dan...hope your doing well , i don't see any reason half tracks would not be fine on a hustler . in fact if you look at richards relics website , they show a half tracked hustler. i'm heading to busco ride next month,so i will get some good testing again with my half tracked max and will give a update on the performance . at this point for my machine and it's uses , they do just as well...maybe better than full tracks . only in deep powder snow would the full be better i think . j.boy
