re: Pros and Cons of Tracks for SxS

Pro- you can drive it through anything and it will go anywhere.
Con- ground speed is reduced significantly. You’re going from a 24” tall tire to about a 12” diameter sprocket and speed is reduced proportionally.
Con- they are terribly unreliable if not maintained. Remember- SxS tracks were originally developed for snow use. They use snowmobile style bogie wheels. The bearings do not like muddy silty water. You MUST keep them clean to get any life out of them. If not, the cost of replacing all the bearings is almost the price of a whole set of tracks.
<- Not making any of this up- I have installed and used about 10 sets of Camso SxS tracks over the last 5 years.
