Default New XP850!

Well it's sort of new....got it in January These are the first pics of it I've posted here though.

The tracks are just awesome. It looks like a tank, but it can move along pretty good, and in the worst conditions it can get stuck (anything can get stuck). We had tons of snow this year and the tracks worked great in all but the deepest mayonnaise snow. It's registered as a snowmobile at the moment, so I can rip out the front yard and hit the trails. One bad thing is that the tracks suck the fuel; seems to get worse mileage than my Silverado. The tracks really put a hurtin' on the plow system too. Tires spin...these tracks push hard. Bent a new Moose plow blade almost in half and I though I was going easy....flipped it down and bent it right over onto itself without hesitation.

I'm taking the tracks off this weekend 'til next winter. Looking forward to the tires and wheels again. That first time I rode it at the dealers was pretty fun. Haven't been on tires since. My memory was that it was really smooth and fast.

Nice XP 850! That is the first XP I have seen with tracks on it...and do agree...it looks like a tank.

Forgot to add that it's got EPS (power steering). Definitely helpful with the tracks. The pump is not powerful enough to easily turn the bars when standing still, but it really makes things nice with the slightest of movement in forward or reverse. -With the tires on one can turn the bars side to side with your index finger while parked.
