You're absolutely right you can get a very good used sled for that price. But if you can find a used set of tracks that properly fit your particular machine it is worth trying. Without having to buy the adapters is a big bonus. Different experience all together my wife really appreciates the smoothness versus a sled ride at the moment.
Not saying that they didnt do great in the deep snow, but I really thought that they would have done a little better on the hills. I have got to get me some tracks for mine.
I've already been up and down this stretch few times in the last couple weeks same thing just piles on fast. Tis the season I'd rather have the snow than the freezing rain that goes with this..
Is that the GT I’ve always wanted to do it but only been as far as the bridge. How far does it go? How many km? Places to get gas? I’m on a bike so extra fuel is limited for me. I always thought it went to Ignace not Sioux?
Which Bridge? why I asked there's a number of them. It's about 750 km ish round trip.. The ish is because you might want to do some wandering off the main rail bed and put in some extra kilometres.. we have. You'd have to take a sideroad in to Upsala to get gas. And there's one other place at Silver Dollar which is just North of the railbed on the 599 6 km up the highway if you need it. But they are seasonal. And they have a small supply of convenience stuff food wise. At one time it did go all the way to Sioux Lookout but some of it has washed out on the northern half. And when you get to the spots you just backtrack to a side road (There are a number of these little side roads all the way .)that brings you out onto Hwy 642. Hope this help..
@@chevy6794 no problem the Flett tunnel. Not too far out of town heading west. You can even access it by road fairly easy.. But there are an awful lot of really unique bridges as well just saying all the way up.
First belt lasted 10000 km. Retired the next one at 16000km when we finally replaced the clutch with a CVT Tech still going strong. Thank you for watching.
We've tried skis. The tracks have a bigger foot pattern versus the skis we've tried. For us it didn't it didn't work out very well. Don't get me wrong still a different type of fun.. That's all these tracks have been for us versus even a snowmobile just something different. And thank you for watching.
Thanks for giving a good example of quad tracking, its abilities and limitations. For we elderly types, it requires considerably less exertion than sledding. Quads don't get stuck as easily, but they can become very stuck too. Fuel consumption is at least 50% higher than on wheels. We've run an assortment of rigs from 500 Polaris, 700 Arctic Cat and Grizzly, and our current favourite - 1000 Arctic Cat. There is no such thing as too much power. The smaller machines do surprisingly well, but it bothers me to run them on the governor all day long.
GunnyE9 thanks for watching gunny and you're right I'm sure she's been around since the 40s if not earlier. I haven't had much of an opportunity to do some research on this one yet to find the exact date
Definitely more utility out of a vehicle that could never be here normally in those conditions. But being a guy that uses winter to haul loads of cargo and supplies into the backcountry I just can’t see ATV with tracks being able to keep up.
