Would tracks on the front 4 tires work ok? It won't be as good as around all 6 tires but it must be better than none at all. I have an Attex & I don't want to move the muffler. So I figure tracks around the front 4 tires would be better than nothing. Any ideas?

Kush, shure give it a try, the toughest part of crosing logs for an example is just geting the center tires over,

i have the opportunity to purchase a 1983 8wheel argo for parts. the plastic body is in good shape but mechanically it looks very poor. there are nine rims with 7 tires looking better than 50%. also, the unit has a set of full tracks which are in good condition. the tracks do not say argo on the bottom of the link. i have a 89 magnum. will the tracks work on my argo? i am still using the smaller runamucks. i compared links to a half track set (poor condition)that i got with my machine. The non-owned tracks appear to have a smaller guides otherwise they look the same. Also...what might this old unit be worth??

This came up in another thread last winter i think, i just couldn't find it- we at one point were on the topic of half tracks and their advantages/disadvantages etc. Has anyone ever put tracks over the 2 middle wheeles on an 8x8 ARGO? I thought about it this weekend and was trying to weigh the options. In one way, it would create the AVENGER lift- (two middle wheeles slightly lower than corner tires) but at the same time, a lot of drag on those middle tires. I think it may also have traction problems but it doesn't really have to be in snow- im thinking mud, but in areas where having the full tracks on is to awkward to manover through the tight trees. Has any one tried this- if so, how did it work?

If I had the tracks on the middle tires, leaving the front and back tires un-tracked, would i still be able to climb up stuff, or would the tracks slip too much? I am not really interested in using it on the middle tires during the winter because i know i'll end up stuck for sure in some of the drifts I get up at the cottage. I need the full tracks (standard) in winter, don't get used much but about once or twice during the winter i may try the half tracks on just the front 2 rows of tires and see how it goes.

I know I probably wouldn't be able to go through really deep snow with just tracks on the middle tires but would it go through a couple feet of snow?

I think the front would be better than the middle David as that is where the weight is. You want to keep the skidplate from compressing down into the snow as that is when forward momentum ends. So, the front is the better choice, but it sounds like just as much work as putting the full track on.

lcater- ya, I thought that same thing too, better just stick to the full tracks, but I still would like to try a half track some time, the other thing i just thought about was the space between the tires, is their enough for the track to pass through?
