Hello to all,
It was pointed out that my 1500 has "small" track drive sprockets.

My question is: If I were to go to the "big" drive sprockets (assuming that I have enough track to go around them), how much ground spped and or RPM reduction might I expect? The rig seems to have plenty of power and sifts thru the gears to third almost before you get untracked, so I don't think the higher "gearing" will result in a problem. It looks like unless I can find some good used sprockets or do some trading, I'm looking at several dollars to do the change...will it be worth it??
Opinions??
Thanks, Doug
