flippy, it floats just fine. seems to swim a little better but those tires with the adair tracks never did swim well. i will probably design a couple of quick install wheel paddles for swimming although i,m not in water much. the high frame design let's me go in deeper water before it even starts to float anyway. johnboy va.

awesome,thats what I need to know seeing as I would be on lake st clair in the winter.I bet sitting up high keeps the tub from bottoming out in the snow also.Makes me wonder if tracks would even be necessary.With your lift it seems that wheel extensions are not needed either.

yes, there is plenty of clearance. i kept the axles the same distance apart as they were. if you spaced them 28'' to 30'' apart you could run 3 26'' 0r 28'' tires on each side. that would set you up even higher ground clearance. if you do build it i will share what design finally worked the best. all the bugs are out now. j.b. yes there are no wheel extensions needed either.

thanks a.k. she plowed thru about 24'' of snow today with the adair tracks to which i added 2'' belts on each side of each track. that might be it. we have 36'' now. thats up to the top of the tub and it's powdery snow. i think i would need 24'' wide tracks !! i like the 21 hp vanguard. can feel the extra 5 hp and the new drive clutch is much smoother than the 15 yr. old. one. be a couple of days to plow out. johnboy va.
