OTOH, I've never had tracks on it so maybe it works better than it sounds.


I had wondered about that. Talked with a manufacture rep (Camso) and asked about the Polaris system. I don't know exactly why, but apparently it is not an issue - especially in snow - maybe there is enough slip going on in snow pretty much all the time that it doesn't matter.

What you do loose with tracks is speed and gas mileage/range.
