the reason the the tin cup tucker slid backwards is it was a ford towing it get a m1078 out of military surplus. I had 37 k in tow earlier this year on snowy roads no problem for my super singles and all wheel drive.
Nice pics, I've serviced a few radio sites too. I've found those tracked UTV's are almost useless in deep heavy snow.
A question for you Aaron -- on your instagram posting going to Granite Hot springs, your left side track (sounds like front, but could be back) has a click over the sprocket. Did you have a loose/missing link, or does that link need a bend to seat properly? It sounds like it's hitting the top of the tooth then snapping into the valley once it gets pressure.
