- Dennis, you stole my words exactly!!! 😂😂😂. I have friends that have never crashed, but have some of the worst looking quads & SxSs!!! Tracks are the way to go. If you don’t have a sled and just want mobility & utility in the snow, then don’t buy a second machine. Depending on what you ride/drive there are Somme great kits out there. I have a 2015 Honda Pioneer 700 2 seater and am running tracks through the winter. They are nice for how they spread the weight around on the ice as well as snow. I had to screw in some studs for mine on the ice. I don’t worth them or the machine like Andrew does though 😂😂. Nobody does!! Haha. It has turned into a great ice fishing machine. I either use a tent for ice hut protection, but I also have a 6 x 12 trailer I use also and I haul the Pioneer in the trailer, then pull the trailer out onto the ice and leave my truck on shore. Andrew should have shut the quad down as soon as it broke,,,, he did sooo much more damage. Oh well, it’s his machine!! 😂😂. Stay safe this winter everyone, Eh!

I like the idea, but it leads to the questions, "Who can afford Indestructible? Is there a big enough market to make it worth the effort?" I think we have the answer in the way that every retailer demands made-down-to-the-price items from offshore sources. I'm not saying those sources are incapable of quality products, just that their customers (the retailers, and ultimately us) aren't willing to pay for it. Those tracks could have machined-from-billet titanium wheels at $5000 PER WHEEL but adding $120,000 to the price might seriously limit your customer base.

Depends on the kinda plastic. If it’s Delrin, then it’s pretty durable. Anything else and it’s going to fail from either heat, cold and stress. If they had used steel rollers, it would weigh to much and the gearing on the UTV would be even worse. Aluminum could work, but again, not super durable.

The cab looks like a great idea in places with snow. Tracks fitted to wheeled vehicles are always some level of problematic. If they are built strong they tend to break the vehicle - if not they just tend to break... For sure Andrew will find the limits of most things soon enough. Cheers from Oz - no snow to worry about in my part at least. Thanks for the vids.

@@AndrewCamarata Okay so my two cents for what its worth. There's a great British company called Moorend. They make tracks like this for articulated things like site dumpers and loaders (like Avants) and they're great. Because the vehicle articulates and doesn't 'steer' you're not trying to screw the tracks round which I guess is a good start. The track frames also bolt straight to the loaders chassis, meaning the original drive motor is now only used for turning the tracks and not baring any weight anymore. Great stuff. They're also made much stronger (greaseable metal rollers etc) because it's bolting to strong frame. I guess these utv tracks need to be lighter built, or if they were built to construction grade, you'd never turn the wheel because of the weight attached to them. I think these utv track would be good in super deep super soft fluffy snow only. But the whole things a bit of a nightmare, there's nothing strong enough on a utv to bolt to to make them major heavy duty, they need to consider weight when building them. The suspension makes the whole thing a bit rolly-polly (again something a dumper or loader doesn't have. I think tracks and utv's go together in specific circumstances but overall aren't a good combination. but check out Moorend tracks, they're great.

- Dennis, you stole my words exactly!!! 😂😂😂. I have friends that have never crashed, but have some of the worst looking quads & SxSs!!! Tracks are the way to go. If you don’t have a sled and just want mobility & utility in the snow, then don’t buy a second machine. Depending on what you ride/drive there are Somme great kits out there. I have a 2015 Honda Pioneer 700 2 seater and am running tracks through the winter. They are nice for how they spread the weight around on the ice as well as snow. I had to screw in some studs for mine on the ice. I don’t worth them or the machine like Andrew does though 😂😂. Nobody does!! Haha. It has turned into a great ice fishing machine. I either use a tent for ice hut protection, but I also have a 6 x 12 trailer I use also and I haul the Pioneer in the trailer, then pull the trailer out onto the ice and leave my truck on shore. Andrew should have shut the quad down as soon as it broke,,,, he did sooo much more damage. Oh well, it’s his machine!! 😂😂. Stay safe this winter everyone, Eh!

