Been comparing notes with the two snowmobile clubs closest to us. We're all running Bomabardier BR160's. Ones got the narrower tracks, the one we've got used to have wide tracks but they were cut down and the the other machine's got the wider setup. I'm not sure on the exact measurements on each machine but, when comparing the performance of each machine, of course the one with the widest set of tracks performed the best in the deep powder. Followed by ours, then the one with the narrow tracks.......which is exactly what I expected. But, when it came to maintenance, the guys with the wider tracks keep cursing their machine every time they go out due to grousers/cleets breaking all the time. They also claim that they have a harder time keeping idlers on and the sprockets wear out faster and that it's way easier to tear a track belt with wider tracks. Anyone out there got any experience with this. I realize for floatation, you would want to go wider but when it comes to maintenance, do you guys with the wider tracks ever have problems like that?
