Great video. I have those tracks on my Honda Pioneer 1000 I take them off in the spring and put them back on after hunting season. The machine will go through very deep snow as it rides on top well. Knock on wood I have had no issues, very important to have them adjusted properly. I ride 10 miles into my camp on mostly unpacked snow with a bunch of gear and towing a sled or ice shack. Machine has no problems. Good luck with yours. Remember the saying. Take care of your equipment and your equipment will take care of you!
So fun , Thank You . several years ago my dad and I went for a ride with my uncle in his tracked Ranger . I was really surprised at what we went through
Hey Stan day was great we are had a great day here in Jersey and now I just got done dinner we had leftovers today and I had the leftover steak and chicken and we picked up some sides from Boston market pretty good I do have to say I don’t know three lawns tomorrow and then I’m off for the weekend and the next week that I go back and mow either Thursday or Friday my clients away on business so I have to take pictures to make sure I didn’t get paid taking pictures is very important in our line of work to make sure that we do get paid. I was at Walmart today, they have the hart version of the extendable ratchet, it looked really nice, and had a big grip to. And it really felt good and light balanced in the hand.it was like 15 bucks but if it felt quality like that then I don’t mind getting it. Oh and for this upcoming fathers day, we got my dad this really nice mug and its able to clip to his belt so when he is out working, he just has to clip it to his belt and he has water on the go. The good year compressor he loved. The first thing he used it on was his run, making sure all the pressure in the tires met the norm. I do so find love reading your posts on Instagram. They are truly amazing. Anyways Stan, great chatting, you have a great night. Finish the week out strong. God bless and go get em. You’re pal and good friend, Alexander costa
Thats pretty cool that your dad liked that air compressor. I know you gave it to him early-sounds like that was a good call. We are having a heat wave here in Minnesota. In the 90's. I actually like it. Those Hart tools are good for the money. Seems like an affordable option. If you buy it let me know what you think of them. Stay cool and safe on your lawns next week! have a great night Alexander. Your pal Stan.
He's right on. Loose 10 mph, fatter foot print so they float higher, big appetite for fuel and awesome in snow. Be sure to keep moving if you go into a creek or anything wet so you don't freeze them up. Good video!
So, the guy who invented Mattracks, it's been a long time but I've met his brother and sister in law who own Central Boiler. Super nice people. Mattracks exists because of a kids drawing. The Central Boiler guy bought like the whole company Mattracks remote control trucks when RadioShack came out with them. I took the order! Mattracks are awesome.
Well Stan, what you will find is that by adding the tracks, you will be able to get it stuck in even a worse place than before. At least that is what I have found every time I upgrade my rides, I just end up getting into even worse stuff😉😏
@@Hi-Tech-Ray if you only want to go the same distance yes. If you want to go farther than no. You'll get farther. Hence getting stuck in worse. Because the vehicle is better and more capable.
By far, the main reason why tracks tear up turn is that with only one exception (the Polaris 'turf mode' option), the two rear tracks ALWAYS turn at the same speed. The result is that turning is achieved via. skid steering. Even the front tracks have to fight the rear's attempt to continue in a straight line. The Polaris turf mode is a bastard 'solution'. First, you have to select 2 wheel drive. When you select turf mode, it DISENGAGES one of the rear axles (either left or right, forget which) from the driveline. So while you have all the wheels able to rotate at whatever speed eases your attempt to turn, you are limited to ONE WHEEL DRIVE. All 'utility' ATVs and UTVs have a differential in the front. But all of them, including the few Polaris models with turf mode, do NOT have a differential in the rear (although many people erroneously call it one). Instead, what they have is a spool (i.e. a ring and pinion gear), with both axles directly coupled to the ring gear. By definition, a DIFFERENTial allows the left and right wheels to travel a DIFFERENT speeds. This is usually achieved via. a set of spider gears acting as an intermediary between the ring gear and the output shafts going to the left and right wheels. Hopefully someday, ATVs and UTVs will follow standard practice in cars and trucks by having differentials in the rear, and include a selector button for a locking differential. By choosing the locking differential, its function will emulate the spool that people currently always encounter when driving ATVs and UTVs. But for now, both for cost and size savings, as well as safety on a short wheelbase, primarily off road driven vehicle, they stick with a spool at the rear. P.S. I have both Camoplast (acquired by Camso) and Mattracks for use on ATVs (not UTVs). The Mattracks are much beefier. But they also weigh almost twice as much. The Camoplast have worked fine and collectively weigh about 240 pounds less, which is a big deal.
