Tracks For 4-Wheeler

[Sourdough]

Saw the tracks that Bombadier is making today.  They look great, compared to what the Kawasaki dealer is selling.  Know several people that put tracks on their Brute Force 750s.  After Moose season several sets were for sale.  It took a lot of Brute Force to steer them with tracks.  

Today I was by the Ski Doo dealer, they had the new tracks there that they make for their new 800.  They can also be fitted to other brands of machines.  They are designed with less surface area on the ground for the front tracks.  That permits them to turn easier, they said.  I have not gotten to ride with them yet.  As soon as I do I will let everyone know how they perform.  The rubber belting looks very much like the tracks on a Tundra snow machine.

Let us know how they work out.  Not much need for them where I live in Tx.  We've hardly had a winter this year.  The mosquitoes and other critters are gonna be terrible this summer....Next archery season is gonna be interesting... :lol:

Sourdough, and markc,
Just purchased an 06 TRV with the Kimpex Tracks System, in December 05.  They are both GREAT!  Now I can use my 4 wheeler 12 months out of the year.  
Haven't had much of a snowy winter here in upstate new york.  First time out we were able to try it out in snow.  Handling was good, and even my 5'2" wife was able to manuever it just fine.  Second time out all of the snow had melted, and only brown and green was on the ground.  It is definately harder to steer on the bare ground.  Still not too bad, as long as it was under power.  
What I liked was the fact, that on bare ground, you could just barely tell where the four wheeler had traversed. You'll bust a gut, and the steering too, if you try to turn those 14" front tracks, without having it under power.  
The TRV with the tracks installed, measures about 9 feet long, and about 56 inches wide.  That's one heck of a stable footprint.
Would I do it all over again?  You Bet!!!!

Rode the Bombardia 800 today with the tracks.  They are awsome.  Deep snow was not a problem.  Crawled right through it like nothing.  Side hilling was easy, no threat of tipping.  Climbing was a little spooky, there is so much traction you feel like it might go over backward.  Seriously doubt it, but the feeling is there.  Price here in Fairbanks is $3,800.00.  A little expensive I think.
