SxS/UTV With Tracks Experiences

[MtnMuley]

Over the last 5 years, I've put a lot of miles on tracked Ranger XP 1000s. Both 4 seaters and 2 seaters. I would highly recommend the after market clutch kits if you plan on running tracks. I would not consider tracking up anything less than a 1000 either. They are by far not invincible in the snow and there is zero chance any of them will compete with a snowmobile as far as getting into places. They're a great tool for their purpose, but can work the machine hard. Breaking one down in remote areas is another concern unless you have access to a snowcat.

Do the 2 seaters get around a lot better than the 4 seaters?

The 2 seaters definitely seem to get around better than the 4 seaters. I'm assuming that's a weight issue.

Towed my razor out today 😡 first time I have had too do that it was overheating. I still have never gotten it  stuck. Guy I was lion hunting with today had the Honda pioneer 1000 that looked like a good option way more comfortable I’m not sure it would get around as good as a 50 incher like a razor etc but it looked way more comfortable and went everywhere today

Did he have tracks on it? I was looking at the new Honda Pioneer 520s. They are 50 inches for trails.

Those 520’s are sweet rides.  Great little two seater.    Curious how they would perform with tracks being they are only a 500cc machine.

Have you seen any? I’m calling places who say they aren’t taking any more deposits because they already have 5 people waiting and the first one scheduled to show up months out

No just online.   I looked at the 500s when they came out and about pulled the trigger.  I have a 1000-5 and love it.  I also have a 500 quad.  The 520 will be next.  Be a great rig for Idaho and the property.  I’m a huge hind fan when it comes to quads and SxS.

They do not recommend tracks on anything smaller than a 700.  Enclosed can first in mine tyan tracks.  The only problem I might have is fitting it in my enclosed 14x7 trailer.

While I am a new owner I did a lot of research on the traxs. This time last year there was a pioneer 500 in Kettle Falls on camso's.  What I found out talking to people who haved owned them they say that you give up economy and your top end speed. The one salesman I was talking to was trying to sell me a polaris. He kept reverting back the fact this thing will do 70 mph. He didn't seem to grasp that at almost 70 years old I really don't have any urge to be running on a single track mountian road doing a speed close to my age.
I did learn there is a 30% rule. You will give up 30% of your top speed and 30% of your total range.  I'm in the market for a set now but when the suggested retail are close to 6 grand I may have to shop for a bit.

I did speak with a person in Colville who did tell me that you needed at least an 800 to spin them.

I myself really didn't want to buy something that doesn't work for my purpose. I think its called buy once.

Well, like I said before

A machine that'll do 80mph at 35 mph, will feel much much nicer than a machine that'll do 50mph, doing 35

Not mine just saw them and thought about this thread

Got to ride in a Honda 1000 on tracks this week. It definitely has quite a bit more power than my Viking 700's to power those tracks. It runs about 30mph pretty comfortably with plenty of snort if you get into the throttle. They hunted hard all week in 2 to 4 feet of snow, running it hour after hour each day, they did back up into a deep ditch and broke one of the support bolts but it got back to the truck fine and they didn't realize it was broke until the next day, when that one track looked a little out of alignment. They figure they have about 5k miles on that set of tracks, the machine itself has over 10k miles and runs like a champ. He has another machine a couple years older with over 20k and still running strong. I think a Pioneer 1000 will be my next UTV purchase.

Thanks for that review Dale.  Do you know what brand of tracks he had on his Honda?  I love my pioneer....and am in the market for tracks.  It would be a great addition to the property winter travel.

I would bet they are Camso.  They seem to be the most popular I see on Pioneer forums and Facebook pages.

yes he had tracks on it-the 520 would be too small I think for tracks -50 incher I would go razor 900 or above which I have had great luck with. My friend has the 50 inch 1000 by can am with tracks thats really good also. i wouldnt go below a 900 for tracks on a utv i tried that already

Have had a new set on order for 6 weeks from

Should be here next week. In the mean time took the ECU box off and sent it to Gilomen’s to get it flashed. Went with a torque monster clutch kit and heavy duty secondary spring. Running a 1000cc Polaris ranger.