Interested how they hold up. The Kenso’s are more of a recreational track, while the Mattracks are a utility track. I have the Mattracks on my Ranger, they’re awesome.
When you were playing with the "Stick Dozer" I miss read Infinity as Insanity for the music title. Definitely need to put some hydraulic ram limiter spacers come winter to keep the plow from hitting your track while working so if you catch something while pushing snow it wont kill the "toy"
@@Dirtmonkey smile.amazon.com/dp/B000UVQTI6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_AT6HFDTGKXPBRJAGFJFC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Found these on amazon to give you an idea
Nice Stan! I also had my fair share of Fun in the mud this last few days. I started my first pod extension in the 200el. Got 58 hours on it so far. Have a good one man!
i like this mechanic. dude tells you no bullshit the way it is. not trying to sell you on something or blow smoke up your skirt. dudes a straight shooter. i dig it.
Stan, you should be able to get a plow extentions. warn moose etc most of the 3rd party plows have track plow extention pieces. i dont know if the oem polaris plows will have plow extentions for use with tracks
@@Dirtmonkey yeah no problem dude, like warns normal plow say it like yours, then they make an extention for those with tracks, adds like 2- 3 feet in length to the plow. bolts to there the pivot is, then extends it out and relocates the pivot
@@Dirtmonkey also Matt tracks for full size trucks last I checked years ago started at like 50 grand..... so I wouldn't be aupprised if the UTV ones were 12-18k
so polaris does make one@@Dirtmonkey , I havent checked the fitment on this one. but they should have one to fit yours atv.polaris.com/en-us/shop/accessories/plows/2879719/
I've thought about a set of tracks too. If I can be honest with myself though, it's 90% aesthetics for me. Love how they look! Keep us posted through snow season.
Very interesting the tracks made that machine a beast in the muck but a monster on regular lawn if your not careful. Overall a good upgrade if you actually need them.
Put a Bercomac blower on that beast! I’ve been running Camsos for seven years. It is stunning where they’ll go, super steel climbs and sidehills where a wheeled vehicle can’t even think of going. A few choice spare parts and tools, along with your choice of a way to lift the rig for repairs, you’re good to go anywhere. I suggest a few spare bogey wheels and four spare heim anti rotation bar ends.
Hey Stan you will greatly enjoy these tracks I own a set they are ten years old I have been running them on my ranger 800 crew and I put them through tough work from mud to snow ice dirt and dry pavement I have only had to replace the drive sprockets once this last year. Mine are the flat track pattern they don’t have the curved center as yours do, mine have roughly 1500 hours on them and the treads are sill in good condition
Get an extension kit for your plow. They have them designed for when you put tracks on a UTV or ATV. It extends it out so you can get your full angle without hitting the tracks. And I see you have a Polaris plow, so shouldn't be a problem.
We use that brand of tracks on Polaris sportsman 850 and now on our new sportsman 1000 up here in Saskatchewan Canada for pullin floating pumps into sloughs every spring never any trouble as long as you keep up on the track tension and in the cold Canadian winters never broke an idler but have worn them out
Been running casmo or as I know them as camoplast 4s tracks for about 13 years on my previous quad bike a Polaris sportsman 800 with no problems at all pushing snow, mountains of it. You will be able to keep piling the snow up as high as you want. I now have a sportsman xp 1000 and got the install kit for the same tracks to go on. I had the tracks gone through and a few bearings were replaced needed to be replaced but have many many hours on them.
Nice setup Stan. Better be careful with that swamp, the DNR may not like that. We had a few cases here in my county that the owner were fined for muddy in their swamp, one guy had to restore all the damage he did
I’m starting a go fund me for you to get you a small tractor lol. I use my snow plow in the summer to move dirt with my garden tractor great video keep them coming
may be a half track setup may get the best of both maneuverability and traction but 2 different final drives may be a slight problem if you use 4x4 on hard dry pavement
The benefits of having tracks are traction, good look and maybe a lower center of gravity. The bad points are steering, speed, fuel consumption, weight. I had to put an oil cooler on my quad. I also broke a-arm mount.
