Pics of my 1000. Mattracks on it. And a pic to show how good tires are on snow. lol.

Looks like when you hit a hole your screwed, tracks or no tracks.

New 1500XD and first set of tracks since 20 years ago
Just received and installed 2 sets of Mattracks ZRX, 6500 GVW. Very impressive and worked well. Using them to work a job site at a ski resort where there are a lot of UTVs running various tracks. Most everyone, running cheaper tracks, talks about ongoing issues, bearings, wheels falling off, etc. Hope the HD mattracks hold up.
25k each including shipping and added fee to expedite our order (1 week), Mattracks was very knowledgable and responsive.
The EX HD are much cheaper, 5500 GVW, but dont have "suspension" which is just a rubber filled torsion tube attached to the track bar.
Only complaint at this point would be that the hub adapters and brackets have to be removed to put the wheels back on.

I’d never buy their stuff again. I had them on my 1000. Nothing but problems. Tracks rubber separating. Bent axles. Bearing failures.

Not much snow to groom but I rolled a little. I'm shocked how much tighter the XD1500 turns with SVI Duratracks vs my XP1000 with Camso 4S1 UTV tracks. In thin snow cover (like right now) the Camso tracks used to not steer as well - I suspect due to the longer rear tracks "pushing" forward. The Duratracks so far have the same or better grip it seems (deeper lugs, makes sense given the snow cover) but also don't "push" in corners. I'm eager to see how it runs in real snow conditions and if it has enough floatation in 3' of untracked powder (happens every few years - a big storm). We're expecting 1-2" of rain the next few days so I expect we'll lose what little snow we have. If only it was 10 degrees colder....

Like I said before I have zero need for tracks, that said they are just plain cool and the right tool for the job if you do. The tracks are awesome and since they are on a "Red" Ranger it has to be the fastest machine on the trail. Thanks for the photos and keep them coming.

I am the same as Big Red but this is a cool thread to follow

Trip across the border Monday. Tracks are ready for pickup.

 

[Big Red]

SWEET!! Can't wait to see what you think of them.

Hello all, new to forum. I just completed my installation of Duratracks. I agree with Adk above on the install. I did it alone in about 7hrs. Yes thats a long time but I had never installed tracks for the first time on a machine. Always initially installed at the dealer. I, too, will be using the rig for grooming and Ice Fishing. Rig probably weighs 3500 loaded with gear and two people, so need close to a foot of Ice to feel safe. I will post some more pics of it in action.

 

[oneal]

Sure does look awesome, looking forward to the action pictures

That is badass.

Took her out tonight for a Break-In. I put the magnesium in the tracks and took her on a paved road for about two miles. About 1/2 mile into it, I got an acrid rubber-burning smell. I stopped and inspected all four tracks, felt no hot spots, and kept going. I called Steve at SVI for advice when I returned to the house. He said that is normal. The Hi-Fax on the center rail must undergo several heat-up and cool-down cycles. I am glad I called because I almost decided to yank them off.
I look forward to taking the rig to Lake in two weeks. Just waiting for this custom Ice fishing box to come in. There is a big 3-day fishing derby at the end of the month.

That is going to be one sweet set-up, to make it better it's on a RED machine and everyone here knows it's the "Fastest Color"

Actually, you and I may be the only ones aware

I've said it enough that I'm sure some members here are tired of hearing it. That's ok it's kinda "my thing" that keeps things interesting.

The red ones scare me. That makes three of us.

 

[Mr.C]

Looks awesome and fun. That box is cool! Could think of alot of uses for something like that.
