The speed at which the tractor travels, as well as the general tempurature of Rossland makes for an unreal surface to skate on.
Pylon, I can't thank your post enough. I didn't even know it was sticking around.

I can't remember where for sure, but I think it was the Ogden arena, way back when I was a kid, had a retrofitted tractor as a Zamboni as well. And the ice was always considered to be top notch. You would see these the odd time in rural arenas too.
I always used to think it was cool when I was a kid, seeing a tractor on the ice.