Hay great video again stan, but maybe in the end of the videos were you do the thanks and thumbs up bits maybe one day you could say thanks to us guys in the uk who watch all your videos and some of us really wish we could live in the good old USA. Thanks again stan.
i have the same tracks on my 2015 Sportman 570. They go everywhere, the wheels are durable i have never broke one. i have driven over logs stumps etc at -20. Don’t let frankie drive it in a muddy swamp. We have hunting land up in your neck of the woods, they logged off a ash forest and it now a big cattail swamp. Last winter i drove around it the cattails where higher than my waste and snow. ground was frozen it went thru it like nothing was there. i forgot to video it. watch out for logs the front tracks will typically climb over the rears are not up turned as much and may try to go under the log not good.
We use a Ranger on Camso tracks for grooming trails. Wheels could never go were tracks can. We use them in winter only. We also have a Nissan on Mattracks. Those were 4 times the cost of the Camso tracks, not twice.
I have these on a RZR 570 and love them in the snow. Usually just stick with tires in the summer. Should work well in swamp, I just prefer not to lose the speed and turning radius during summer.
Wow can't wait to see how it does in snow and ice also 2 questions do you have to take all extra parts off when you switch back and forth tires and tracks also did your camera that fell off the plow survive or did you lose it the brush lol
@@Dirtmonkey Mine only have that big plastic drive cog that bolts to ATV Hub. After 6 winters, no issues with the big plastic drive cog. Mine don't have any like the ones you had doubts on. I've still got the idler wheels with sealed bearings like yours.
Have you watched Andrew camaratas video on the same topic? Enjoyed watching your video looking forward to seeing it in the snow at the cabin this winter
We have the same track system on our Search and Rescue Side x Side. The plastic rollers do not last. These tracks are designed for Snow only. Never take them into mud and don't get a rock in the rollers or your walking home instantly as it breaks the rollers and bends the tensioning system. The steering tie rods bend very easily with tracks on the front end.
I found something interesting on my own, if you are getting stuck pushing snow in 4 wheel drive, you might want to check your wheel alignment first as some of these UTV side by sides come out of the box and even delivered by the dealers with faulty alignments to begin with! Poor alignment will prematurely ruin your wheel bearings and 4 wheel drive will not work properly. How could your 4 wheel drive work when all four wheels are not pointing towards the right direction?
We’ve ran these 4 years now in the harshest environments you can imagine been solid both on the UTV and ATV mattracks not impressed with our big quad trac 620 uses camso tracks there’s a reason they are the best !!
Can you adjust the stops for the angle on the plow. I don't know about you but hired help don't seem to be as mindful of potential damage that can happen if you don't take care. They don't have to flip the bill to fix things.
Stan expensive upgrade I’m wondering if they had a flotation tire option I guess you know you had two different video’s tonight the Gravely and the wall and drainage video at your cabin on utube
Hi Stan I think you should do a burn off get rid of that dead long grass and those sticks etc too. Will be good clears out all the crap and allows new stuff to come through and grow.
those tracks do great in snow not so great with ice under the snow though, they can be studded. I had them on a RZR for plowing did great and they can climb up the snow bank to push the snow back further making a ramp.
Just out of curiosity - what size is the trailer you are pulling in this video? The red trailer with the trimmer rack. This will help me very much in the future.
You're going to have to buy a kit to add to your snow plow that allows you to have tracks there should be an add-on piece that allows you to do that to extend it out possibly from Wisconsin
You have to be pretty committed to using it for work with a $5k price tag. Most ATV Trail systems won't let you run tracks do to damaging ground. Sure looks like fun though.
@@Dirtmonkey would be nice to get an update review when there is snow on the ground, like to see if it would put more torque to the ground or if they just rob power and speed. And turning to get the Polaris back in its parking place is bad enough at my place on warm dry pavement, adding snow and ice is going to add to the difficulty I’m certain
I think you were misled on the price of Mattracks. The M3 line is about double the price of the Camso. The EZ or XT models are similar price. Our snowmobile club has tried both and the Camso's just don't hold up. We've had great success with all the Mattracks we've had. I hope you have better luck than we've had.
