Dec 3, 2018 · Basically, the track has to compress the snow enough to get enough traction to not just spin. Different snow conditions make that depth an infinite variable. Good snow you pretty much sit on top, bad dry snow you fall right through so if your skid plate floats you, you're tracks are left hanging in snow that it can't compact enough to get traction.

Mar 25, 2019 · To make tracks work on a YJ in deep snow you may have to also go to the expense to lock up both axles. 1989 YJ, 5.3L Vortec V8, 4L60E trans w/231J TC. Dana 489, 4:11 gear front axle w/OX locker, flat top knuckles and hi steer set up.

Dec 28, 2013 · I would think UTV's with tracks would be a much bigger mennace than ATV's with tracks. Lots more weight on the tracks and too wide for secondary trails. It's tough in the summer on quads when they come at you on a narrow trail but at least you can usually get off the trail and out of the way. Much harder on a sled.

Jan 5, 2014 · The width of the tracks on the narrow roads made it difficult to ride in the center. Skis would drop into one track or the other making for a very unsafe situation. If the snow had remained soft it would not have been as much of an issue but when frozen, it …

Jan 9, 2015 · 2. We have a lot of county roads that are open to ORV's year round and many of them are seasonal roads that are groomed snowmobile trails. Perfectly legal to ride those as well with an ORV with tracks or no tracks. Don't agree with that, but the county owns the roads and the DNR can't regulate them.

Sep 20, 2024 · I only remember jack Nelson as the the guy driving the bus there. He was a real active contributor and ambassador to the sport. I remember early snow motion days with all the snow cross tracks being made and the large number of big name vendors. I bought my very first Polaris from Jack as well as my wife’s first Polaris in the very early 90s.

Jan 12, 2007 · We are currently demoing a set in northern Mn, but do to the lack of snow I can't tell you that much. But, with the little bit of time we do have on them, I can tell you that they are ALOT smoother and provide WAY better traction than the steel cleated track. Makes our old Tucker seem alot newer. If we get some snow this year, I will keep you ...

Dec 15, 2024 · 1.6 and 1.5 tracks are our track of choice for unstudded tracks. hook up very well on hard packed trail's. are very durable. and give you much better performance off trail then a 1.352 cobra. ride much better then a 2" track on hard packed. sleds will go over 100 mph with that gearing. but can be geared higher if you only ride on the trails. our 2018 assault was a …

Oct 10, 2005 · Should ride the Lakes to at least get some riding in, snow outlook does not look good. Supposed to be in the mid to upper 30's next week. 😟 The NWS and NOAA long range forecast looks only like an inch here and there thru March, and they have been fairly accurate last couple years. The UP of Michigan looks great right now.
