This last video shows how well an Argo 8x8 swims with the generation ' 8 ' tracks. Tim is now selling generation 12 tracks.

Hey RD,
Been out of town....but meaning to ask you. Where I hunt one of the things that has kept me from using the rubber tracks is the sidehills. With a moose and all our gear, trying to side hill along a valley, and its constant steering corrections, is tough enough with tires only. With rubber tracks and all the traction they have, I have serious worries about using them as it has GOT to be tough on the drivetrain. But of course, tires limit what you can do when you hit a creek bog on the way, thus the desire to have tracks.
With the Adair tracks, they "seem" to slide easier or steer easier, at least in the videos you have. (try doing the spin-a-roo on the highway like you did with rubber tracks ....) Would you say the Adair would be somewhere in between tires and rubber tracks for how they would side-hill?
If they are then the may be the answer I am looking for..........

Whew, Derik that's a loaded question. I would love to tell you "Yes, they will work great in that capacity". Unfortunatly, every situation will be different. To date, I have not had any issues with "Sidehilling", but I can see it ending in catastrophy under the right conditions. The Adair Tracks that I currently use have Grousers shaped remarkably like Ski's. Now, I think that if the tracks are properly fitted and tire pressures are right, I don't think you would drive out of them, but if conditions were right (or wrong, depending on how you look at it), it might be possible to start the machine sliding sideways down a hill. THIS WOULD NOT BE A GOOD THING (as I'm sure you know)
I tell ya what, I will do some extensive sidehilling on my next trip, loaded and unloaded, I will report back to you with my results. I won't hold back on my findings, if it works good I'll tell ya. If I end up rolled up in a mixed ball of "Stuff, Argo, and Body Parts"......... Um, I'll try to get my wife to post a message on my behalf
