Argo 6x6 Bigfoot tracks

[Kfactor]

Hi I was looking at getting Adair tracks for my 2001 Argo 6x6 Bigfoot . I called Adair about tracks for it and man when I got tho quote I almost **** my self lol with there usd to can doller it would be 5300 shipped . I really want to get tracks but at that price I don’t really get how ppl can afford that . I got my 2001 Bigfoot for 4500$ the tracks are worth more then the machine. Is there a cheaper alternative?

I feel your pain...seems like your cheapest track would be the Argo plastic or try to contact the guy in Canada that makes the channel tracks...I’m saving for the Argo rubber tracks myself...not cheap!

I don’t want to go cheap but man I did not think it would be that much . I mostly will be using my Argo for snow and here in sask it gets pretty cold and want somthing that will last me along time

For an Argo in snow there is no substitute for rubber tracks.

I had a 2000 argo bigfoot with the 18 supertracks with cleats. I bought a frontier and still use the tracks with that machine. They work great but steep hills can be a problem to climb. You will need wheel extensions to mount these tracks. You can use these tracks in swamp and mud but they will wear quicker. So I have had these tracks for 16 years and they are still in good shape.

I called a Argo dealer and they told me the rubber tracks for my Bigfoot the motor wouldn’t have enough power is this true ?

I would say that is a true statement unless you have the low "GU" transmission in your Bigfoot. The ratio of your tranny is stamped in the top of the tranny. HU=high ratio, MU=medium, and GU is low or granny. Heavy tracks and deep snow suck up a lot of power.

Would the Adair tracks turn a lot easier ?

Early Bigfoots came standard with the HU trans, any track low range is about needed at all times. My v-2 about stops at any turn with the HU in it with 13 inch tracks in high.

I have super tracks and a set of adair tracks pro series? There really isn't any noticeable difference in performance over tires except a lower top speed. In water they will propel you but slowly. As far as turning the machine with the adair tracks, it's a big improvement. I have only been hung up once with the adair tracks and that was due to a sizable stick getting caught in the tracks and preventing full rotation.

Yeah it's not as bad as I wrote, that was heavy wet snow with 2 people and a worn belt. However if you have the G trans you are better off.

I use the regular width plastic tracks on my 2001 Big Foot. There are no spacers and the only time I ever have any problems is on ice. I do not have cleats. The tracks are at least 20 years old. I am in Northern Ontario and snow is no problem.

Thanks 9.3 for the post - I have a 2001 bigfoot - my new to me first argo - and have the regular plastic tracks for it. I've been hoping to use them this winter in Feb to get back to the hunting camp on a forest access road and with some of the other comments about how much better other tracks were I was getting worried about if I would get stuck back in the woods well off of the beaten path. It sounds like if I stay away from the really deep snow and steep hills they should be OK.

If you make a path early in the snow season you could probably get into the camp later on...nothing like trying! What’s the worst that can happen? A little snow shoveling and a winch can probably get you at least, turned around to go back if no more forward progress is possible...
