    Let me start by saying Great Episodes all season.

    I seen you went on a “Snowmobile” trail when you went looking for these monster crappies and I am curious if a UTV with Tracks can make it there. I don’t have a snowmobile and am unsure if I can go on those trails. Maybe I answered my own question?

    Anyways I would like to hear for sure.

    The tracks also cost more than buying 3 or 4 snowmobiles

    Must be OLD snowmobiles.

    A UTV/ ATV with Tracks can be run all year long, and the traction and pulling power, is unreal! Of course you have 4 wheel drive. I have pulled out many trucks on the lakes this year and helped a strained guide. I have also helped move fish houses of those that were stuck. I would not trade them for anything right now.

    But can I drive on those trails? I know some trails if you have a tracked ATV or UTV can be driven on if you put on Skis and then of course drive in 2 wheel drive, while on the snowmobile trails in MN.

    Love a UTV that is tracked. Very functional and looks COOL as well.

    I got some new Camoplast tracks for a Gator for under $4500 with a $150 rebate directly Camoplast. I visited Camoplast at the ice show and they gave me a rebate coupon if I bought them within 30 days of the show. Best price around. Atvtracks.com

    Wow. Some blingin’ toys, that’s for sure. Wish I had the coins to drop on a toy like that.

    What’s the service life of those tracks in terms of mileage? I talked to a guy once who’s whole gig was rebuilding Snowcats and he said that tracked vehicles God’s gift that keeps on giving to mechanics.

    They say they will last as long as a snowmobile track. So like everything it is how you take care of them. Keep them adjusted properly and greased they will be fine. They say driving on a road is better then a mowed lawn. Mine are made for 4 seasons however I will only be using them in the winter. you can get just the tracks to replace as well so not as expensive the second time if someone really uses them a lot. I have over 40 miles on mine and they are still like new, with even the tag on them yet.
