I have been looking at some of the ATV Trax systems online, but at 3K + that is a bit pricey for me. Anyone know of a cheaper alternative, or attempt to make their own out of track material, etc.?

I am looking for something that will give me traction in deep snow instead of getting stuck all the time while I am plowing. Not really into chains...

 

i mshure its possable. iv never tryed it. but youd need the track, some snowmobile wheels and a samll shop to do it.

 

Have you ever seen these? Products - Sherwood OR - ETV Design

They look kinda cool

 

A used sled is much cheaper then atv tracks up here. I bought this 1998 500 ski-doo long track two up touring,sled with electric start,hand,thumb warmers and reverse for $1800 Canadian 4 winters ago. No good for plowing though.LOL

Used ATV tracks go for $2500 Used.

 

TLC -

Yeah, I used to have a couple of Ski-Doo sleds - loved them! Unfortunately, here in Southeast Pennsylvania we haven't been getting enough snow over the past decade to warrant owning them, so I eventually sold them.

I contacted that company. They are a bit cheaper than the trax systems that replace the wheels, but still a bit more than I was hoping for. Think I will hold off for now. Interesting concept though.

I would actually like to construct my own, if I could get the material & do it at a reasonable cost.

Here is the email I received from them.

 

Wow, that is a little more expensive then I figured they would be. I would think that $1000 would be a reasonable price for those.
