There seems to be a big difference in both price and design between the tracks offered by RI and the ones available from Tru Trax. Anybody out there have any experience with either system?

Tru-trax yes. They are identical to the narrow Argo tracks, with one exception, stainless steel pins as opposed to the Argo mild steel. Good all around performance, although if you spin them in powder and remove the snow under your tread you will bottom out. I assume this would be applicable to any track though. I have loaded my machine up hunting, loaded deer on the hood and had no problems through 42" deep snow.

Kevin thanks for the track info. I want a 6x6 or 8x8 for hunting and just general playing around with the kids. I thought if I had tracks on my machine that I would have far fewer flats and better traction under most conditions. I do not plan on crossing a lot of rivers or lakes so the track performance in the H2O does not really concern me much(maybe I could pack a set of oars or a small sail just in case haha). What do you think does the most damage to the yard,tracks or rawhideIIIs?

You can easily avoid tearing up your yard by simply not locking one side when you turn. Turn it like you would a car instead of just turning 90 degrees and dragging the tires.
