thank you very much. I assume you have the side by side tracks not the atv tracks from Camso? I am looking at the ATV tracks from Kimpex. They are slightly smaller and will fit in my current trailer. I am looking into getting a smaller fish house with a ramp door and needed to know how big the door needs to be for the P5 to fit. Most of the smaller ramp doors are 64" wide by 76" tall. I think the ATV tracks make the P5 sit about an inch lower then the side by side tracks so if I am correct going off your measurements that should be large enough but a tight fit!!
Sounds like it'll be a tight fit! Those sound like round numbers in my post but it really was within one inch of 11' long and 5' wide. And yeah, they're the 4S1 UTV tracks.
It's an Owens dog box. I used up all my points and bought it through Cabelas!
Just another voice from someone 2 winters into tracks. The P500 is only 475cc but it handles the tracks ok. 5th gear is a bit much for it unless packed and flat snow. I usually take off in 2nd. I haven’t had it stuck yet and was surprised how well it got out of 12 inches of slush on the creek. Tracks aren’t cheap and without side doors you will be covered with snow and wet so you might as well factor doors in the price. I have some mobility issues with my knees so taking them on/off is about a 2 hour ordeal for me. Also, the p500 isn’t quiet at the best of times so count on engine/drive noise about the same as running at 3/4 throttle...it does operate at much high RPM’s. All said, it accomplishes my purpose for having one all year machine, getting firewood with a sleigh, ice fishing and just puttering around. It is NOTHING like a snowmobile. I suspect that if used on a regular basis tracks will cause considerable more wear and tear on the engine/drive...but I only put on 150-200 miles per yer. Though they say it runs about 2/3rds of wheel speed, think half...it just doesn’t feel right running the engine at full throttle to get 2/3 speed. Great traction!
