That turns the RTV into a real year-round machine. No matter how much snow you will get, that won't stop you from hauling wood! Very impressive! I am assuming the price is also impressive too! I've once met Mr. Pierre Marcouiller, the former president of Camso. Very kind guy. Thanks!
They were not cheap but I bought them as part of the total package. Glad that I did! Now I have to build my hitch hauler and get at it!
It looks like another great addition, Jason. I had an atv with camso tracks in the past, worth their weight in gold. Keep the great videos coming. Cheers. Scott
Thanks for the feedback Scott. They seem pretty good to me!
What a great way to make a very useful tool even more versatile! 👍 very cool! Thanks for sharing! All the best, Jeff and Leslie.
Came in handy today that's for sure! Ice storm pulled over a bunch of trees on the trails and we were taking "alternate" routes through fields and roads that were not plowed to collect sap!
We both agree, those tracks are a great addition to your inventory and they look sweet! In the past few months we have struggled big time traveling through the snow with the Kawasaki Mule and normal tires. Thanks for Sharing Jason!! Best, David and Rachel form CFS!!!
Thanks guys. We love them! I'm going to rig up my portable winch on the back of it and use it like a mini-tractor in the snow to pull out some softwood logs and firewood poles. I couldn't get to the woods in the Winter for years so this will open some options for me even if my productivity is lower!
Best video yet, love the intro. See you in the next one!
Hi Michael, thanks for the feedback. We appreciate your support!
Awesome machine. I really like the video on a snowy day. My cabin is located in a subtropical place, so snow conditions are probably harsher than they seem. Nice video!
The snow is melting for this year. I can't wait to try the tracks out next Winter after a few big snow storms! Thanks for stopping by, Jason.
you are going to love them. I have the Camso T4S on my Grizzly and have not gotten stuck for the past 2 years since I got them. Gives me access to the woodlot all year round
I love to hear this feedback... tells me I made the right choice!
@@OakMountainAcotts no doubts. As an other commented, as long as you don't try and climb across a fallen tree or stumps and get hung up, you are going to really enjoy them. I guess that the only down side is that with the tracks installed on my Grizzly, my ATV will not fit in my 4x8 trailer as the tracks are wider than the tires
Looks like a fun vehicle to drive in the snow!
It's no race horse but we haven't managed to get it stuck yet!
I have these on my 2014 Kubota x1100c -- game changer. I of course keep them on all year long..... only big challenge (and this is for any track system) is additional maintenance matters.
These machines are built to work! I wish they had a little more speed though…
Jason you got yourself a tank! I heard nothing but good things on the brand of tracks.
Thanks Mark, I hope they stand the test of time!
Nice machine.The tracks look like they will get the job done.
So far so good Larry! Thanks for watching, Jason.
Good Morning Sir, we have some our ATV in the RCAF with track and all the operator love it 👍👌 It is my friend Joe who did a Shoot out about your OUTSTANDING chanel Sir CHeers 👌👍🧐🍻
Thanks for stopping by to see us! Heading over to your channel now to take a look! Take care, Jason.
Jason, Good video! Tracks Rule on off road situations🪵👍🏼🚜🇺🇸
Thanks guys! Karen says I need to stop buying stuff and cut more wood!!!
They are good, I have them on my Atv and love them on my 5th year. There is 1 thing that you will have to look out for. Trees that will spring up after your front tracks go over so that it will catch the rear tracks they do not have a good angle of attack to climb over.
Thanks for the tip… that sounds like a good trap to avoid for sure! No major maintenance issues with your set after 5 years?
@@OakMountainAcotts I have had no issues with them. Now I just take a small chainsaw with me just in case for anything.
@@marklaviii awesome! Going for another ride this morning!
I’m so jelly!
It works well :)
a good idea if you gonna use it in lots of fluffy snow would be to get one of those large plastic sheets and mount it to the under side so its nice and flat so it covers places where snow can get hung up letting it slide making it much harder to get stuck.
