Tracks on a UTV

What's the part in the vise? Drive wheel? Is the shaft ruined?

I think I would use my needle greaser and inject the bearings with marine grease.....just me thinking.

Watching this guy bombing around the woods on a BCS fitted with tracks pulling a sled makes me want to outfit my walk behind. Maybe we could groom some of our two miles of trails for cross country skiing

$10 says that takes so much upper body strength to operate, after 2 miles, you'll not ski again.

Arly not everyone gets your snows. Don't you think that places where a dusting to a foot are the norm, that grooming these snows as they come would result in success for him at a very reasonable budget?

We know people who have got similar machines like seen below, to do here phat bike trails. They say steerage fatigue is the issue. Great on ice, bad in woods.

The walk behinds can be a bear or a pussycat depending on the circumstances. Riding along on established trails with gradual turns shouldn’t present too much of an issue. Wrestling my 853 over uneven ground brush hogging is a workout, not recommended if you don’t have the upper body strength. But on flat ground I can walk alongside and gently correct the steering with one hand and if I defeat the deadman safety switch the 853 will continue along on its own. Here is a video of the same guy pulling a flat sled showing him struggling some in the woods over uneven ground that I can relate to:

Here he is using his 853 with rubber tracks to pull a moldboard plow:

Operating a snow blower:

Here is another of him demonstrating his setup on a yard:

Here Joel at Earthtools.com showing the installation of tracks (cost about $1,500) on a walk behind:

I can relate, I've spent countless hours between the handles of a walk behind Gravley as a kid.

That's what I thought of. Had a Gravely PRO 12 with steering sulky. Given uneven terrain, those three handles would come down as much as two feet or so, in a fraction of a second and you better not have any part of your body in the way.