You need to push the blade forward 4 to 6 inches. That would help greatly with clearance without changing the center of gravity much. Make it so the operator does not need to think about clearance when running snow. How am I doing? I'm home after just totaling my car driving home from work two days ago. On the mend from viral meningitis a year ago, but the virus that caused it is coming back and I'm still dealing with side effects from either the infection or the 105+ fever for 6 days. It's not looking good as a large number of case studies that had this virus (EBV) come back only had a 9 month survivability. I have a gofundme going to raise money for an experimental treatment, but being a nobody, I can't get much raised.
I've been running these sets for the last 11 years. Great product. Be prepared to change bogey wheels out on year 4. Great product!

There is also Soucy Track that was one of the first manufacturer of those tracks. Manufactured in the province of Quebec in Canada.
Very interesting the tracks made that machine a beast in the muck but a monster on regular lawn if your not careful. Overall a good upgrade if you actually need them.
Stan having fun with big boy toys is always good to see. What you sacrifice in speed you gain in traction I suppose.
you do but its a big drop in speed. top speed is about 22-25mph now
Put a Bercomac blower on that beast!
I’ve been running Camsos for seven years. It is stunning where they’ll go, super steel climbs and sidehills where a wheeled vehicle can’t even think of going.

You can get extensions off your mounting bracket for your plow so it does not rub hopefully I could help
Love the 360 cam on top of the truck it makes a really cool shot
I installed alot of them on atvs and utvs and the cold doesn't hurt the plastic wheels. I had farmers use them in frozen cow poop and pasture land.
Greetings from Europe, Estonia. Nice videos!

Stan breaks stuff
Also stan "isnt that why its called break in period?"
I have these on a RZR 570 and love them in the snow. Usually just stick with tires in the summer. Should work well in swamp, I just prefer not to lose the speed and turning radius during summer.
I would be be to comfortable either on plastic idlers that run the tracks I’ll be interested in what you put her through
Im not a fan of plastic on wear parts like that
thats why there the cheapest.....
Wow can't wait to see how it does in snow and ice also 2 questions do you have to take all extra parts off when you switch back and forth tires and tracks also did your camera that fell off the plow survive or did you lose it the brush lol
Those tracks are pretty impressive. Big test will be this winter!
I think so too!
Gonna look pretty sweet ripping through the snow
Nice purchase on the tracks. Is it winter yet? Want to see how they work out for you.
I know I like my Kimpex ATV tracks on my Suzuki King Quad.
How are those tracks? Well built or do they also have plastic parts like my tracks?
@@Dirtmonkey Mine only have that big plastic drive cog that bolts to ATV Hub. After 6 winters, no issues with the big plastic drive cog. Mine don't have any like the ones you had doubts on. I've still got the idler wheels with sealed bearings like yours.

Right on
Have you watched Andrew camaratas video on the same topic? Enjoyed watching your video looking forward to seeing it in the snow at the cabin this winter
I have.
We have the same track system on our Search and Rescue Side x Side.
The plastic rollers do not last. These tracks are designed for Snow only. Never take them into mud and don't get a rock in the rollers or your walking home instantly as it breaks the rollers and bends the tensioning system.
The steering tie rods bend very easily with tracks on the front end.
I thought this system seemed cheap and plasticy.
Looks cool and mud doesn`t stop it. Might have to add some weight to it to push heavy snow.
Yeah for sure
Loving the new look .
😊👍
I found something interesting on my own, if you are getting stuck pushing snow in 4 wheel drive, you might want to check your wheel alignment first as some of these UTV side by sides come out of the box and even delivered by the dealers with faulty alignments to begin with! Poor alignment will prematurely ruin your wheel bearings and 4 wheel drive will not work properly. How could your 4 wheel drive work when all four wheels are not pointing towards the right direction?
That was interesting to watch, thanks Stan
I’m glad! Thanks for bein here 👊
My boss has a set of those tracks on his Polaris general! It definitely takes the abuse in the winter and we haven't had any issues with those wheels!
Should be able to get longer push bars for the plow when using a plow with tracks.
Sweet, hope they hold up over time.
👍
I like the paint and look of the gravely. Was that a gopro casualty just before 24:00
We’ve ran these 4 years now in the harshest environments you can imagine been solid both on the UTV and ATV mattracks not impressed with our big quad trac 620 uses camso tracks there’s a reason they are the best !!
