@atvtracks The ARGO has been out for several decades, I once saw 1 old Amphibious machine very similar having 6 wheels in a Trading post about 5-7 years ago being sold for $500 because the Drive chain broke,I am STILL kicking myself when I shouldve bought such an easy to fix chain drive problem with a $6,000 RV being sold so cheap-main problem there is that my area is a CITY with no way to drive those things legal without a trailer on local roads to go fishing-ARGO CAR MOD (Street legal) anyone?

look pretty puny to me

@OLDSCHOOLHHSEX About the treads adapter with a 4 or 5 foot LIFT SUSPENSION for the ARGO-without the Trial-and-Error height to see how much lift that ARGO would actually need for clearance on snowdrifts or snowbanks,I suggest an Adjustable height suspension,and where those treads are wide enough to tread /paddle water to propel the ARGO when in boat mode,either that or mount small outboard motor >:) dont underestimate those little outboard motors,beats paddleing back to the shore by hand

@atvtracks Thank you,thats where the Retro Engineering skill comes in, what if Tatou produced angled treads that would add 4 to 5 feet LIFT, from off the ground clearance? the new track chassis would be of 2 sets, Argo has 3 wheels on each side-Tatou could make a treaded chassis to adapt the 3 main rims with treads driver hubs,but the lift comes from the suspension built into that adapter set for each side.The Oringinal ARGO had no suspension that I could see,so the treads is a major improvement

@quincee33 Tatou seems to be the Best engineered *Multi-Brand Bolt on kit* so far having some bit angle at bottom wheels,but these are still not like what I had drawn in my drafting class many years ago,doesnt surprise me that few of those simple side view drawings of treaded vehicles from so many years ago from mid 1980's though mid 1990s got put into production,major difference is-All my designs was AMPHIBIOUS,if needed to fish from the lake,vehicles simply drove into the water to float

@OLDSCHOOLHHSEX i agree....i've seen some systems on Youtube that the front tracks are flat??? not too sure which company has them flat, but i think Apache has the front angled like snowmobile ski's.... do you know much about these systems? are Apache and Tatou the best ones?

what about brakes?
front and rear bottom end of those tracks could use more angle to have climbing clearance,real tanks treads are not short like the rest of these Tread ATV Mod companies- the more angled version at the bottom bogies would have much more clearance to go over logs and such

@OLDSCHOOLHHSEX great idea but they would sell for more then 3500.00,, argo makes one that floats but no ground clearance will get stuck in 1 foot of snow , gary

Arctic Cat's Tiger Trax System look a lot sturdier and look much better built

@O7ROADKING artic cat is made by soucy and is not a bad system,, it has a spring torsion arm like tatou on the front but a solid rubber torsion arm bracket on the rear that does not let the rear track roll over objects like tatou,, therefor you will loose traction,, this system was designed by soucey and this year they have the trek 3 with the new 14 inch rear wide track which will be available in august. also artic cat fits artic cat only,, tatou or trek 3 will fit all other machines .gary

What a Bull Shit Video!!! These suckers are hard to put on. Directions/pictures are terrible. You have to wing it. Video doesnt even show the mounts you have to put on. Just a royal PITA to mount. Lug nuts are very different reg/track system.The lug nuts on/off require 15 mm head, not 17mm standards. Mount kit missing some nuts/bolts and the mounting/engineering on Polaris Sportsman 800 left, in my opinion, weak areas and uneccessarily stressed. Hope they improve installation/mounting hardware.

@BigBearHuskyMusher , first time is tough,, now you are a pro,, you should try some of the tougher tracks by other manufacturers,, we do not even use instructions,,and i am sure you now do not,, as with all new learning process the first time is tough,, second time much easier,, ,, my first brake job took 6 hours i can now do it in 45 minutes,,
