Tracks on Cut's

Anyone out there have anything like this on their tractors?

I got a set of them on an RTV 900. This is a pic from a gromming show held in NY recently.

That sure looks cool.

I know of a guy who has them on his 4-wheeler. That thing is amazing with those on.

I once saw a pickup at Sunshine Village ski resort outside of Calgary that had them on. It was running up a snow-covered access road. It was very impressive the amount of traction it seemed to have.

Those look nice, and complicated. I wouldn't want to be the one to start a traction conversation on this forum, but, my R4's worked flawlessly untill I went thru a spring tonight and got them wet. Instant snowman on each wheel. Gotta go before I say something irrelevant again..

Here's a link to a new concept in simple tracks for a CUT

All the track systems look really cool. I guess they would be worth trying if you had snow most of the year,had money to burn or just wanted a really different tractor.

Maybe just do the rears with tracks for a half track.

I built a sset of tracks for my 5300JD a few years back. Only cost me a day in the shop and about 300 for steel. They work great. although they don't have the rollers and a long tractor to ground area, they still get me around well. I initially made them to protect the tires from punctures. I was mowing some hawthorn trees and the tires were taking a beating.
What I did was take channel iron, cut it to the length of the tire width, weld a three lengths of chain, one length to one channel, one to the other with one in the middle so it could hinge. I made it long enough to wrap the tire while deflated, bolted it together and reinflated. used 8 inch channel for the rears and 6inch for the front. No more flats and I can tell you that I could go anywhere I pointed the frontend
They did enhance the floatation some, but I can see that they wouldn't make it in deep snow. But for my needs they were thousands less and worked well.
