DIY tracked ATV $1000 cost! Hardest tests!

[@stevelindsay3643]

I think it performed incredibly well for a $1000 all in build. Well done.

[@Shadobanned4life]

I like it. I cannot believe that little motor can even turn that transmission,let alone move that chariot through the rough! All in all a great job!

[@joet-sk4sw]

Out of all home made tracked machines ive seen on youtube ,this is my most favorite ,would love to own it....

[@curioushooter]

Without a suspension (more than the air in those tires) you can't really go much faster. That engine is fine. Put a trolling motor on the back. You'd have a reasonable boat. I was really impressed at how those tracks stayed on.

[@andyd2960]

If they do a little work to the tracks they won't need a trolling motor.

[@harryfritter8266]

It's impressive what he made. It's so fascinating to see the technology that comes from that part of the world. Overcoming conditions like muskegg and bogg. They take such a different approach. Some of the most interesting machines

[@slateslavens]

on a vehicle like this with an open differential driving the tracks, apply a bit of brake to both tracks to get them to both drive at the same time.

[@bluemoondiadochi]

i think it's a very good vehicle for it's intended application - access to remote areas for fishing, on a budget. for this, i believe that cheapness of the engine overcomes its lack of power. as for slowness, i think it's ok, as moving 30km into a remote area is quite enough, and it's builder probably either fishes locally or uses a trailer. it could be even possible to use it as a fishing boat, just anchor it and fish. my remark could be that it has no protection from elements and for example extra lights, but that's easy to install, to be honest. overall, it looks like an excellent vehicle!

[@johnfleury5430]

Very well done a few modifications it be perfect let's not forget the budget lots as been accomplished with very little money an Argo here in Alberta with tracks roll cage is $35000 Take care be safe

[@pleasantlakepirate1832]

I agree, the price of an Argo is ridiculous when you consider its just a plastic tub with a yard tractor engine and some drive chains turning 6-8 wheels

[@robertfoote3255]

Looks like he did a good job for using "on hand parts" with a budget in mind...👍😃

[@wmden1]

Yes. It is a bit crude, and probably rides rough, but he could set it up to use low pressure atv tires and soften his ride considerably. It would be much like a sprung suspension and also give a little more traction on uneven terrain, I would think. I like it. It is probably more robust than a lot of factory, 20,000 dollar rigs. It's is not cramped up for 4 people, either.

[@keenanleetodd]

How did he make the tracks?

[@pistolpetepeterson]

2 reinforced rubber conveyer belt straps (like in a factory) with hand bent and welded brackets on the tire side and a flat bracket with a paddle welded to it on the outside sandwiched and bolted together. at least 1 or 2 brackets having the rubber doubled up where the ends meet on the track. I'm working on designing my own. trying to find a set of 8 matching wheels and tires on a budget that will work in the US is a pain in the ass. lol

[@0xsergy]

@@pistolpetepeterson the only problem with this design imho is that if you hit a rock with one of those brackets that keep the track over the tire you can bend it enough that it'll puncture a sidewall on the tire. ie, lets say you slide sideways into a muddy/rocky hole those brackets could very easily be bent looks like

[@victoryfirst2878]

I really like this machine. For the price you cannot beat the deal for sure. Very nice work making a unique machine for getting around the swampy terrain of Russia and go fishing too. V

[@adamwiggins9865]

[@newageautotechnology]

I still want one of them. Like all you've done

[@QuebecoisSti]

The only missing part is suspension. However, with that price point thats still pretty impressive!! 👍

[@CrusaderSports250]

If you lightly brake the spinning track the transmission will start to drive the other side, it's one of the reasons tractors used two brake pedals. I would want some roll bars if for no other reason than to put a roof on it and possibly some canvas sides, open topped may look fine but wet leads to cold and miserable, and that is not fun.

[@joet-sk4sw]

Is there any build plan's avilible for this build ??

[@aksnowman2641]

[@TheKrimzonGhost]

@@earthalienzapa3237 Gravity is mechanical vortex/syphon force the only way to negate it is with outward propulsion that is greater than the pull of gravity its self.

[@jchovernut]

Any plans available?

[@pinestumps8622]

I will be releasing plans of my machine in a couple of months, but the build cost will not be $1000 like this machine. I think there is a wide discrepancy with purchasing power between Russia and my country, because I spent about $3k on my rig via junkyard components and that's just to get it driveable.

[@0xsergy]

@@pinestumps8622 they also said he had lots of spare parts sitting around so that could be part of it too.

no suspension?

[@hawkwindarcher]

This needs uaz engine, diferential lock and suspension. And the crush bar. Otherwise very cool. I like the "no sprocket" approach, but that only works because there is no suspension. I wonder if makers of these vehicles foam the wheels.

Where can I buy this?

[@jacewanca4240]

Can someone tell me if it’s ok to just use a normal differential and if I have to use brake skid steer diff and if i do where can I find one that’s why I want to use a didf

[@leemer1]

Go to Donn DIY`s KZbin channel and look how he built his skid steer differential. Hes just in the process of building an amphibious atv.

[@kaelenhughson9579]

A "skid steer" diff is just a regular "open" diff. No limited-slip/posi-track, no locker. Just regular open diff. An open diff will apply power to whatever wheel has the LEAST resistance. If you apply the brake to one side, the un-braked side has less resistance so it gets the power causing the turn. This is how this machine works, thus the two brake levers. Hydrostatic skid steering like in a Bobcat is a completely different system.

[@sjg3890]

This bloke has just used an ordinary car diff and it obviously works. You just need seperate braking on either side to turn.

[@panama-canada]

That's argo. You can buy used for 1-3000

[@dr.ofdubiouswisdom4189]

Very clever & super effort indeed, but snow & water will be the most of anything it will hold up in. I don't see that track holding up for any real usable service life. Now a 6 wheel drive variant and a better budget would be much more forgiving.

My question is, just where do you find tracks? I've never seen anything in any junk yards I've ever been. Otherwise, I want one NOW !!!

[@surlyogre1476]

The narrator said that the builder made the tracks from conveyor-belt material. You just might find that at a junkyard, or at your local farm supply store. Grainger and McMaster-Carr also sell belt material through their catalogs.

[@orionfleming6783]

Go to an old mill auction. They have all kinds of conveyor belt material, there are also people that go to auctions and buy stuff and really sell it. If you ask your local junk man he might know the person your looking for, also ask a farmer. They have a lot of belts in there equipment that would be heavy enough and would know of junk dealers near you.

FOR $12 - $17000 YOU GET LITTLE MORE WITH A NEW ARGO, WHICH ALSO HAS NO SUSPENSION, WORKS OFF THE EXACT SAME WHEEL/TRACK/CHAIN DRIVE SETUP, HAS LIMITED CUSHIONED SEATING AND USES AN 18 HP KOHLER V-TWIN... BUT A LIFAN IS A ADEQUATE ENGINE. AN ARGO ALSO BARELY MOVES IN WATER, AND DEPENDS ON RIBBED TIRES TO PADDLE IT - WHICH HE COULD HAVE EASILY SOURCED. ARGOS ALL TOO OFTEN DEPEND ON WINCHES, ATVS OR ANOTHER ARGO TO PULL THEM UP ON LAND OR OUT OF ICE, BUT THEY DO HAVE A TRANS WITH A DIFFERENTIAL LOCK GIVING YOU 6 OR 8 WHEEL DRIVE... BUT AT 18 TO 23hp, THEY ARE FAR UNDERPOWERED FROM THE 2 STROKE 45HP MACHINES OF YESTERYEAR.