Good idea! It has a full body metal belly plate there now but the plastic would likely slide through the snow better. Thanks for watching!
I put these on customers rtvs all the time, I rebuild the bottom of the grillgaurd, I tuck it in more so thy can turn better, takes some welding but it's worth it.
Great idea!
How's she goin'? Those tracks should serve you well in your application. One thing I always was concerned about when I gear something up for off roading, is when you get stuck you're really stuck. So your idea of getting a winch for snigging logs is a good one as it may help you get out of a spot someday!! Nice set up you have now folks. Take care!!!
Hi Mike! We”re soon going to have to cut some firewood with all of this gear! Take care, Jason.
@@OakMountainAcotts Ha Ha Ha!!! You have make some syrup first though eh!!
Good day to you. I do have these tracks since 6 years now on my 2009 Club Car XRT 1550 diesel (''huge'' 20hp engine ;-) ) and it work very well (35-50hrs/year, only winter use) Except usual maintenance and cleanup, nothing to report except wider turning radius, slower speed and a little higher fuel consumption. I just remove them to put back wheels for summer and will clean/inspect them before their ususal storage time. Since years, those tracks are design and made localy in Québec. Good for you to ''test'' traction and capabilities because with tracks you can go further but also can go to be stuck further. Be well.
Thanks for the feedback! I bet when they get stuck, you would almost need a backhoe to get them out!
@@OakMountainAcotts shovel and winch :-(
Your rear mud flaps definitely rub when going up those steep slopes. Great addition to the Kubota. I’m definitely considering a set for my Polaris Ranger next year.
Thanks Richard. I'm not sure if I should cut those rubber flaps down now or just let them wear that way for a while. They were an add on... I'll keep you posted on any issues I may have with the tracks!
@@OakMountainAcotts Maybe just remove them when the tracks are on? There usually just held on with a few bolts.
@@richardbrowne1679 I’m going to check it out. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Any issues steering, can you turn as sharp as you can with wheels ? If I put tracks on mine it will be that brand. My idea was to build skies for my trailer for when I have the tracks on it.
That would be an excellent idea. The steering radius is not as tight but it is not a big deal. There are cables underneath that act as limiters so that your tracks do not contact the frame.
I love Camso tracks, had them on a Can Am max Outlander and a Ranger. Hated getting stranded by them way out in the bush. Antirotation bars are really wimpy.
They worked well for us. Sold the RTV but kept the tracks for the next SxS…
You did an amazing job with your video, thank you. I think I will be getting me a set for my RTV-XG850 sidekick. I was looking for a video that shows how to install a set of tracks. Is it hard? How long does it take?
Hi, the track installation isn’t easy. They come off quicker than they go on but for me, installation in the Fall was a 4 hour job. We have since traded our RTV on a tractor. How do you like the 850?
@@OakMountainAcotts I like it so far, only had it for a little over a year. I pushed quite a bit of snow last winter with it and didn’t have any issues with it. I want tracks on it for hunting elk in the snow.
@glenolson8640 doesn’t sound like you are close to us or I would sell you my set!
That’s a nice set-up. I’ve got tracks on a Polaris ranger, but those camso’s are way nicer. How’s the boiling going? Thought we’d see a video on that by now?
Hi Todd, the sap runs are erratic right now. Hopefully this week things will settle in a little and we can do a video!
Greetings Jason / Karen, Lee here, nice looking addition to your RTV, can you run in two wheel drive or does it have to be 4 wheel drive all the time? Great instruction video, keep up the good work, you and your family keep well, later
Hi Lee! You can run in 2WD on a road. Dad and I were in a field and thought we were almost stuck until I realized it was not in 4WD! Take care, Jason
Do you plan on switching back to the wheels in the summer ? That would make for a interesting video.
Yes, we will go back to wheels when the snow is gone. Supposed to be an easy swap. We will see!
