You need to get rid of the straight tread recaps and put on snow or mud grip recaps for better traction.

@surrynet  Going to put cleats on them, this will help keep them on as well.

damn, that thing is long! how well does it steer? It must be hard to shift 2 trannys at the same time. Nice rig though!

[ShawnCFarm]

@Fearlessfront Steerss not to bad, but it seems to take some weight off the front end at times, then its hard to turn. I'm only running one trans, the other one can be put in gear to run anything you want. The next one I make I'm going to run chains from the front axle to the back so its 4x4

Your on to a decent idea...You just need skins with some tread on them>Cleats would be a god idea. If you get your belt wet though, you are hosed.. N o traction man.... Work in progress. You may end up with and Argo type design...

@scanneron670 A full hydraulic system would work wekk here but cost to much do right now.

@shorttman1968 So ture. I just replaced one on the lawn tractor that I cut grass with

[shorttman1968]

i would think of replacing that plastic pulley. My 12.5 HP Wizard riders pulley broke, they deteriorate real fast.

@WizzleThump Not sure if it was a deal or not as I've knowen this guy a long time. I'm not sure if Napa sells belts like that but will find out the next time. I didn't shop around lol
