      - Dennis, you stole my words exactly!!! 😂😂😂.
      I have friends that have never crashed, but have some of the worst looking quads & SxSs!!!
      Tracks are the way to go. If you don’t have a sled and just want mobility & utility in the snow, then don’t buy a second machine. Depending on what you ride/drive there are Somme great kits out there. I have a 2015 Honda Pioneer 700 2 seater and am running tracks through the winter. They are nice for how they spread the weight around on the ice as well as snow. I had to screw in some studs for mine on the ice. I don’t worth them or the machine like Andrew does though 😂😂. Nobody does!! Haha. It has turned into a great ice fishing machine. I either use a tent for ice hut protection, but I also have a 6 x 12 trailer I use also and I haul the Pioneer in the trailer, then pull the trailer out onto the ice and leave my truck on shore.
      Andrew should have shut the quad down as soon as it broke,,,, he did sooo much more damage. Oh well, it’s his machine!! 😂😂.
      Stay safe this winter everyone, Eh!

      I like the idea, but it leads to the questions, "Who can afford Indestructible? Is there a big enough market to make it worth the effort?"
      I think we have the answer in the way that every retailer demands made-down-to-the-price items from offshore sources. I'm not saying those sources are incapable of quality products, just that their customers (the retailers, and ultimately us) aren't willing to pay for it. Those tracks could have machined-from-billet titanium wheels at $5000 PER WHEEL but adding $120,000 to the price might seriously limit your customer base.

      Depends on the kinda plastic. If it’s Delrin, then it’s pretty durable. Anything else and it’s going to fail from either heat, cold and stress. If they had used steel rollers, it would weigh to much and the gearing on the UTV would be even worse. Aluminum could work, but again, not super durable.

      The thing is, no one is going to set up tracks on a vehicle like that unless they plan to drive it as hard as Andrew did. And he was mostly in nice powder snow, people are going to be running on snow that’s half ice. They just need to be a lot more durable.

      Have you watched The Grand Tour? In one of those episodes R. Hammond replaced his road wheels with a similar track system. The difference was that he wasn't driving in snow. The running wheels were also plastic and they eventually broke. But the stresses that were placed on them were much greater.

    The cab looks like a great idea in places with snow. Tracks fitted to wheeled vehicles are always some level of problematic. If they are built strong they tend to break the vehicle - if not they just tend to break... For sure Andrew will find the limits of most things soon enough. Cheers from Oz - no snow to worry about in my part at least. Thanks for the vids.

    Right at the beginning of your video when I saw the tracks made out of plastic parts my first thought was "its' gonna break for no reason" because it's plastic.... lol, however as I watched on, sure enough they did. These took a chunk out of the wallet and that bites. Andrew with your ingenuity, I have no doubt you could remake these to your standards out of durable metal parts probably for a smidgeon of the cost. If its made out of plastic, it has no use in your life... lol.

    • @matthewhayes7765
      @matthewhayes7765 Před 2 lety +1

      ​@@AndrewCamarata Okay so my two cents for what its worth. There's a great British company called Moorend. They make tracks like this for articulated things like site dumpers and loaders (like Avants) and they're great. Because the vehicle articulates and doesn't 'steer' you're not trying to screw the tracks round which I guess is a good start. The track frames also bolt straight to the loaders chassis, meaning the original drive motor is now only used for turning the tracks and not baring any weight anymore. Great stuff. They're also made much stronger (greaseable metal rollers etc) because it's bolting to strong frame. I guess these utv tracks need to be lighter built, or if they were built to construction grade, you'd never turn the wheel because of the weight attached to them. I think these utv track would be good in super deep super soft fluffy snow only. But the whole things a bit of a nightmare, there's nothing strong enough on a utv to bolt to to make them major heavy duty, they need to consider weight when building them. The suspension makes the whole thing a bit rolly-polly (again something a dumper or loader doesn't have. I think tracks and utv's go together in specific circumstances but overall aren't a good combination. but check out Moorend tracks, they're great.
