thanks for the update dan . everything sounds like the machine is performing great ! would love to see a picture or short video with the tracks. i'm thinking of a set of those as half tracks . what size are the tires ? have you found they do much better than the adairs ? jboy

John after much tribulation I was finally able to post an unedited video, the tires are Argo 24 inch that work extremely well, the swim speed is only about 2 KPH measured by GPS, however I have a measured GPS 23 MPH top speed with the half tracks and i can drive the machine like a sports car with the half tracks without worrying about throwing a track

Nice video Dan. I sure like the looks of the tracks. I bet the half track concept will be the best of both worlds.

great video and they really don't stop....did you have to put larger tires on the rear to match the front tires with the tracks or just air them up more ? no chain windup problems ? jboy

No, works with all the same tire, edited version of the same video:

Dan: When you get a chance, please post some pics from the side profile. Gotta see how the half track concept fits the machine.

This is for you Noel; John Boy

i must say that is one bad looking machine dan. the tracks appear to be very aggresive . no stopping you in any conditions . it would seem they would be hard to throw off too. i bet it feels really cool riding in it . best machine you've had . it's a keeper ! maybe you could come to busco if it's really muddy in oct. thanks for taking the video . looks .more awesome than i imagined . jboy

Very nice machine. How was the heat coming from the firewall ? I spent a weekend driving a new Argo 6 without a hood fan and my lower legs got pretty hot. I’m surprised they don’t come standard with a fan and an insulated firewall. I liked everything else about it though.
