Default Rubber track conversion systems

I was wondering if anybody out there has seen or has had any experience with the rubber track sytems made for use on ATV's. I've seen a couple different versions from $4500 to $2200. I was thinking of putting a set on my P650, but don't know if they are worth it. Any info or input would be greatly appreciated

You could get a pretty nice snowmobile for $4500! I just couldn't imagine the ride would be any fun at all with a track on the p650. Just my opinion!

Thanks for the input on sleds guys, but I guess I should of been a little more specific. I have a sled. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with the track systems. I would just like to be able to bring my P650 ice fishing with me. Which is something I can't do because of the snow! I have researched these things through the manufacturers. They claim you only loose 25% of your speed. No big deal for fishing. And $2200, (if them ones are any good) isn't that much money. You can't find a good utility sled around here for that. I don't care about speed, I care about hauling an ice-house and staying on top of the snow and slush.

My local dealer has got a set on a 650. The kit was built in Quebec. I drove it and don't think I'd want to go over 30 mph. It has got a bigger footprint than a sled and will float in deep snow like you wouldn't believe!! Steering is very heavy, as you would expect.
