Adiar Tracks, all others need not apply

[mudbug3]

Great video! You could tell by watching the mud build up in front of the tub of your Argo 6x6 that the mud in this swamp was extremely soft! Adair tracks rule!

Would you send your 10 year old into a hole like this? Not without Adair tracks.
Here is a video I shot with my new phone. It is in the woods behind our house and is the reason I outfitted a machine with Adair Tracks. I sent Jason into the hole to do a quick loop. He decided to do two but he made it look so easy I just included once around. The farthest I have ever mad it with AquaTorques is about 6 feet. With my Max II I could get about 15 feet with a good run. Enjoy.

Now that's a Muck Pit, ........................ Any Crocogators in there? lol.

What amazes me is that with the Adair tracks we own this mud hole now. An old fence line actually runs along the far edge and we used to try and run the short section in a straight line, one side to the other, with no sucsess. When I got the Argo with the Adair tracks that was the first place I went. Then something amazing happened, I turned. Now the trail goes straight across AND loops around through the mud hole. Its really cool and we make it part of our near daily trail ride. Now that I figured out how to get the videos up I will take a few more.

Hey Keith, thats quite the pig pit you have! Looks like the boys are having a blast. Did you post any pics of the ditch ride in Iowa? Looking foward to our next get- together,but we need to coordinate it with the next time Tim gets up this way.

Never seen a Crocogator but there are some very large Snapping Turtles that live in there. They wander up by the house now and then as they move between marshes. I think my wife has a few pictures and the old Austrailin Sheperd had a pretty nasty scar on her nose from tangling with one.

Doug, I started a thread under the other trail rides forum with the pictures Tim took of me.
Adair Tracks Testing Grounds
Let us know when the bugs will allow us to ride again. Keith.

Keith that is a very impressive video. The Fact that you have tried and failed with your MaxII and Aqua Torque tires makes it that much more impressive. I know of no other machine that could move in that kind of muck without Adair tracks. That little Bigfoot of yours and other Bigfoots that I have seen up close and personal with Adair tracks continue to impress me with their capabilities.

Thanks Dan, Jason ran the Bigfoot with tracks this weekend at a friends property. He was able to run the old trails in the back marsh that had only been winched through previously and had not been run for 15 years. People were also amazed at how it would effortlessly climb out of the pond against a small 90 degree bank. He gave lots of rides through the marsh and even caught some snapping turtles.

I should note that my Max IV with factory rubber tracks will become hopelessly stuck in this hole while the Bigfoot drives around it to grab the winch cable. The Max IV with factory rubber tracks will just push the muck up infront of the tracks until it can't move forward over it and then sort of high centers itself. It kind of sucks because after you winch yourself out the muck and weeds are all stuck up around the bearing support bar and extensions and it is a pain to get it all cleaned up again.

For all you Max owners interested in Adair tracks. I took these pictures when I had my Max IV fitted for a custom set of 18.5" tracks to go over my 25" Rawhide III tires. It compares my Max to the standard track/tire combinations Tim sells for Max vehicles.



It's cool that a place like Adair Argo sales can make almost any amphibian so capable.

Keith, I can't wait to see your Hustler Bigfoot in that line up with 2" grousers.

These are the new metal plate Adair tracks that I recently installed on my Argo 6x6.

Comparing the new Adair, metal plate tracks to the Adair, case hardened ,chain link tracks that I took off, these are the differences :

1. Each grouser is spaced 3/4 inches farther apart
2. Each grouser is about 1/2 inch thicker
3. Each grouser extends 1/2" inch longer down the side walls of the tire, making it harder to walk out of track
4. Each grouser has a rounded profile compared to the flat profile of the chain link , Adair track design ,and making side to side turns is now even easier. This really compliments the Admiral steering transmission
5. Each grouser is 3/8" of an inch taller in the cenrter of each grouser to provide more traction
6. The chain link design, Adair tracks have a 3 3/4" inch , UHMW spacer that's between each grouser on either side ,but the metal plate design in all open for more traction.
7. The metal plate design has two 3/16" inch metal plates that fit through each grouser on either side and connected to two 1/4" inch steel plates in between them. The 3/16" inch steel plates and the 1/4" inch steel plates are held together by a 3/8" stainless steel shouder on either side
8. The metal plate design Adair tracks keep the tires centered in the tracks even better than the chain link design Adair track
