@@miked903 So far no issues. We will do a full review once we get some hours on it. We use this machine in our snow grooming business and it runs weekly. We are loving it.
Great December 90" for grooming then nada nothing till April, then 24"more inches. Groomed 16 miles of trails 5 times in Dec.My Defender 2016 and Camso 4S1 tracks At Paddy Flat Guard Station Payette Forest Idaho by our house with Tesla Pwerwall 2 and now we have Starlink internet had this place 6yrs and the last 3 winters full time. Great Video thanks Tim & Penny Retired well I am retired the wife works online as an RN so she doesn't have to go anywhere she retires next year. So year-round fun. I have a question about getting new tracks for our new Defender and your enclosed cab???????? Semper Fi Nov 10th 69 to Sept, 1st 72.
Yeah we have a wider one but the roads up at the cabin and the amount of snow we get lends to the smaller one. We also tow it behind our Skandic snowmobile
So it’s like a 35% gear reduction so I don’t have to use low all the time, but it does cut the speed in half, for the defender I like top speed is just below 30 mph but I feel like the sweet spot is 20 -25 mph
@@rockylongbrake1703 In the front there is a space where it plugs in. I plan on doing a video about it - can-am-shop.brp.com/off-road/us/en/715007338-track-dps-module.html
my opinion, as a person born in a winter country where snow is 6 months a year, about 50-60 cm (19-20 inches) high - that is, in Russia: Such tracks are not suitable for deep snow. Look at the of the tracks - in front (and in the rear) the tracks of the tank - rise up, because it’s more convenient to hang over the surface plane and, as it were, roll on the snow, press the snow ... while in the video, the tank caterpillars, on the contrary, burrow into the snow every time , breaking through it ... consuming more fuel, more energy is spent on breaking through pushing through the snow - and this is stupid.
I had that same opinion as you. But they actually go really well in deep snow. I was surprised how well they do and we have been using them for over 12 years in the deep snow of Utah
Who else loves tracked vehicles? Comment below.
Any issues with the can am and the tracks? Love to see a review. We have a ranger XP with tracks.

fingers crossed for some snowboarding
Exactly!!
What is the overall length of the unit with tracks ?
Do your doors lock? Thanks and great video.
Yes on this one which is a 2022, our new 2023 does not have locking doors
That thing is pretty neat. Groom me some track! 😋
We will fly over to Hawaii and groom all that snow you have!!
@@BackcountryLife we actually do have a bunch! Might see if I can get a snow video on the 690 this week (pesky work likes to get in the way).
@@JohnHowerton137 oohh that would be crazy cool!!!
Cool vid, but need wider groomer;)

Thank you for sharing
Thanks for the sub!
How fast are you able to go with the tracks? I’m assuming you used low range the whole time?
So it’s like a 35% gear reduction so I don’t have to use low all the time, but it does cut the speed in half, for the defender I like top speed is just below 30 mph but I feel like the sweet spot is 20 -25 mph
How long is the trailer you have the Defender on?
20 feet
@@BackcountryLife Is it 6' or 8' wide?
7' wide
Thank you!
Do you have Can-Am track dps module installed so the mileage and Speedo read correct? If so what part number is it?
Yes I do have the DPS module, not sure the part number
@@BackcountryLife where does it mount?
