I had recieved my Channel tracks last week and had a chance to install them on the weekend. I will start with the install, I have spacers and tuners from Adair, I installed tires to size according to my last thread. The Channel track belting was predrilled for install and when set to proper sag the holes were perfect. Of coarse I had to take the Argo for a rip right away, and all i can say is WOW. I expected alot for performance but still was pleasently surprized. The argo steers better than tires, rides better, and uses less fuel because you don't have to work it as hard to get through stuff. I went through a couple steep little ravines, the first had a nice drift on the opposite hill and I just plowed through it going up with barely slowing down. The next ravine was very sharp and had a drift that was 5-6' deep and 8' high, I did not make that one, the nose was almost vertical and hit into the drift going up, so I backed up and just took a couple runs at the drift in a not as bad spot and got up. Then I took a cut line that is very bad for drifting, some drifts were 6-8'(were fairly hard) with 1-2' of powder on top and uphill, had no problems what so ever never spun a track at all. So I am very pleased with the performance and the quality of the track and workmanship and think this track could be the best bang for the $.

I've been using them for over a year on my avenger and they are amazing. It's like having another machine. I went throu over a foot of heavy slush and no problem. It was pushing the snow in front so much that it made a big snow bank. I had to equal it so nobody would hit it with a snowmobile. They are jsut great.JackComment

I took my wife for a ride and went up a hill that could barely make with tires, drove 3/4 the way up, stopped, turned down the hill and drove half way, then turn back up the hill with no problem at all. I took her on the run that I mentioned previously and she said the tracks are unstoppable (it definitely feels that way), but I told her everything can get stuck. I cannot wait for more seat time now, it is too much fun. Thanks to everyone on this site for the great info, I almost feel bad for not helping with trial and error to get the Argo working this good!!!Comment
