    Changing lower drive sprockets on 6x6

    Hey there a buddy put a set of addairs on his 6x6 with the 580 b&s,I think we both thought it would have comparable Performence to my avenger with tracks.Its not bad with machine and operator but any extra weight or trailer or skimmer it's lacking.Any chance any body has changed bottom driven sprocket? I remember as a kid doing this on old dirt bikes for more bottom end.Thanks in advance for any tips or info.One local guy here who is very knowledgeable thinks transmission gear change is best way,but sounds pricey.tks again Robin

    I think changing the transmission to a different gear set range is the way to go I know with the older Argos there was 2 or 3 different gear ranges marked on top of the transmission with a letter.

    Check that the CVT is working properly and tuned properly.

    I forgot to add it's a 2015 ,I have the same one for a second machine but have no tracks on it and have no complaints.I actually like it better than my 09 avenger for touring around it handles so nice in the bush.tks Robin

    Check both of your 6x6's trans for the 3.3 stamping, if one has it run the tracks on that one. I've considered gear changes though clearance is an issue for me.
    If you could afford to loose some ground clearance, 22's will gear down the machine and 21's even more so.


    My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
    Joe Camel never does that.

    Advice is free, it's the application that costs.
