trackster with GEO motor

[mudbug3]

The person who did the build up on this Trackster did some outstanding work.

Very cool.
I want one

That's a 1st class build.

Very, very cool, that machine was way ahead of it's time but even with a big engine there seems to be some power and Hydraulic issues that keep that machine from having the grunt it would need for climbing and serious mud. It had quite a bit of difficulty going over even a small mound of snow.
As much as I like this machine I see several short comings and would prefer newer updated Russian machine a lot more

Or, for $34k you can buy one of these, no power issues, I've driven one.http://www.terratrack.com/movie.html The guy who built the Geo powered one did an outstanding job on his build, I suspect he patterened it from the Terra Track, looks like he bought the ROPS from them. I have an extra Trackster that I plan on doing this to someday, to many projects, so little time...

That guy did a GREAT job! It was a very clean and well done swap for sure.

Viewing one vid but commenting on another just trying to understand...

I hope mine looks and performs this good when it's done! Love the snowflage camo!!!

I watched that again after reading this comment. I don't think the machine was having trouble, maybe the driver. It sounded like he stopped and ran the motor rpm up instead of pushing the t-handle. It probably takes a little getting used to and it looks (by the condition of the machine) like that was an early test run.

I don't think he was having an issue due to lack of power, he is probably running that machine without a governor set-up, so keeping his RPM's constant might be hard to do. I also think he was sliding on the branch that was under the snow, lost traction momentarly. Shouldn't be any lack of power with 50+ hp to use...
