Quote from: bearpaw on January 10, 2022, 08:33:14 PMGot 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.

Have had a new set on order for 6 weeks from https://www.atvtracks.net/track-systemsShould 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. https://gilomeninnovations.com/Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So on Thursday After a couple Coors light and throwing away the instruction. I went straight to YouTube And was able to figure out how to mount and adjust them for proper track angle. Haven’t had a change to run them anywhere beside the field for break in but all I can say is wow. I’m running a stock Polaris ranger and with the track I have 18 inches of clearance.

Going up in the deep snow right now to get a belt on a friend’s Ranger 1000. Do not travel in high gear in deep snow on an incline , lesson learned I hope.
This is a good time to also bring up your winter travel kit. Spare beltComplete tool kit and track spare parts ( bolts and spacer blocks ). Snow shoes Shovel Small propane torch ( hard to work on a frozen machine) A couple ratchet straps Hand or chain saw And at least one day of emergency supplies water, food and heat source.
