Is the ride rough?

Is it had to do a u-turn?

Ride is generally smoother than tires, but manouverability in tight areas can be a problem. I've had to turn around on a narrow cut line and it is challenging. Steering is good with most tracks on hard packed snow but it takes about a 20' radius in the deep stuff. Have you watched any videos about tracks???

If there is no snow, why would you want tracks then? Would they not just make a 50mph ATV go like 30 mph instead.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

I couldn't agree more, but different strokes etc. For me its strictly snow, but I hear they are great in swamps, mud, & muskeg.

they give you a huge advantage if you do any pulling since they gear your machine down ,and they can walk over stuff ,that wheels would just spin on

I think my low range offerers the same effect, with the option off going back into high range to continue at 55mph when need be.
