Recent developments in stock–drawn trail implements include the Trail Ace and Trail Scoop. These are patented implements designed and built by Clarence McReynolds and Bonner Brumley of White Bird, ID.
The Trail Ace has a rigid boxed steel frame featuring a pivoting hitch frame, rigid steel handles, and 14 sleeves or pockets (Figure 28). The sleeves and pockets are designed to accept the various rock teeth, ripper teeth, and hardened sod cutter attachments provided with the tool. One or more attachments can be mounted in several orientations. Included in the package is a tool box and a fixed two–way grader blade. The Trail Ace, including all accessories, weighs 146 lb (65 kg).
The Trail Scoop is a small slip constructed of mild steel with hardened rock teeth mounted on the front edge of the scoop (Figure 29). The scoop weighs about 100 lb (39 kg) and has a 1/6 yd³ (0.13 m³) capacity. It is used for excavating fill materials and transporting them for short distances.
