RTV for snow grooming

Deerlope · Jan 15, 2006

From looking at their web site I think that type of track is dependant on have some snow to lube them. But could be I am wrong. I want them for running with no snow mostly.

The track system on the RTV I converted is KIMPEX brand, I don't if they are any better then the tatou I liked the the front track approch seems to me they might be alittle easier to steer. and the track lug pattern looks like its better. I 'm the only one running kimpex , the other rtvs are running tatou around here, they have had some breakage but the company is standing behind their product, as far as running in conditions without snow, kimpex says to remove the plastic slide rails. seems to me the boggie wheels wouild be pretty short lived in non snow condtitions.I've only got 15 hrs on so who knows how they are going to hold up. I'm headed out to groom now we got 5-6 '' last night.

The RTV is a heavy machine so tracks can be a challange. I think you will see some additional wear and breakage with tracks on an RTV. I think the additional maintenance will be well worth it though. Putting tracks on an RTV is lite having a whole new machine. Kimpex makes a wonderful product. I am sure it will give years of wonderful service.

By the way that is one COOL looking RTV. Good going.

I went on Kempix's web site but did not see anything on the tracks for a Bota. But will keep looking.

Do you happen to live in New Hampshire? Right now there really isn't a groomer sized between Snowmobiles and Alpine groomers and the state is working with a local Kubota dealership to setup one of these. Looks sharp, I would love to try one out.

Im from western mass, and a snowmobile club a town or two north of me has two RTV's set up with tracks, hard cabs, plow, heater, ect. They pull groomers all the time and they work great. I own one myself and after seeing what the kubota can do with tracks and a groomer, I really want to get mine set up for grooming for the trails around my area.
