Default U EVER SEE OR HEAR, OF AN ATC WITH ATV TRACKS

Hi
Well so far I haven't seen a posting like this. If there is, please let me know.
I'm trying to have more fun in the winter with my ATC, but my 84 ATCES sucks everytime it snows....... "I'm Located Like 10 hours north of Toronto, ON so the snow is deep...lol"...."I Own 3 Of These Trykes By The Way"

My best idea yet is to rig up an extra 2 tires in the rear with good tighteners...mini type argo tracks that kinda wrap around the wheels... Don't need much gap between the tires. "in simple terms"...... maybe a wide ski or 2 in the front..

I've got the time, $, Tools, welder, and Heated Garage........I'm doing this

Post me some ideas
Thanks

I dont know, but the first thing that pops into my head is will a 3 wheeler have enough power to move tracks. I consider a 3 wheeler a sport ATV. I may be wrong. I have also never heard of a sport atv having tracks on them. Usually its 500+cc Utility ATVs

Hopefully someone else can give you the answer your looking for.

I think normal tracks cost about 3-4 grand. you can pick up a used sled or 4x4 for that price.

Oh Yah, This ATC is not sport at all... Utility Only almost! H/L Gear It can Haul Lots......Just needs the traction...
I'm not looking for any speed, just a crawler......
My plan is to rig up some kinda good traction & A plow... Just a trial/error project to keep me busy, since I have 3 of these bikes & theres about 2 feet of fresh powder in my driveway right now.
My yard is just a bit to narrow, so I have to use reverse a lot with the plow... but if I rig up tracks & work the weight ratio enough. I might be able to lean forward & spin around with the plow & tracks on, than lean back & let the tracks grab...not sure but I'll find out

Don't see why these tracks set ups will not fit the back of a ATC without mods since its the same set up as a ATV rear end. The problem is the tracks (even Used) may cost more than the machine they are mounted on.

So True........ Basically anything I do cost less than the tryke.. Bought 2 for $350 & the other one was for free from a buddy...

I've thought about paddles..... but than I would have to order new hub assemblies, rims tires + still have to do something to do to the front end. Probably the same cost as ATV Tracks
I've already got 2 spare rims & tires 9X9 4/150 bolt pattern, & 2 argo tracks that I can change the lenght on..... the trax would hug these tires nicely too.
Basically the ATV Tracks is my last resort.
Thanks
