First time out in the snow. Have the tracks on.
Warmed up to -11 degrees celcius so was a nice day for a ride.

Nice start, wow though tracks look loose. How many segments are you running?

I have been wondering and worrying about that myself.
I think the PO has installed a "half link" as its made of metal and I think it makes the tracks too loose.
The tracks hit and rub the bottom of the tub or the top side of the tracks.
However since I know nothing about tracks I was uncertain of what to do.
I dont want them too tight either.
I think this week I will try and remove that metal link and see how they fit.

great video... you got tough hands,no gloves !! wish we would get a decent snow here in va. only 1 or 2 '' so far. thanks for the video. j.b.

I would try 35 segments with 3.5 psi seeking the 2 in sag when jacked up, after connecting the tracks roll them around in the air a few times to see how the fit and how much gap is present. If 35 is too tight try 35-1/2 as those tires look to have grown. Less air pressure and tighter tracks should end the body contact unless the body has sagged.

looks fun how deep was that snow in the drift you pushed through in the full video?

Thanks ArgoJim.

I had 37 1/2 segments. Had to be 6-8" of droop. Took two out and seems to be much tighter.

I should have got out and do a depth check but I would guess somewhere between 1-2 feet.
I was driving on a large snow filled ditch on the side of the road.
Still working out track tension issues.

The big test is next weekend. Off road into the cottage then out on the lake for some ice fishing.
