I think the tracks will diminish rough road conditions to some extent by carrying the weight of the machine and load over more square inches, and should lessen the jarring by a little bit. Dependent on the conditions you have, it may still make for a rough ride. Everyone's back is different, and what aches one person may not even be noticed by another.
The larger the tires and the more sidewall you have, there is an absorbing effect there as well. If you have small tires, and I believe you may have 21-22" tires? If so there's not much sidewall to begin with. You may check your tire pressure though as there is a tendency of folks to put too much psi in the tires.

I have owned three different machines with Adair tracks. I find that my 8x8 Argo HDI rides much smoother with the Adair style pro series tracks then it does with the Argo 24 inch tires run at low PSI. Unlike tires that run smother with low PSI I find that the 8x8 rides much better running the tires at a higher PSI the tracks very tight or what i would consider tight. Running the tracks at higher PSI lets them pass right over all the small irregularities in the road and allows me to ride down trails at a good clip. There are exceptions-you can't hit dip dips without a jar and you have to crawl over logs.
With the Adair tracks tight I find that I can move down trails at at good pace in areas where a 4x4 would have to crawl. The attached video is an example of just how well my machine moves across rough terrain. Try moving at this pace with a 4x4 and you would be in big trouble.

I had a conquest a couple of years ago with the adair tracks on it I goota say it was a tank for pulling out logs and it rode very good the longer wheelbase helps . I have a bigfoot right now fitted with the adair tracks and a frontier seat it rides decent but my future plans are for a 2015 frontier 8x8 with the efi engine and adair tracks.

Originally posted by Deedeelin1 View PostAfter Dan67 helped me out, here is what happened. I e-mailed Mike at Adair, I sent him photos of what I had, he said he could do it. Sent him the check and we were off to the races. A week later my Tracks are here. They were delivered in a big simi, we had a plan so when they got here it was a 15 minute drop. Very painless. It was as painless as Dan told me it would be. Thank you Dan for helping me.
