    My buddy lives in noblesboro, an hour from me and the tracker is halfway ! I didnt realize they were that big of a thing. Tug hill isnt that far away either( snow capital of northeast,LAKE EFFECT) i could see a rescue type build but if you just rode sled trails they get pretty pist.

    Tracks are super noisy, a total maintenance headache and are rough on all of the mechanicals on a vehicle. They don't spin the same as a tire so you end up flooring it every where you go, maxing out the rpms, and still will only top out at 35mph or so.
    All of the snowcoaches in Yellowstone are switching over from tracks to tundra tires. Much better option all around

    Thanks; Good info, the noise and speed do not concern me, however the maintenance and effects on the mechanicals does.

    Forgot to mention super stiff ride too. Last snowcoach I went on was tracks. By the end of the day my back was killing me and my ears were buzzing for like a week. Next time I'm going on one with tires.

    As far as the effects on the vehicle....imagine what would happen if you drive down the highway every day in 1st gear. Would be the equivalent of running around with tracks on.

    Have you looked into paying someone to plow the road? Probably a lot cheaper to do that a few times a year when it gets deep. You can also get a plow for your side by side and use that to keep it clear once the heavy stuff is taken care of.

    After some research and thoughts , the tracks and snow moviles are off the table. Either the Tundra (2007, 4X4, 5.7) will get a plow, or I' get an older 3/4 ton chevy and turning in to a snow plow truck.

    They have a much more versatile version now, probably less expensive too and doesn't require removing your tires.

    Finally I got a set of tracks for the ATV, they definitely work. Gas consumption noticeably went up went up. Had a lot fun with them, so much that another snowmobile is on the works
    Thanks again for your inputs
