nice spookum! Ha Ha buzz-saw tracks.... That's kinda funny. Looks like the monster is really ready to stretch it's legs. As you probably figured out already....when you're doing steep climbs, hit your obstacles just a bit off center. Even snow banks and ditches. It'll keep you from smacking the front belly of your machine at the beginning and sometimes near the very end of the climb. And it lowers the angle of the climb....similar to a switchback road up a steep mountain side. Lucky for you, you'll be able to build momentum quicker than the average bear too. But yeah, just a bit off center....see how that does. You might be able to get by without a winter kit...we'll see I guess. Looks like it did great even without the higher skid-plate clearance that most machines have and without ground-level belting in the snow. A winter-kit is always an additional option.

Really like the sound of that beast. No trouble plowing thru snow with it....looking forward to more vids in the future.

Looks good spookum. Plenty of power with that geo metro engine.

that sounds really promising. Sounds like you'll have the power to maintain some track speed even up a hill in deep snow. I would never get tired of watching videos. Kinda makes me wanna juice up the kubota for the same reason.

Very impressive Spookum. You have built and machine and track system you can be proud of. The only way you can get a real perspective of just how well that machine covers terrain is by having someone outside the vehicle film you running through the snow and over obstacles. Once again-IMPRESSIVE!!!!!

Sweet! Wish mine could handle tracks. Body sag, 16hp and small axles make me not wanna put them on though. Nice toy.

[spookum]

To be honest, mine started out with 16 HP and body sag..... it just takes time.

I think body sag's catching, I'd no sooner cured it on my Argo than I caught it

A heat gun and a couple of 2x4's should have you back to new in no time.
