Keith, I am totally impressed that you can point that Max in any direction and move through 20 inches of snow without the slightest indication of a traction issue, very impressive indeed.

That was a great video in the snow. I am going to order my Max kit around the 15 of January. Then it's off to my brother inlaws heated garage for install. (Chomping at the bit)!!!!!!!!!

I like that you were able to carry some speed with those tracks even in the snow. Nice work.

Adair tracks in snow

Here is a video I took Christmas morning. I taped the camera to the windshield and took a 15 min ride around the property. If you have a sound system on your computer, turn it up and it will give you and idea of how the exhaust sounds and the kind of RPM the engine is turning to get me around in the snow. I had to stay out of most of the woods as the heavy snow has a lot of trees bent over and the branches like to grab and rip my top.

I am finding the snow also likes to wisp in the back and get the belt wet. Under heavy loads you can here it chrip a bit but if I back out and hit it again it seems to bite hard again. I think the isolation mounts are flexing too much also and allowing the engine stand to flex enough to cause the belt to go out of alignment. I have new mounts that Mark suggested just waiting for the next time I pull the engine to install them. Hope it shows the different type of terrain and obsticles I can cover with the Adair tracks.

Enjoy, Keith.

Great video are you running extra bearings and cages or just straight tracks?

[kghills]

My Max was a factory tracked machine originally so it has the bearing extensions and bearing support rail and wheel spacers. With my larger 25" tires and 18.5" wide tracks and 4" wheel spacers I still use the support bar. Adair sells a kit for the Max IV that needs none of the extra hardware and sits just a touch lower. It is a great option for you if your machine did not come equipped with all the extra support pieces and will get you farther in any terrain than the factory rubber tracks in my opinion and costs less than the factory rubber tracks.

Now that looks really cool

The problem with all these track ideas from Adair is that I want to try them all. Might need another job......... Or I guess I could put the wife back to work

Any more pics available?

Make your wife work how cruel, that's a decision that she has to make, guess I would approach it like we wont be able to afford luxury VACAA,S like we just had unless some more cash comes in,that puts the ball in her court, doesn't work for me the significant other loves winter and spending time with her equines warm weather vacations mean nothing to her.On a side note RD them are some fine looking tracks and I have the duel setup so a big part of the expense solved and with the sale of my Argo tracks this may be in the budget this year,I only use them in the winter to access my cabin and when we move latter this year we can ride the Argo from our backyard to the cabin 10 ish miles or so by land or half of that by lake.Cheers NCT

I know those are snow and ice tracks, but I just can help but look at them and think how good they would be in swamps and Boggs. Man those tracks would eat fallen trees. With that big foot print you could run low PSI, an 8x8 with that set up would ride like marshmallow, hey they would float on the mud, you would stay on top of everything,
Rock Doc, JCT, hummmmmmmmmmm?????? Hummmmm??




Hey by the way, that is a 650 frontier those tracks are sitting on, that makes them and it even more impressive.

Great video Keith....your back yard is beautiful covered in all that snow...loved the part where you were picking your way through the snow covered brush...looks like you've put quite a few miles on the max already this winter! Thanks for sharing your fun with us :-)
