Re: Snow Machine Tracks

Hey, with experience from the one of worst snowbelts inside the snowbelt(Buffalo beats us), you don't need tracks, and considering your resources would be better off without them.** In my opinion**. I also think treads look cool however. Here's the dealio. We own a snowblower with heavily treaded wheels that have navigated the deepest snow with relative ease. They are a heavy tread (3/4" knobs) but they would be far easier to turn, cheaper to obtain, easier to implement, be capable of a higher rate of speed, and be easier to maintenance than a comparable tread system. And as it is, you said that the trails would be packed, so it shouldn't be a problem.


<< Similar to this. You can get lots of different treads, and their pretty cheap too, considering a track.
