All,
I installed my Tru Trax on my Argo this summer, and have now had several trips out to my property located in Dorchester County on the lower eastern shore of Maryland.
I don't have any videos to post (yet) but I wanted to give my review of these tracks based on my personal experience.
Our property consists of heavily flooded, pine forests leading to open brackish marshland. The pines are dying due to red heart disease, so there is constant new dead fall and debris falling into our trails. The forest trails are heavy mud/clay bottoms with up to 4' of water depending on tides, wind, and rain conditions. Hidden below the water and mud, there are tree stumps, logs, and grasses. Top speed with tracks is about 4 mph, which feels like light speed, without tracks, the trails are impassable. Once you hit the marsh, most of the trails are under water, some very, very deep, with the only traction provided by clumps of marsh grass scattered throughout the trails.
Ugly stuff to be sure.
My review is simple. These TRU TRAX work great. They spread the weight of the Argo out better than plain tires, they prevent damage to the tires and wheels from stumps and logs, and gain traction well enough to pull the Argo out of the deep mud once you reach a grass clump or a harder bit of ground.
If you are operating in similar conditions, I cannot recommend these TruTrax enough for you.
The will struggle on ice, and tracks slow down the speed the Argo will "swim" in deep water. Since i rarely encounter these conditions, this isn't a problem for me.
If I can answer any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks!
