I have an old RMK with a new 136" on it and would like to go longer, I think 700 will push 151's ok put what about this 600? is 144 is long as it gets?

You could do a 151 . With some minor gear changes it should still preform well . So are you thinking rail extenions or pull out skid for 151 sled ?

I stretched an Arctic Cat out to 144'' from 136'' and when it was over, I spent alot of money to have maybe 2 more paddles on the ground as the net increase in footprint was only 4". Polaris went with the 144" tracked 600 with the Edge chassis. Remember you will have to extend you tunnel to make the change work and some of the longer tracked Gen II stuff had a "bent" up rear tunnel that allowed the track to cycle through its travel. Cheers.

I stretched my 2000 RMK 700 from 136 to 159 series 4 with all windows open and clipped. The new new track rolls so much easier it takes less hp and it gained 4 miles per gallon or more. I think the 600 would turn a 159 track just fine. The new thinner track is a big difference and those old 136s turned hard.
