UTV Track Systems
UTV Track Systems Built for Snow, Mud, and Heavy-Duty Work
UTV track systems are complete bolt-on assemblies designed to replace your side-by-side's wheels and tires. Unlike individual track components, a full UTV track system includes the track, suspension, wheels, and mounting hardware needed to transform your machine for extreme terrain, heavy loads, and year-round operation.
UTV track systems are commonly used for snow plowing, hauling, towing, hunting access, farm and ranch work, and utility applications where tires cannot perform reliably.
What Is a UTV Track System?
A UTV track system is a complete replacement for your side-by-side's wheel and tire setup. Each system consists of:
A reinforced rubber track
A suspension frame with guide wheels
Drive and idler wheels
Mounting hardware specific to your UTV
By spreading the machine's weight over a much larger surface area, track systems increase traction, flotation, and stability while maintaining payload capacity.
UTV track systems are engineered as complete assemblies to handle heavier loads and more demanding applications than ATV systems.
Why Choose a UTV Track System?
UTV track systems allow your side-by-side to operate in conditions that are difficult or impossible for tires.
Superior Traction
Tracks maintain consistent ground contact, providing superior grip in snow, mud, sand, and loose terrain.
Maximum Flotation
The larger contact area prevents sinking in deep snow, soft soil, and swampy environments.
Load-Bearing Stability
Track systems improve stability under heavy loads, on slopes, and across uneven terrain.
Year-Round Capability
With tracks installed, operators use their UTV throughout winter and in conditions tires cannot handle.
Common Uses for UTV Track Systems
Snow & Winter
UTV track systems are widely used for deep snow riding, snow plowing, ice fishing access, and winter trail riding.
Mud & Soft Terrain
Tracks provide steady movement in mud flats, marshes, wet fields, and soft ground where tires dig in.
Work & Utility
UTV track systems are often used for plowing, property maintenance, farm and ranch work, and remote job site access.
Hauling & Towing
Track systems maintain traction for heavy hauling and towing in conditions that would leave tires spinning.
UTV Track Systems vs Wheels and Tires
Track systems are designed for capability, load capacity, and control rather than speed.
| Feature | Track Systems | Wheels & Tires |
|---|---|---|
| Traction | Excellent | Limited |
| Flotation | High | Low |
| Snow Performance | Excellent | Poor |
| Mud Performance | Excellent | Variable |
| Stability Under Load | High | Moderate |
| Payload Capacity | Maintained | Reduced in soft terrain |
| Top Speed | Lower | Higher |
| Seasonal Use | Year-round | Limited |
UTV Track Systems by Model
Different UTV track systems are designed with specific terrain, performance, and vehicle compatibility in mind.

UTV Track System Fitment
UTV track systems are not universal. Proper fitment depends on:
- UTV make and model
- Model year
- Suspension type and configuration
- Vehicle weight class
- Intended use and terrain
Most systems require:
- Model-specific installation kits
- Hub bolt kits or adapters (vehicle dependent)
Correct fitment is critical for performance, payload capacity, and drivetrain safety.
Installation
UTV track systems are designed to be installed with standard tools. Installation time varies based on experience and vehicle configuration but is typically completed in a few hours.
Track systems can be removed seasonally and replaced with standard wheels and tires when needed.
UTV Track System Maintenance
Routine maintenance helps ensure long service life and reliable performance.
Typical maintenance includes:
Checking fasteners and torque
Inspecting track tension
Monitoring wheel and bearing condition
Cleaning after snow or mud use
Following manufacturer maintenance guidelines is recommended.
How Much Do UTV Track Systems Cost?
UTV track systems are a premium upgrade that significantly expands your side-by-side's capability.
Pricing varies based on:
- Brand and system design
- Track size and terrain focus
- UTV weight class and compatibility
- Required mounting components
While the upfront cost is higher than tires, many operators find the added capability, productivity, and year-round access justify the investment.
UTV Track System FAQs
Are UTV track systems removable?
Yes. Most systems are designed for seasonal installation and removal.
Do UTV track systems affect gearing or performance?
Track systems typically reduce top speed and may affect gearing. Many systems are engineered to work within manufacturer limits when properly installed.
Can UTV track systems be used for plowing?
Yes. Track systems are commonly used for snow plowing and work applications where traction is critical.
Do I need special parts to install a UTV track system?
Most systems require a model-specific installation kit and may require hub bolt kits.
Are UTV track systems vehicle specific?
Yes. Always verify compatibility with your UTV before purchasing.
What is the weight capacity of UTV track systems?
Weight capacity varies by system. UTV-specific systems are designed to handle heavier loads than ATV systems.
