F-250 is the last generation of grooming equipment developed by Alpina for the use in combination with the snowmobiles SHERPA 1.4 and the new 1.6L Ti-VCT 16V. The three configurations available, (A) without track-setters, (B) with 1 track-setter, (C) with 2 track-setters, offer an effective and convenient outfit for the preparation of ski trails for both classic and skating technique, pedestrian trails, sleigh trails, and small alpine ski slopes. The grooming / tracking quality is very close to the one achieved by snowcats, yet with a much lower purchase cost and running cost. The main features of the F-250 are:

- Lightweight and compact construction

- Epoxy powder coating over an anti-oxydation pre-coating prevents ice and snow building up

- Full electric operation - no more hydraulic devices

- Skating-lane renovator with spring-mounted knives; electric control for raising / lowering

- +50% more tools (compared to the F-One model) for a smoother skating lane grooming

- 2.5 meters skating-lane finisher, with urethane flexible combs

- Classic track-setter with gas-spring pre-load; electric control for raising / lowering

- Track-shoes with progressive compaction profile

- Available also with 2 classic track-setters

- Track-setters arms can be shifted to set tracks from left to right on the trail

- Control keyboard for installation on the Sherpa-dashboard, with the reliable can-bus technology

- Control keyboard can activate up to 4 auxiliary devices (work-lights, sroboscopic beacon, etc.).

The main advantages of preparing tracks with Sherpa equipped with the new F-250 are:

- Prepares the skating-lane and sets classic-tracks at one time

- Easily sets classic-tracks following the "ideal-line"

- Possibility to prepare the track even with low snow conditions, without damaging the ground

- Smooth operation, no sudden changes of the track-line on the curves, no torn or ripped tracks when steering

- No need to first prepare the trails with a snowcat

- No traces of the snowmobile will remain over the trail; perfect "corduroy" finishing over 2.5 mt. width

- User-friendly controls, with the smart can-bus dashboard control-keyboard. Great driver-confort

- Low cost of purchase - great operation economy - ease of maintenance

- Eco-friendly machine due to its extremely low emissions.

That's why the Sherpa equipped with the newest F-250 becomes the indispensable grooming equipment for the XC-ski areas keeping a particular eye on environment, functionality and economy.

Snowmobiles, utility snowmobiles, work equipment, attachments and more. Did you know? When we think of a Sherpa we surely imagine a strong man carrying a big load on his back, climbing the sacred heights of the Himalayas step by step, side by side with famous mountaineers to conquer the top of those mysterious and impressive mountains. Utility snowmobiles, work snowmobiles, rescuing snowmobiles, safe snowmobiles and clean snowmobiles are our mission; discover it visiting our contact page or contacting us directly: you are welcome!

The world of vehicle-manufacturers, where "vehicle" means every kind of machine moved by an engine and able to run through land, water, air or snow, is divided in two different branches, depending by the philosophy that the designer adopts: Conformists and Innovators. Conformists bring an innovation only after others did it. They think they have just to offer at least the same value of their competitors, and there is no sense to spend more resources for innovation. Innovators are always looking for new and better solutions, sometimes swimming against the tide, but always looking for a new idea to satisfy the customers needs. Our feeling is to belong to this category, since we have a lot to tell about innovation. There are a lot of works that, until now, have been made with less success with traditional light-utility snowmobiles. Innovation means also to design a new machine especially for these works. And if someone promises you that he can do the same, we just tell you that we do it better.
