Well, it goes into an enclosed trailer. If I remove my truck cap, it would go in the truck, no problem. Overall width is 56" and length is near 9 ft. (that's 2 ft longer and 6" wider than with my tires and wheels.

By the way this system can be swapped between it and the wheel/tires in about 45 minutes. It is an "all-season" system, so it can be run year around. Made by the top track manufacturer - Camoplast.

thats a big investment. amazing what they come up with. my grandkids were snowmobiling over the weekend in the adirondacks and they said there was couple that were riding thier atv with the tracks and were keeping up with the snowmobiles with no problem. how do they go on the ice?are they ice kleets on the tracks or just rubber? it looks pretty slick in the web 2 area.

The tracks are "marked" for track studs. I installed "ice screws". Had them in the tires I was using on the ice. They work well.
Tomorrow will be the first trip out on the lake for my machine with these tracks.
I don't know if I'm more excited about the fish I'm gonna catch or seeing how the tracks perform on hard smooth ice. Going to be a fun day. :D
