Guys With Tracks,
Have you run any of your tracks for extended mileage and years of use?

I could use some but they would get a lot of miles, I need to know if they will take the miles?
THANKS for any info.....

Maybe 50 to 150 miles per day, total maybe 60 days per winter but some days will get cut short (we hope) so maybe 3000 to 5000 mles annually.

I'll ask a guy I know that owned a shop in Okanogan. He'll give me a straight answer. I'll let you know.

Uncle Dale,

Here's the answer to your question about tracks. My friend said you can run tracks for 3-5000 miles per year, but, he said to make sure they are adjusted every 200 mikes to take the slack out of them.

He said if you're going to run that many miles, you should buy MATTRACKS instead. $3500 for the first ones or $7000 for the MATTRACKS. MATTRACKS are made for vehicles, like pickups, Hummers, ATV, UTV etc.

 Here's mine that I picked up in February to use on the duck hunting property. I may also trailer it north for a moose hunt someday. Haven't been able to get it stuck yet. 7 girls piled in and took it for a spin back in the spring and we could hear them squealing 1/2 mile away. And it floats.

That is kind of like the one they use on Duck Dynasty in one episode.  When Phil Bradshawed Jase and the boys to his secret fishing hole.

Always wanted a set of tracks for myself,  been around them a lot so I know the pro's and cons.

the tracks are really niche,   90% of the year they pretty much suck when compaired to an ATV on rubber,  or a snowmobile. 

 

Tracks really shine early spring,  when down low the roads are soft or muddy then as you climb they get snowed in.   
Can't get much further with a rubber tired ATV and you can't ride the dirt for 5 miles on a snowmobile to get to the snow.

Tracks are nice on the soft roads because they don't disturb the road bed or leave ruts, my bighorn radials 2.0 don't either, but some guys running those super aggressive bias ply mudders tend to toss a fair bit of dirt  :chuckle:


If you guys aren't running or been around the bighorn 2.0 radial tires do you self a favor and strongly consider them for your next atv tire,  they are really good! 
I was riding circles around guys with their mudlites and various other mudder tires in the soft spring snow.  They might be able to power through a 4 foot deep mudhole but heck when do any hunters look for 4 foot deep mudholes?

I don't reccomend these tires for sport riding or aggressive riding if you plan on drifting around corners on the dirt road, they hook up too well  :chuckle:

Bad thing about Bighorns there cowboy, is, they are 4 ply. I got rid of mine and put 8 ply Roctanes on my yellow rocket.  :tup:

Are tracks legal on the snowmobile trails where rigs on tires are not? I believe that to be the case.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
