Best pair of tracks for polaris ranger 400

Ran tracks on a Rhino a few years back and while top speed was reduced, it wasn't sluggish, IMO. Went through a ton of snow and over snow banks above my waist. The tracks really kept it up on top.

Same with my 700

Was at a sportshow in Oregon last week and saw a different type of track set up, google 4orce tracked vehicles. They looked fairly simple and was told you loose no power or speed and they hold up very well, (tens of thousands of miles). They have been around for many years in use in this country by wildland fire crews, check them out.

tatou 4s tracks, sure with the 400 you will loose some top end speed and in the higher gears you will not have the power that you once had with tires but they do fine. my brother is a linemen here in the midwest around he loss hills and have areas of lines that during the winter not a truck can get to and they had a demo honda 400 or 450 can't remember for sure that had a set on and loved them. Again not fast but plenty of power getting the equipment and the men to the area cause it stayed on top of everything, plus they played with it some after the work was done and he was very impressed with the climbing ablity it had. The actually ended up buying one. The more power you have the happier you will be cause you are used to tires and a bit more speed. good luck

The company I work for has a pile of these for both Rangers and Honda Big Red UTVs. The are awesome of course you loose speed but putting tracks on are not ment for speed. A 400 will be just fine. The polaris prospector tracks are heavier than the camoplast tatou that we have on the hondas and the camoplast seem to go betterh through deep snow. We actually do have track on a ranch 350 and it works awesome.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
