I heard ATVs with tracks are awesome for getting around. What do you think of them Bill? I saw on video where guy jumped off into snow but it didn't look that deep. My buddy (that doesn't fish) likes the tracks as goes over 6 feet of snow with no problem. He loves them.
Starting to see more and more of that type of unit.
On the trailboggan do those boards slide down to cover it and stop snow from getting in?
I put lots of trees in the ground in that neck of the bush.
Thx for sharing your day.
I think that those tracks are awesome. I don't think that you can get them stuck. That young fellow that jumped into the snow well don't fool yourself it's around Bear Lake in the middle of winter, of course there's lots of snow but it has settled down alot and then froze hard again. We were going through 3 feet of powder in some places with no problems. Also that feeling you get on a snowmobile where you're breaking trail and you have to shift your weight from side to side or you'll either flop the snowmobile on it's side or get stuck, it's not there on the quad at all, just sit back, relax and ride it. The turning radius is better getting around tight trails as the ATV is shorter. Having said this with the good things that you gain you also lose some other things. Those tracks weigh 75lbs each and take alot of power to move. Suggest getting a quad that at least a 700cc. That quad is a 500 Rincon which has the automatic transmission and it wasn't too bad but the top speed breaking trail was 20kph. The thing I really didn't like was that in roughly 34kms it burnt 5 gallons of gas(very thirsty). Suggest a quad with power steering as well, after riding for very long you'll have arms like Popeye. That quad also has an option to change the tranny to electric shift and I couldn't get into 3 gear as it was dying for power(breaking trail). So having said that though I would probably buy a set of tracks but for the right quad as why would you have 2 machines to store and maintain when all you need is one.
Those boards on the trailboggan just hinge down and they keep most of the snow out. My buddy built them himself. He left some space in the front for bigger objects like buckets etc.
I seen alot of trees you probably planted but they are mostly dead red wood now!
