What should I use to drill out my track? Is it worth it? How far apart should the holes be? Any help would be great.
Track drilling??

What do you mean? That sounds crazy, why on earth would you do that? I bet if you searched this entire forum you couldn't find a single thread about it

Don't worry about Ridgerat, He's just jealous. Search for track porting and you should get a lot of posts. It was very popular 2 years ago along with big wheel kits. I have done both. I run extroverts and was able to get my track to run relatively loose and rotate very freely.
Be careful, people on here get very upset if you don't try the search button first.
Good luck,

do it you will like it!!! makes you track rotate alot better and makes it so all the snow is not riding in your track after a good stuck!!
www.bd-xtreme.com has a tool now to drill it. The nice thing is its a cleaner cut than the hole saw. Not as much melting when you are done.

What they did there was to turn an $18.00 Arch Punch on a lathe at the end of the handle so you can chuck it up in a drill motor.
Great idea.
A little different but it looks like they got the basic idea from that tool.
I guess I didn't search right, but I did a prior search and came up with nothing. So pipe down Ridgerat!!!I'll try again. Thanks for the input!!!

Alright alright...Just jerkin yur chain!
Sometimes searching doesn't work anyway! But there has been a few really good debates, how to's and general discussion threads about it around here over the last couple years. If you can manage to find those threads it will keep you busy reading a while.
i just bought that tool i hope it works
I think the debate is pretty much over. Polaris and Ski Doo punch there tracks stock. I think that when it first started, people were a little over zealous with the amount of holes that they were drilling. My personal opinion is that 2 1 1/8" holes is about right. Any more or bigger doesn't really accomplish any more snow removal or make the track any more flexible. Just my .02
