Thats impressive radar,my thoughts are this each and every track design out there including some nicely executed home built such as Smog,s tracks have their advantages as well as their disadvantages,the key is to know what you are buying them to do and make a wise choice,for some people a cheap set of old Argo plastic tracks works for what they are doing I had a set for years,for others the use is more serious,as for the ability to climb out on ice you have to give it to them Escargo,s.great vid find thanks.N.C.T

I watched video 9 and in this video he climbs up on the edge ice where hit tracks will touch bottom. Any videos showing climbing up on floating ice?

I don't want to download all that unedited footage...

JohnF I have little doubt that with the grouser bar design that the machine could get itself up on ice,I dropped my old Magnum 8 wheeler thru years ago in over your head water with a set of Argo supertracks on,now the tracks were cleated with steel claws every other segment and with a great deal of fooling around managed to back the machine out of the hole and up on the ice,it wasnt easy but possible,given the Escargo heavy steel cleats I can not see any reason why it couldn't.JMO N.C.T

I agree with JohnF. It looks to me like a lot of mud coming off of the tracks from supposedly being in deep water. In one video they forgot to turn off the video camera and it looked like the camera man walked off of the edge of the ice and was then standing in 6-8" inches of water with a pretty solid bottom. Its pretty easy to tell when the machine is not floating because you still have some control while driving it. Any video that does not show the water up to the machine's rubber bumper line is not really floating. In one or two of the video's where the guy got too far from the icy shore line it looked like he was almost helplessly adrift. Big difference between that and the control he had when busting through the soft , rotting shore line. I also noticed that he had the wind blowing him towards the shore line, so as to push him into the ice in the event that he found himself in deep water and got swept away. Over all a very fun video to watch and the monster steel tracks are an improvement over tires. I'm not sure though that any track would help you climb back onto the ice if your machine fell through the ice in the middle of a deep lake.

Hey, not diss'n the tracks or anything, just was hoping to see it drive up on floating ice from a floating starting point and didn't want to have to watch all of those videos... And let'n folks know what was on video #9.