When you want to beat the hell out of your equipment, call Stan 🤣
Ill do it for free and pay my own way to get there if its a cool enough piece of equipment I get to wreck😂
You should let the sidewalk guy use that!! I bet you he would love that in the snow!!!
I would but he is very happy with his ATV
Can you adjust the stops for the angle on the plow. I don't know about you but hired help don't seem to be as mindful of potential damage that can happen if you don't take care. They don't have to flip the bill to fix things.
Stan expensive upgrade I’m wondering if they had a flotation tire option I guess you know you had two different video’s tonight the Gravely and the wall and drainage video at your cabin on utube
I think flotation tires would be a better option than tracks.
Hi Stan I think you should do a burn off get rid of that dead long grass and those sticks etc too. Will be good clears out all the crap and allows new stuff to come through and grow.
i wonder if there's an upgrade to metal or aluminum for the plastic wheels. those have to be bad ass in the snow.
I wonder if Mattracks has plastic parts?
those tracks do great in snow not so great with ice under the snow though, they can be studded. I had them on a RZR for plowing did great and they can climb up the snow bank to push the snow back further making a ramp.
Be able to take that up north in the winter to cut wood, and get Zach out 😂 Will be great for the snow now
Thats the plan
Good evening, doing great, thank you for sharing
Thanks for tuning in. Much appreciated and I hope you enjoyed it.
Matt traxx are amazing. I rode a four wheeler with on it this winter.
It will be a blast to try them out this winter
Nice one Stan 👍👍🏴🏴
Thanks Tony 👍👊
Stan: you know how many things you can do this
Me : how can I convince my wife to let me get it 😂😂😂
That was exactly how it went in my head
Just out of curiosity - what size is the trailer you are pulling in this video? The red trailer with the trimmer rack. This will help me very much in the future.
20'
can't wait for snow video!
Coming!!
Wow two videos at once?!?
nope- That second video came down. That one is scheduled for next Week- sorry for the confusion!
@@Dirtmonkey figured as much haha!! Keep up the great content!
@@Dirtmonkey but we already saw it...
You're going to have to buy a kit to add to your snow plow that allows you to have tracks there should be an add-on piece that allows you to do that to extend it out possibly from Wisconsin
Another enjoyable video. Thanks
Appreciate it 😊
Another good video Stanley
God Bless
Wow that looks like a lot of fun good luck be careful
They sure do float better than I thought they would!
You have to be pretty committed to using it for work with a $5k price tag. Most ATV Trail systems won't let you run tracks do to damaging ground. Sure looks like fun though.
Gotta disable that reverse alarm then get a scoop plow for snow like that hiniker you loved so much that will fix your angling problem most likely.
That thing rips right through the swamp!
Yeah- kind of a to me. I thought it would be better but I didn't guess that good
Keep up the great work! Have a great day!
Thanks! You too!
Think I might add tracks to my Polaris sportsman now, should be more fun in the snow as well.
so far I am on the fence about these. they rob power, cut speed and make turning tougher.
@@Dirtmonkey would be nice to get an update review when there is snow on the ground, like to see if it would put more torque to the ground or if they just rob power and speed. And turning to get the Polaris back in its parking place is bad enough at my place on warm dry pavement, adding snow and ice is going to add to the difficulty I’m certain
Badass! Take this up a 90 degree mountain side!
I wonder how steep this could climb before it lacks power
I think you were misled on the price of Mattracks. The M3 line is about double the price of the Camso. The EZ or XT models are similar price. Our snowmobile club has tried both and the Camso's just don't hold up. We've had great success with all the Mattracks we've had. I hope you have better luck than we've had.
Stan, love those new tax on yur Gravely 4x4. Now show us some projects that it/they can do! Gotta earn its keep,aye?👍😊
That's the plan!
You need to push the blade forward 4 to 6 inches. That would help greatly with clearance without changing the center of gravity much. Make it so the operator does not need to think about clearance when running snow.
How am I doing? I'm home after just totaling my car driving home from work two days ago. On the mend from viral meningitis a year ago, but the virus that caused it is coming back and I'm still dealing with side effects from either the infection or the 105+ fever for 6 days. It's not looking good as a large number of case studies that had this virus (EBV) come back only had a 9 month survivability. I have a gofundme going to raise money for an experimental treatment, but being a nobody, I can't get much raised.
