.

A user interface for a snow groomer or other tracked vehicle, such as tracked carrier to carry and enable use of work equipment on various terrains, is provided. The user interface may have an input device, an output device and a controller. The controller is configured to receive from the input device an indication of a desired snow grooming distance, and the controller is further configured to measure a distance traveled by the snow groomer, and to cause the output device to convey a remaining distance to be traveled by the snow groomer, the remaining distance being the difference between the desired snow grooming distance and the distance traveled by the snow groomer.
