TRacks may not be for everyone but they sure get you into some nice areas.

gwilburn68,

that is a really pic of you buzzing across the lake on your sled! I didn't know that was really possible! LOL!



Mongrol,

VERY nice pics. (as usual LOL!)
Sure looks like a lot of snow blows up on the fenders and all. Do the tracks cover you with snow to?
How far can you travel on a tank of gas? (with tracks)

Snow gets all over everything ! Track Mfgs claim THIER tracks don't throw snow. BS, BS, & BS. They all do but thats part of the fun.

Both the 400HO & 550XP seem to get about 10 mpg with the tracks but thats because these tracks are gear reduced by 50% for climbing. Normally I carry 2 one gal cans of gas in the box, but if I go out to tow out some buddys I carry an extra 4 gals and will use most of it.

That is just so cool. I would pay hundreds dollars if I were out in Colorado or another mountainous region to experience that for just 4 or 5 hours! Buying a set for me is just not practical.
