I have never owned or operated a 6x6 but since I've never done either I want to buy a older used one and i wanted to know if you could buy tracks from the only companies left and if they would fit on older AATV's? Thank you anyone who has information.

Will only speak for Max. The new track system will pretty much require a machine designed for it or extensive upgrades. If a machine has the same wheelbase (50" or 58") and uses the 21" goodyear Rawhide tire, the Max system will fit, but whether it will actually work depends on axles, bearings and other drive system components. I would say if you want a tracked vehicle, you should buy one that way (and make sure you try out the track system on an older machine). Personally, I would forgo the tracks unless you can get a Max with the new (solid rubber 15" wide) track system.

Thank you for the important info. Tracks aren't the most important thing i would need for my 6x6 but they would come in very handy i think. Thanks for your thoughts on this subject and i will base this on what i buy.