I watched this series when it came out. I know we just got more snow recently. How did they hold up? How hard are they to remove and put back on. Did you take them off for summer?
Hi, I took the tracks off in the Spring and put them back on with the first snow. Took about 2-3 hrs to change but got easier every time. I had one bearing on a bogie wheel fail. $60 for replacement parts. I liked them but awfully slow on the Kubota. I just traded the RTV on a 4060 Grand L tractor but kept the tracks. Hope this helps.
@@OakMountainAcotts I just watched an installation video. Brackets and adjustments seems like quite a project to install and remove. I think I will just plow and stick with the tires. Yeah the rtv is slow even on wheels but I like the cab heat and air. I have a 7060 to plow and work feilds and like it. Think you’ll like the 4060.
Great feedback. Thanks!
I have a duck marsk I was wondering how it would perform in shallow water and mud
So far so good for us. My RTV is heavy though so you would want to be careful in black mud!
I'm wondering if you can still use the kubota Oem Snow blower with these tracks and if anyone has this setup.
Thanks
I would like to know that as well. My dealer doesn’t know the answer.
@Oak Mountain Acotts thanks for the reply we are just curious our dealer says yes, but unsure if the hydraulic lines will get in the way.
Good to know, the k connect system and blower is close to $15k apparently so would be pretty disappointing to make the investment and find out it wouldn’t work!
Them look like they are a very very good quality compared to others
They see to be just like a snowmobile track!
@@OakMountainAcotts yeah the other tracks that I have seen look to not be built as good I like how they have some heavy duty bogey wheels
how about bigger tires with chains?
Might be a good upgrade!
Run it in 6 Feet of virgin snow. I want to see if it will float and pull going uphill in steep country.
We’ll have to wait for some snow!
I’d loved to a comparaison with Mattracks with seems a lot more technologically advanced 🤔
I have seen those on CZcams. How expensive are they?
How are they to steer Jason with the tracks on??
It ok I seen another reply…lol
You don’t feel anything different in the steering wheel… pretty smooth!
So the Kubota is a workhorse and is slow with tires, a top speed of 25 mph I think. The top speed with tracks is what, 8 to 9 mph?
That sounds about right..
With what you are up to out there those tracks are really gunna pay for themselves...
I think so! I needed some Winter options instead of hibernating until Spring. Thanks for watching!
@@OakMountainAcotts love your set up... do you do this full-time or juggle a 9 to 5 in-between
@@buckinfirewood I work the first 40 hrs for the big guys… everything after that is mine. My firewood is a side hustle… we are not near any large populations and everyone here has a chainsaw in the garage which keeps prices and volumes low. So my approach is to help my woodlot by taking out the junk and value add it to about $260 for a full cord instead of selling to the mills for $90 - $100 per cord roadside…
@@OakMountainAcotts I had to make a choice to quite my day job and go full time or stop answering my phone.. I choose the phone... absolutely love doing my own thing..so rewarding.. im a log hauler by trade so I've made some good connections over the years... might not be the best wood in a pinch but I always seem to get a load when I need it
Networking and personal connections are key... not sure what the future will hold for me but I certainly know which work I prefer (and it involves a chainsaw!).
I got one, you could walk faster, but it will go anywhere
Hi Rick, they are pretty slow but I’m learning to enjoy it. Thanks for watching.
I couldn’t handle driving that slow…lol
Yeah she is slow but you learn to enjoy it for what it is… cup of coffee with some maple syrup in it, tunes on the radio and nice scenery!
Me either, there is not much power there, a real sloth. Most lawnmowers would have a snappier engine.
People that buy these have not a clue what a real SxS will do with tracks. Takes real power to run em.
Well that’s an underhanded shot…
@@OakMountainAcotts Well try somebodies Polaris 900xp or 1000 with tracks, right off you'll know you got the wrong machine for tracks. You can't spin all 4 at once going up a hill.
I guess I’ll have to try it out…
