Buy the black diamond tool..cheap and works really great. Make a template, I made one from 3/4 inch hardwood with 2 blocks that fit in the track drive holes. I do 3 holes in the center section. Some times 2 more in outside as well. Does it work? well its 5-6 pounds off the track and seems to carry less snow when running..have not found a down side..never broke one with 200 hp.
I made a template out a piece of mdf. It holds the two outside lugs so the middle holes you drill are always in the same spot. I used a 1 1\8" hole saw. Drill slow so it burns the threads and they don't frey.
I drilled three holes in the middle. The mistake I made (though it hasn't been a problem) is that the inside wheels roll over the holes. Make sure you measure the holes so the inside wheels miss the holes. Also, don't get all crazy with holes like ski-doo did so you lose too much floatation. Next time would drill two holes in the middle and call it good
thanks for the info guys!! gonna drill it this weekend. hopefully the turbo m8 wont tear it up
turbo m8 ?? i'd put one hole in the middle,maybe 2 but thats it...lot of load with the turbo motors, really 1 middle hole to let some snow out is all if any you should need. My 200 hp sled weighs 420 lbs wet so it not a heavy laod.
