ATV tracks

IM sure this has been covered here b4 but couldnt find it in a search. I sold my snowmobile a few years back because we had a few bare winters and it was sitting idle while i used the wheeler. Im afraid this winter we might get enough snow to strand my wheeler, but im hesitant to buy, register, and insure another sled though. Who out there is using tracks on their wheeler, and how do you like them. Do they float well in deep snow, and how do they do with slush. Im seeing quite a few used sets on CL near me witch makes me wonder if they are worth it or not. Id be putting them on a Honda rubicon 500, so not a big bore machine, but it has decent torque, will it struggle to turn them.

thanks for the input, sounds like the consensus is they work well. Now to find a used set at a reasonable price.

Been running my atv with tracks for 4 seasons now. Pulls my gear with no problems through deep snow and moderate slush. I have noticed that over the course of the last 10 seasons up by me in NE WI, the snow depth and slush issues haven't been as great. I do get into patches of it, but throttle control and using a long rope for towing seems to have helped.

ATV tracks are great. If I was in the market for a new machine I would forego buying a snowmobile and get an ATV and put tracks on it. Power steering would be mandatory for me to make turning much easier.
