Default Atv Tracks?

I have a 2006 Honda rincon and I am wanting to put a set of snow tracks to get to a remote cabin. Can anyone suggest a brand and the cheapest place to get them? I live in Napa Calif. Used sets ?
Thanks a lot for any info

Used tracks cost $2000 around here $3000 new. You can buy a nice used snowmobile with two up seating, reverse ,electric start,hand warmers ,50 hp twin motor and cruise at 70 mph in comfort for less. I picked this up for $1500 in mint shape.

Used Sleds sell for cheap compared to ATVs.

Snowmobiles are also less to insure for some reason. Also the 3 speed auto Rincon tranny without low range may have a hard time turing 4 heavy tracks through deep snow.

I'm wondering how tracks will do without a diff locker. Would it have to push one track that doesn't want to turn?

people can't give sleds away around here- cheap as hell. you'd be better off with a cheap sled than fussing with tracks on an atv.

that's an interesting question- I never thought of that
cause a track isn't just going to roll in the snow like a wheel does...
