Track Conversion Kit For ATV's FARM HOME recreation 25-6-28 A company that's well known for its rubber track conversions of pickups and other vehicles recently introduced tracks designed for 4-wheeler ATV's.
Mattracks of Karlstad, Minn., says its ATV conversion kit features a patented linkage system and a new shape-changing suspension. Each track weighs about 100 lbs. Installation takes only about 45 minutes and requires very little, if any modification (some models require mud flaps to be trimmed). You bolt an adapter plate on in place of the wheels, then bolt the tracks onto the plate.
The tracks provide about 4 in. of extra clearance, yet actually lower the center of gravity, making your ATV more stable. The tracks make the ATV slightly wider than when it's equipped with wheels.
A company spokesman told FARM SHOW that the tracks gear the ATV's speed down by about one third.
The company is making a limited number of units at the present time. The pre-production price is $3,998.
