Thoughts on using Tracks on a John Deere Gator?

Hey everyone!

We have been receiving more and more curiosity and interest from customers across the US about adding tracks to their John Deere Gator to replace the tires. We have never carried any in-stock before, nor really tested out a Gator with tracks equipped on it. While doing some research into them, we have come across a few major players in the tracks market, but were looking for expert opinions from our favorite John Deere fans.

Has anyone on this site ever used, or owned, a set of tracks for their John Deere Gator? While we can listen to the features and benefits from the supplier's salesmen all day, nothing beats the honest word of those who have used or owned them before. We are aware of a few major companies producing these wheel-replacement tracks, and have listed them below. One of the biggest companies, and one that John Deere seems to work with more often, is a business called Camoplast. They produce tracks for not only John Deere Gators, but a variety of ATVs, UTVs, Tractors, and more. Unfortunately, not every website can be super flashy with pics and videos, so we are really unsure about total performance with these pieces of equipment.

If you have any experience with Gator tracks, either using them or owning a set yourself, we'd love to hear from you! We are always looking to expand our business and offer more products that our customers want. This could potentially be a new venture for us, but we never undertake anything unless John Deere fans will like it. I couldn't think of a better community of John Deere enthusaists and friends than the GreenTractorTalk forum, so you guys are officially the first to know.

Feel free to comment on this thread with your input and advice. Whether it be good or bad, we want to hear reviews and stories either way! If you wish to talk to us directly, you can always give us a call toll-free at 1-888-284-9606 or visit us online at MuttonPower.com

Thanks for your time and we look forward to hearing everyone's responses!

Litefoot is a division of Mattracks. Mattracks was the first to develop the vehicle track systems so they are a good choice.
one thing that is a detriment to them though, they are HARD on the suspensions. An oil company bought the truck versions for their F350s to use in the snow up of the northslopes of AK. They were always breaking the frontends of the trucks because of the tracks. the track system is supported entirely by the wheel bearings so they will put a LARGE load on the bearings.
