Our Kioti Mechron, On Tracks!

rmorey · Jan 9, 2016

Finally got to try out the tracks for our Kioti Mechron we got last March. Put them on (took a whole day) and now it's raining!

I hate when that happens!

Got a quick trip up into the woods. 10" of snow, didn't even notice it. These are gonna be awesome! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

That's pretty cool!!
How much did the tracks set you back?

rmorey · Jan 9, 2016

Hey Roy, we got them from our local Kioti dealer, but he merely arranged the deal. We were all in at $5,650, which included 13% taxes, so $5k. This is all CDN $$, so that equates to about $3,500 US. The company that makes them, also make for atv's for around $3,900 CDN.

Really cool. Is this something you leave on all year long or switch back when snow is gone? Is it a day job everytime you switch or is that just for the initial installation?

rmorey · Jan 11, 2016

This is a switch out every spring and fall. I could have bought a good used snowmobile for around the same price, but I hate having the side by side sitting here unuseable in the winter. (it`s useless in snow) :thumbdown: Its like a pickup for the woods, being a 900 CC diesel engine, it can haul anything anywhere. I have a DR Versatrailer that I use with it and together, I can load and haul a single cord of firewood at a time. Now I can use it all year long.

That was the initial install, so now that everything is setup and adjusted and I kinda know how to install it, 3 - 4 hours should switch things around. Assuming I remember from season to season! :laughing:

Can you post a video?

rmorey · Jan 11, 2016

Hey Murph, we just finished two days of rain here, but over the next few days, they`re talking about a few inches of snow again. I`ll scrape together a video or at least some pics of it climbing mountains of snow (if we ever get any).

I'd love to put my RTV 1100 on tracks. Yours looks great. Cabin and Heat are the rest of the pie. HS
