I mesure the ice about 9 inches thick, my JD 4720 with the tracks weight 3 tons + do you think it's safe ??

With the tracks I am sure you're good to go.

This is my rule of thumb for driving a truck on the ice, if I see other tracks on the ice, then I will do it, if I have to be the trail blazer, forgetaboutit:laughing:

Make sure it's more than one set of tracks. You get a real funny feeling if you're following one set of tracks and.......pooof...their gone!:D

Hey, post a pic of your unit on here. Hard to get a close look on your sig.

Got a chance to run a set of Suretrac/fourtracs on a NH TS125, pulling a 9 ft drag. Nice ride. Operated a Gilbert system for a while too. Got to keep those sled trails smooth.

Why do you have the Soucy's? You do a lot of running on the snow?

From the looks of your rig (big footprint with rubber tracks) I'll wager a dollar that the psi it exerts on the ice is less than you in boots.

Cool id like to see that. :cool::thumbsup:

Where they race locally there is no room to park so they clear the river with a MFWD 3140 with a loader. :eek:
