12" Rear Tracks on Polaris Ranger 6x6. Camoplast Traxion Plus Tracks on Front.
18" Width Rear Tracks as installed on Polaris Ranger 6x6
These tracks can provide extra mobility and flexibility in Wintertime snow and ice and the soft and muddy conditions encountered during Spring thaw and Summer rains.
These unique tracks convert a Utility Vehicle with dual rear axles (6x6 or 6x4) into a track driven machine. The unique design of these tracks allows them to flex with the movements of the axles, irrespective of whether those axles are fixed, independent, or swing arm.
These tracks provide additional traction and flotation when operating in snow and ice, sandy soils, or swampy conditions.
To get even more flotation and traction in snow you can convert the front axle to tracks.
When installing tracks it is necessary to provide additional clearance between the tracks and the shock absorber coil springs by installing wheel spacers, available at $300 for a set of four.
It should also be noted that due to their relatively light weight, flexible linkage design, and individually removable shoe pads, these tracks are very easy to install and remove, especially so after one initial installation and length adjustment.
Weight of the 18" tracks is approximately 300# per pair (150# each side) and 200# per pair (100# each side) for the 12" Nominal pattern. The tracks can easily be disassembled into lighter (shorter) segments for storage or transportation.
Pricing Terms: $1545/pair for the 12" nominal tracks and $1945/pair for the 18" wide super traction/super flotation tracks. $750 deposit. Balance due prior to shipping...usually about 2 weeks...depending upon production schedule.

Flotation in 18"-24" snow

Further up the road in the powder with the snow machines, where wheels just will not go. Here the snow was about 18" deep and the tracks allowed the Ranger to float up on about 12" of it.
Here is what the Ranger looked like after coming out of the muddy area illustrated earlier. Even with mud almost up to the floorboards, the tracks got the equipment through. If I had had tires, I would still be out there in the mud.
