How many of the average consumers want to unload this much cash on a brand new machine, only to have to replace the track and drivers.
Part of the game for only an elite few I think..
The way I see you either deal with a P.O.S. Trenching track as the 2007 " light" turned out to be. Speaking from first hand experience hear. Then have a crappy winter dealing with the side effects of a bad track.
Or man up and switch out the pile with something better. Then go out and have the fun you intended. Does it suck to have to make that choice?,Yes! Should the OEM have track that works as advertised,? Yes, but sometimes that does not happen, unfortunately....
I bet you have no issues putting on wraps, expensive Rasmussen bumpers, light weight silencers, and other things that could be termed a "fad".
I am by no means in "some elite few group". I work hard save my money and pay CASH for my sleds. That way I have options.
If you can't do so or chose not to, that might be something you could work on. Don't knock those of us who work hard 365 days a year to enjoy our winters and not let something like bad track get in the way of it.
Cheers
