What I have been told, they don't last that long. They are built cheap. Also, if you don't get the third bearing kit from RI, you will waste your bearings on the max. |

Not true. The Tru-Trax are very heavy duty and well built. I have a set (that I bought used) on my Argo Bigfoot and have never had a problem. The only drawback is that they really sap the horsepower from my machine. Another thing: if you dont plan on much ice crawling, don't get the cleats. The cleats caused my machine to dig itself into to snow and bottom out every time it started to slip a little. The object is to stay ON TOP of the snow. |

Thanks for the input. It's good to hear the different opinions about the Tru-Trax product. Tim, the messege above yours mentioned the track system taxing the bearings. Have you had any problems with your bearings after using the Tru-Trax on your Argo? If I purchase a set, I plan to use them during the winter and on snow only. |

Tim Iv'e got a Big Foot with the Argo supper tracks Which are about the same thing. On the advice of my dealer
I made snow cleats out of 1.5" x 1.5" angel and bolted on the out side of my tracks. What a difference. Took it out last week end in 3 foot of fresh powder that was pure sugar. No problem so you might give that a try. Tim |
