Sweet looking, but looks like it would cost more than foam filled tires.

There is no pricing list on their web site. Wonder why these are being sold. Says they were used in a cranberry bog - sounds like the ideal application.

The plastic geared ATV ones are about $3800 a set.

Looks like something that Waldon52 would build!

No, Ozley, I saw the 15K price on the selling site. I went to the Mat Trax site and there is no price listing for new ones on that site. You have to send Mat Trax an email and wait for a response to get a price.

Awesome looking setup.
One problem I would personally have with this setup,(besides that I don't get enough snow) is the travel speed. Going from an R1 diameter tire to the diameter of the drive cog of the track will greatly reduce travel speed. But increase ground engaging torque. I would imagine you would be operating in high range most of the time. Their website states a 25 - 50% gear reduction depending on original tire size.
All said I would still feel invincible sitting in the operators station.
