Should add :
Weigth is a consideration when tracking up, and there are a few options in that category.
All season tracks,,, or the winter only tracks.
If I was going to support more than 1000 to 1100 lbs plus,,, I'd be looking at the winter set since the unit will have more flotation,,, larger foot print in the snow.
The all season tracks on my Onda 420 work a bit better then the Green Cat unit,,, a 1/3 lighter as it stays on top of the crust instead of braking threw,,, of course there are advantages and disadvantage to each.
Next is icey hills and frozen River shoots, I have 4 lite weight custom track chains along with escape planks,,, lots of rigging, chain saws. Best to be prepared if things go south.
Lots of pre season scouting / terrain prep before the snow flys,,, that way your good to go,,, we look after our area as our friends take care of the BC stuff,,, downed trees are the most challenging,,, icy shoots,,, cliff edges,,, and dropping into lower bowls,,, just like a sled,,, always go up,,, never think down. LOL.
We tried SxS for 2 years, they have advantages,,, the quads also,,, +'s and -'s on both units,,, busting through the top layer crust sucks goats milk,,, lots of work getting out of that pickle. Ha.
Don't do this is the sled areas in early season,,, some times we're talking 4' to 20+++ feet and deeper up there, or in the Lower valleys.
We've been in valleys of 100 +++ feet deep,,, it would be late summer time to get the unit if you go down.
Where UTV tracks shine,,, semi flat grounds, 2' to 4' ish feet of snow, places where sleds have been, and sheltered treed-in areas of bush trails,,, along with farm lands,,, we use ours everday on the farm. Frugal on costs since our sled days are gone.
Why own a $20 G sled when our tracks benefit our units to be used all season long,,, big savings for farm operations "so long as we tap it kool."
We're in North Alberta testing out a few different set-ups out,,, no plans on trying them out in the heated bogs. Ha... Real easy getting around up here this year since the snow pack is 10" to 16" deep in most spots,,, the trails will remain good all season long if we keep packing them down,,, not so much for other areas when the 4' to 6' drifts blow in,,, the snowmobiles will be running by that time as they pack down those trials.
I'm closing in on year 4 coming up, my friend is into year 5 going on 6,,, about 12 units tested so far,,, the endless learning curves of good times.
Cross threaded and stuck adds to the adventures,,, its all about being late, lost, and lighting lots of bon-fires while enjoying the great out doors.
Ain't no time for TV when there's lots of things to do in the wilds.
