Wings & Flaps
There's a 6' wide bridge on the Timm's Hill Trail, so my Tidd Tech has to be able to fit across that. It's also handy to be able to fold up one or both of the wings and/or flaps to get various widths depending on snow conditions.
-
The wings and flaps fold-up inside the profile of the Tidd Tech, so they're out of the way.
-
With the wings and flaps down, the Tidd Tech is 9 1/2' wide.
-
With the wings down and the flaps up, the Tidd Tech is 6 1/2' wide.
-
With the wings and flaps up, the Tidd Tech is 4 1/2' wide.

My normal grooming set-up is with both wings down, the flap on the edge of the trail folded up and the flap to the middle of the trail down. This allows the Tidd Tech and teeth to groom to the edge of the trail, while the flap in the middle provides extra coverage and a smooth transition on multiple passes.

The wings & flaps are held up and down by spring loaded latches (see the red pins in the picture), eliminating the need for hitch pins and cotter pins. This makes it faster and easier to raise and lower them, especially in the cold and dark when they're covered with snow.
