[ricnoah]

[Jerryburger]

Bolt some old ATC tires onto the back of it?

20x12-8 knobbies in the rear and snowmobile skis on the front.

put a flame thrower on the front to melt the snow in your way could get expensive tho

I have seen chains for 6" snowthrower tires.

 

[ricnoah]

could i put tracks or something on it
arnt tires expensive
is there any thing that i might have just laying around that would make it work
the tires i have are fairly knoby as it is

Cut up an old set of skis and mount them in place of your front wheels. Find an old set of chains from a lawnmower and mount them on the rear tires. Guys with steep lawns use them for mowing. Maybe a set of strap on rubber,cable or rope emergency chains. Go red neck and wrap rope around the tire so it looks like a sand paddle (drill holes in the steel wheel to pass the rope thru)

dont have old lawn mower chains but might be able to get them dont really want to drill holes in my wheles

[robin]

i don't no why i posted that stupid comment

don't want to hijack but what stops the tire spinning with traditional tire chains

 

[ricnoah]

tire chains

thanks for the link but that is a bit more than i would like to spend
yea i liked the idea of a flame thrower too but it wouldnt melt the snow fast enogh and it would be alot of $$$$

 

[robin]

get a length of chain and make your owen

Yor asking alot from your cart to go through snow that deep. chains will help but only so much
