escargo track vs adair track

[smog]

About to pull the pin on a set of 18" Adairs+spacers for 3980$ ... ouch! plus an estimated shipping to Ontario for 550$ ..double ouch! After paying 26800 for a new HDi ...divorce incoming ouch!

Just waiting on Tim to requote me on the cost to ship them pre built, just to see the difference.

if you are less than 2 hours from the border, go get them on the US side and you will just pay the TPS crossing back in Canada.

Shipping within US is ridiculously low so you will also save there.

And if you still get the tracks delivered in Ontario, be ready to pay the transporter a hefty brokerage fee over the TPS tax rate.

The Adair tracks are a lot lighter than the Escargo tracks. In this video you can see that the Argo 8x8 with Adair tracks is faster driving backwards than the Argo 8x8 with Escargo tracks is driving forwards.

In catails and swamp reeds the Argo 8x8 with Adair tracks runs off and leaves the Argo 8x8 with Escargo tracks.

Yes, people have gone in the same hole with those two pairs of tracks competing. You can search mudbug's posts on that exact topic. It was sort of a blowout.

ask for the total installed weight of the escargo tracks versus the adair, you'll get the point.

A guy in Quebec ordered from Adair and had the tracks delivered to his home.

BUT if you want to save a bunch on various fees, get the tracks delivered in your name but with freeport forwarding address just 300 feet south of the border in Lacolle/Champlain

Freeport forwarding

that's what I do. I even had the 2008 Max IV AATV delivered there.

I know that there are post on adair tracks. They seem very good. But did anybody ever tried the escargo track in the same hole and then the adair track.
I don't see any adair track dealer here in Québec. The escargo track dealer is only 2 hours drive from home so I'd like to know the difference. Do they compare?
Does anybody know where to find adair track in ontario or québec in canada?
