There are people that have done it. They say it improves deep snow performance.

I was wondering about cutting teeth into the 3 inch?

Does it still handle set up snow good? Braking down hill?
Thanks

Bacon · May 16, 2015

Really doesn't give up anything and works better in the powder. Never had a problem with the braking like some do. In theory it should work better for braking cause you are grabbing larger bites of snow.

did you just use a sawzal blade to cut them off

One guy with sharp knife, and another with a vice grip. Put the vice grip on the lug and bend it the opposite way you are cutting with the knife. Just don't cut too close. Better to leave a little nub than cut into the cords. Once you get good, it's a 20 minute job. Just keep rotating the track and work on the lugs that bend around the rear idlers.

Sawzall would work well just don't let it dig down, that our windshield cut out tool

Carpet knifes or a sharp Rapella filet knife.

Side hill performance

I would think u would lose side hill performance, hard to imagine any over all gains?? IMO.

I didn't see any downfalls...saved 3.5 lbs

Looks just like the Attack 20 track that is sitting on my shelf.

Anyone want to try it?

Hot knife works the best I've found, but a good carpet knife and a propane torch work as well. Heat the blade and warm the track rubber. Just like butter.

Attack 20 did not have stiff lugs with fingers on their outside edge.

As I said, Looks just like the Attack 20 track that is sitting on my shelf.

Look at the pictures they are cutting off the fingers from the Power claw and by the way the Attack 20 is very stiff.

Your right. That's why they left the lugs off the 3 inch. Because performance is less. I have ran this mod on the 2.25 and the 2.6 track. It works. Till you try it, you won't know.

Works better. Sticks to the sidehill and doesn't wash out as easy. There is a reason they went this way on the 3 inch.
