I install Camso UTV Tracks. Then Swamp Test them. First Impressions GOOD & BAD about UTV tracks, how the quality compares to Mattracks and how the Pro's install tracks.
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"

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/
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.
would you plow commercial lots with that or just your driveway ? do you think it could be beneficial on that site parking lot site or im a moron lol love your videos man keep it up.
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.
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
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.
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.
Then you would bind the drivetrain with the front and back being two different ratios. Definitely not a good idea. What he needs is a push frame extension which pushes the plow out farther.
So the son not play with UTV not stop the father be a kid look need a snowplow for Tracks or modify or plow extention sticks is fire wooden TO GET THOSE TREES OUT IT EASY USE WINCH
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.
Good to see you here- you got a sneak peak at next weeks video due to a scheduling error. That was the other one that accidentially got released tonight.
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.
Those plastic bogey wheels wheels will be be fine have have seen these tracks take more abuse from ice fisherman than a guy could believe from them smashing into pressure ridges to getting stuck into slush and freezing completely. The man is right thought it's basically the same as a snowmobile and they have decades of use with the same material. Hell even the snowmobile drive sprockets are plastic now. And actually it's probably alot better than using anything else Because if they were metal if you were to hit something hard enough to break them the metal could bend in and you would continue to drive and end up wrecking the entire track then a guy would be out some money
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'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.
Hey stan. I was wondering how do you decide who gets shoutouts. I would be willing to feature you on my channel if you gave me a shout-out everyone once and a while. Just a thought. Also nice video
Plastic is plenty strong. Aside from slamming into a brick wall, There's nothing you're going to do that will break them. Plastic is better for several reasons. If you use it in the snow (not the dirt) the lubricity of the plastic is far better than steel. Also it will break if you do slam into the aforementioned wall, before more expensive things break. Plastic is not good in dirt applications because dirt embeds into the plastic and wears the more expensive track. It's common for people that don't have materials sciences backgrounds to think plastics are not strong enough, so don't feel bad.
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!
Am I the only one that seen the Gopro fall off at the 24 min mark ? And the funny thing is stan didn't even say anything. So how much damage did the tracks do to the gopro ?
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
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.
A good video; lots of good information. But, these are essentially snow tracks. So why do any kind of report when there is NO snow? Using this rig as a “stickdozer” is, no offense, ridiculous. ‘should have waited until winter.
@@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.
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
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?
I’m surprised you haven’t replaced every a-arm busing in that thing yet. Being it’s basically a Polaris I’m shocked they lasted the trailer ride home from the dealer. Next time get a Honda!
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.
Plastic idler wheels are fine, idler wheels are not load bearing. Look at bicycles, steel cogs but plastic idler wheels. Don't add to sprung weight unless you have a good reason
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.
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.
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.
Those front little plastic crumby wheels that are on those tracks aren't going to stand very much of that extra weight of that snow plow out on the front they're all going to crack the hell when winter comes you want to put a snow plow and tracks on that you're going to have to go to something heavier-duty than what those are in my opinion. I usually don't like to criticize but I made an exception this time due to those plastic Wheels Daniel little wheels I bet our plastic to they will not take the wax for weight of that plow
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.
Them tracks will go through way worse and much softer mud and muck then what you took it through in your swamp just so you know that was nothing for them tracks 👍 👍
I would probably keep my tires on in the summer and switch to my tracks for the winter..
Can't wait to see it in the snow and ice.
Me too
Me to- This winter could get fun!
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"
I have to find out what those are. I have not used them

nope- That second video came down. That one is scheduled for next Week- sorry for the confusion!

so far they are holding up but its still very early

Also stan "isnt that why its called break in period?"

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😂

did you lose that camera on the plow at 23:50 ?
almost. That one ended up buried in the sticks
Nice one Stan 👍👍🏴🏴
Thanks Tony 👍👊
7:16 plastic tires, like found on Big Wheels and other child toys. Like power wheels, you need to put a my buddy in your passenger seat now.
Yeah- those plastic idlers are not impressive
Mirrors flipped up. Dang he means business. All black Dodge Ram
When the mirrors are up I call that "moose horns"

True but its not the same
would you plow commercial lots with that or just your driveway ? do you think it could be beneficial on that site parking lot site or im a moron lol love your videos man keep it up.
Im not sure yet how well this will do this winter. I plan on trying it out and showing you guys from there

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.
Plastic wheels yea no thanks
agreed- kind of dissapointing right? You shouldn't pay $5,500 and get plastic fricking wheels
can't wait for snow video!
Coming!!
Plastic idler wheels are fine, idler wheels are not load bearing. Look at bicycles, steel cogs but plastic idler wheels. Don't add to sprung weight unless you have a good reason
something that cost $5k shouldn't have anything plastic in it just my opinion
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.
2:55 Never seen the inside of a V-Twin? Go to TH-cam Channel Tatro Machine and you will see a belly full. Harleys everywhere.
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.
Gotchu 👊👍
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.
5500 bucks man. I wonder how effective a half track UTV would be.
Those front little plastic crumby wheels that are on those tracks aren't going to stand very much of that extra weight of that snow plow out on the front they're all going to crack the hell when winter comes you want to put a snow plow and tracks on that you're going to have to go to something heavier-duty than what those are in my opinion. I usually don't like to criticize but I made an exception this time due to those plastic Wheels Daniel little wheels I bet our plastic to they will not take the wax for weight of that plow
After year or 2 of use....you will wish you bought mattracks. Lotta wear issues with Camsos
This looks like it's going to be rough on your steering system and wheel mounts. I'm curious to see how those wear in or if it's negligible.
The thing about buying overprise Chineseium garbage is that despite the low price, you usually end up with way less than you pay for.
you need a Japanese mini truck! check out Lucky's Mini Trucks on Facebook. he's not to far from you
There are drive on drive off track systems I like better, no installation needed
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.
yeah- he is a solid dude for sure.
Doing a job with the asv and snow plow what you should do with a skid steer.
Sounds like Andrew Camerata is driving it 😂
I'm retired, enjoy all of your videos.
Almost seems like the front tracks should be turn the other way. The directions don't lie I guess.
Them tracks will go through way worse and much softer mud and muck then what you took it through in your swamp just so you know that was nothing for them tracks 👍 👍
You can get extensions off your mounting bracket for your plow so it does not rub hopefully I could help
