I will have a set of these classic tracks soon for my 750 HDi and will post a couple pics as well as a video or two? These classic tracks will swim just fine I think and will work well up here in Alaska. I will still have to wait till end of May to swim them but will definitely get a short video.
Any new input or real world reports on these UMHW escargo style tracks ?
I've tested several variations of that style track, which is a wider version of the adair classic. As long as the track is built properly (cnc routered cleats..not hand cut) and assembled squarely to the proper length with proper belt clearance..and beveled inner belts.. it's going to work well. Some situations are going to require cleats to be added for traction. Just like the classic, you should use track tuners.
I've seen one set from Beaver Dam up here and there were some "fit and finish" issues. The tracks were sent back, and Beaver Dam eventually sent a replacement which looked much better.
There are some escargo-style methods of assembly that need to be followed....namely with the fasteners...(thread and bolt-head direction in regards to tire sidewall). But the wider versions of elevated belt tracks are going to work very well, especially if you have traction when you need it.

to state the obvious, don't believe the claim that an all-uhmw track will climb out onto the ice w/o some sort of traction aid.
No extra Traction added, enough said.

your tracks look good. I love to see the little ones drive!
This is my nephew Noah he has autism. When i pull into his parents property with my max on the traier, his whole world seems to stop. He runs over and stands there till i get it unloaded, and then we are off for the day. You cant get the smile off his face. After all isnt this what its all about.
