Rubber Tracks For 6-Wheel ATV Sprayer

Rubber Tracks For 6-Wheel ATV Sprayer ATV'S ATV'S 18-2-40 JM Innovations, Inc., Edwardsville, Ill., recently introduced 15-in. wide rubber tracks made to fit its ATV mini-floater sprayer and the Polaris 350 6-WD ATV. The continuous loop tracks have no seams to pull apart. You deflate and remove one of the tires and put the track on, then put the tire back on and reinflate it. "The rubber tracks take advantage of the Polaris's 6-WD capabilities and put a large footprint down to increase traction and flotation," says Jeff Mick, owner. The tandem axle sprayer can be equipped either with a 32 1/2 or 471/2-ft. self-leveling boom, 110 to 150-gal. tank, a 51/2 hp Honda gas engine, axles that adjust from 80 to 120-in. centers, 5 or 10-gal. foam markers, and a Micro-Trak MT-3000 spray con-troller. The tracks sell for $1,000 per pair. The sprayer sells for $3,895 and up, depending on options. Also new is a gooseneck hitch that puts the weight of the sprayer on the 6-WD ATV's rear tires for improved traction. "It takes advantage of the traction and weight carrying capabilities of the 6-WD ATV and provides extra flotation due to the 6-WD ATV's extra axle and tires. It spreads the weight of the sprayer over four axles and eight tires," notes Mick. "The gooseneck hitch can also be used to hook up to small pickups." Sells for under $500.
