What track is this?

[DallanC]

Can anyone tell what track this is?

There is a sled up for sale I'm looking at... I can see its a finger track of some kind. I havent contacted the guy yet. I'm interested in the sled, but luke warm about the track. I know alot of guys like finger tracks but I lean towards the standard paddle configuration.

I've never ridden a sled with fingers... dont they work better in heavier wetter snow than powder? What about on trails? How good are they in the fluff?

The track in another picture looks to be windowed pretty heavily... I know you get greater rotational speed with a windowed track but how much floatation do you loose by giving up all those sq inches of surface area?

Sled itself seems like a sweet deal but I dunno how well I will like the track. Final question, its a 151, what would it be worth if I took it off to sell?

I'm not sure the exact name, but i did have one on a used rmk that i once bought. Those tracks are way better in hard and wet snow, then powder. They still go great in powder don't get me wrong. But I think they go better in hard/wet snow.

finger track. I have one on mine.

They HOOK in set-up and hard snow.

They are pretty firm in deep powder, can trench in bottomless powder.

and your buddies won't poach your lines if you run one! The trenches that my 02 800 poo w/ a 151 finger track would leave, could swallow a hole sled for lunch! I loved mine for sure. You won't be dissappointed!

The only downfall I ever had was coming downhill on them is rather nerve racking...think about how bad a paddle track is when trying to slow down or stop coming downhill and multiply it by 2 or 3....my experience at least.
