Half Tracks or Full Tracks?

[1975 Argo 8x8 2-Stroker]

My 8x8 is back in commition.

What do you think is better?

Tracking an 8x8 Argo with half tracks, or full tracks for the snow?

Thanks

i would have to go full tracs because on a half track vehicle like the old army type the front wheels were for steering it allowed for track type traction without expensive and elaborate transmissions to operate the tracks i dont see how half track on an aatv would give any benifit exept keeping cost of tracks down but i am no expert just my thoghts

i would go with a set of full track its hard on the trans and chains with too diferent sizes if your in soft ground all the time its not as hard on the the argo but on hard ground it takes a beating but this is my thoughts

I bet half tracks would work best if they covered the middle two. Then the front and rear would be slightly higher and when in the snow they would push the snow under the tracks... but i have a 6x6 and no tracks

No, what I mean is on an 8x8 one side has 4 tires and on that side there are 2 sets of tracks-so to speak like 2 tires to a track instead of a full track for the side.

I drew a quick example---take a look.

go with a single set on each side at full length, drop the rear set of chains in the machine. you will be posativly happy with this in snow. i would not split the tracks on one side