I like the idea, but it leads to the questions, "Who can afford Indestructible? Is there a big enough market to make it worth the effort?" I think we have the answer in the way that every retailer demands made-down-to-the-price items from offshore sources. I'm not saying those sources are incapable of quality products, just that their customers (the retailers, and ultimately us) aren't willing to pay for it. Those tracks could have machined-from-billet titanium wheels at $5000 PER WHEEL but adding $120,000 to the price might seriously limit your customer base.

Depends on the kinda plastic. If it’s Delrin, then it’s pretty durable. Anything else and it’s going to fail from either heat, cold and stress. If they had used steel rollers, it would weigh to much and the gearing on the UTV would be even worse. Aluminum could work, but again, not super durable.

Hammond replaced his road wheels with a similar track system. The difference was that he wasn't driving in snow. The running wheels were also plastic and they eventually broke. But the stresses that were placed on them were much greater.

Rather leave it with wheels on and buy a factory fitted track snow mobile instead Cody is just a born runner....he just kept going and going and going. The two of you are truly the same in spirit. Never a dull moment watching both of you'll doing what you both love....
I love that he is an absolute wrecking ball on equipment. Not for views or clickbait, just because that’s the way he is. It’s awesome.

looked like they were driving easy. I've seen people beat the snot out of theses
Great video 👍🏽 well worth carrying a standard wheel as a spare and if a track gives way again you have an option then of dropping a wheel on to help get you home.
I can't help thinking that it's pulling that branch cutting thing around that's caused extra loading and torque through those rear tracks that's broken it. Great entertainment as ever though, Cheers
BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! FOR ALL THE RUNNING YOUR DOG DOES ALL THE TIME HE HAS THE MOST ENERGY I HAVE EVER EVER EVER SEEN INNA DOG IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND I AM 50 LOLOL!!!! JUST SAYIN!!!! THANKS, F.M.V.
Beautiful view at your campsite. love to visit and see it
HEY ! Makes my day to see this video! Hell yeah!!
It's always something, isn't it. It's like they design it & never try it in real life. Have Fun, Be Safe. Full support, Jim
The cab looks like a great idea in places with snow. Tracks fitted to wheeled vehicles are always some level of problematic. If they are built strong they tend to break the vehicle - if not they just tend to break... For sure Andrew will find the limits of most things soon enough. Cheers from Oz - no snow to worry about in my part at least. Thanks for the vids.
Cody really loves you! great supervisor too!
Andrew tore up something. Man, that's a surprise.

Top quality content, it's great!
It's mind-boggling how much energy Cody has, unreal! I was thinking as you were installing them, that those brackets looked way too flimsy for the amount of leverage on the track.
👍👍👍👍👍 ✌ Cool Stuff Man ! I'm glad you beat up the manufacture on those tracks. I woke up depressed from a dream and hope you had a video and was so pleased to see one there Thanks for cheering me up.😃
I was interested in getting tracks for my RZR but decided against it. Most people running them either get super stuck, have the drive components break, twist the track frame, have a track constantly fall off or all of these things combined.

Its a shame because the idea is good. They just need to be built stronger.

@@AndrewCamarata Okay so my two cents for what its worth. There's a great British company called Moorend. They make tracks like this for articulated things like site dumpers and loaders (like Avants) and they're great. Because the vehicle articulates and doesn't 'steer' you're not trying to screw the tracks round which I guess is a good start. The track frames also bolt straight to the loaders chassis, meaning the original drive motor is now only used for turning the tracks and not baring any weight anymore. Great stuff. They're also made much stronger (greaseable metal rollers etc) because it's bolting to strong frame. I guess these utv tracks need to be lighter built, or if they were built to construction grade, you'd never turn the wheel because of the weight attached to them. I think these utv track would be good in super deep super soft fluffy snow only. But the whole things a bit of a nightmare, there's nothing strong enough on a utv to bolt to to make them major heavy duty, they need to consider weight when building them. The suspension makes the whole thing a bit rolly-polly (again something a dumper or loader doesn't have. I think tracks and utv's go together in specific circumstances but overall aren't a good combination. but check out Moorend tracks, they're great.

Good video Andrew. That’s a lot of money for those tracks, they need to be made of steel rollers. Nice to see the snow

That’s a cool rig dude! Looks like a lot of fun.
Look at what you do, it's never about what you have. Keepin it real is nice to see. More videos pls. Stay safe
