How to build homemade ATV tracks DIY

How to build homemade OTT (over the tire) half tracks out of old snow tires. I have not found any cheap ATV tracks to buy so i built these DIY half tracks instead.
If you liked this video and want to see more like it, why not subscribe?
On my channel "Jola76" I will show stuffs, how to´s and DIY.

[@charlieswearingen500]

This could be applied to all kinds of jobs or recreation and add skis to the front axle for off-trail use. Good explanation and video, thanks...

[@valsannavakode7115]

very interesting . I appreciate for the elaborate presentation in such a way that everyone will understand. Thanks for using english in explanation. Good

[@markjones6358]

Minimalistic and well thought out. Way to go! Минималистский и хорошо продуманный. Путь к работе!

[@Jola76]

Thank you very much. And thank´s for watching

[@littlebull8881]

Great intuitivnes, what is the ATV like in deep snow with your build

He is afraid of Sweden police mafia :D If they catch him he would be fined. You know - Sweden. They are politicaly correct and tolerate murders and rapist but they are afraid to build simple all-terrain bike and try it outside.

[@vasilydiovod4678]

Что бы не срывало зад, он же специально шипованную поставил

[@easytrans]

That's quite cool, well thought out and a nice prototype, I'd add some scraper bar to remove /divert the snow buildup from the tyres running inside the tracks. But some cool ideas there great instructional gesture video too.

[@user-ng8ij5gx3b]

Это как к вентилятору прикрепить ленту от видеомагнитофона- толку нет, зато шевелится

[@nikolaypanov3399]

Точно

[@user-yx8kg2oy4l]

да да

[@keen9629]

A cool idea but you don't need half tracks to ride down a groomed trail.

[@roypatterson9910]

You should reinforce the rack, because it's not made to have that kind of tension pulling and pushing on it, I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks after awhile.

[@Hammerjockeyrepair]

I use old tires for plenty of projects. I never need more than a plain knife to cut the sidewall, and then sawzall to cut the steelbelts in 5 seconds !

[@atvheads]

These tires are probably reinforced with steel wire.

[@houseslosttribe1351]

Careful w a cut off wheel ; I have a 4" Scar & miss my artery by 1 cm The built in Clutch Failed 😔

[@AlfZiyat]

Здравствуйте. Как долго прослужила эта конструкция?

[@srdavis37]

Wonderful! Ingenious! I already have a Polaris 6x6, but I see that I could make my own tracks for the rear wheels (without the welded frame). Thank you.

[@Jola76]

Thank you very much. yes you have an advantage everything is ready. just make the tracks. Put on the tracks with no air pressure in the rear wheels. Then pump air in the rear wheels to tension the tracks. Thank's for watching.

[@roypatterson9910]

You should have used a piece of tire on the inside to bolt the two tires together, because eventually those duct straps are going to break.

[@hyvinkaabombercrewhbc6005]

yea he should use tire but top of it use duct strap and bottom

[@houseslosttribe1351]

Ingenuity ; I would prob weld an All thread in place of the Ratchet strap then Built a Cart platform for firewood fetching w chainsaw holder for on top or a Log skidder mod built off the tail end . To control any sway if that's an issue 2 strut cartridges can be welded in or coil over along the Bracing to axle . I will say what you have done thus far is Superb 🤓Noice 👍 Cheap & Functional That's using ur Noggin 😆 Thanks for Sharing ; Sharing is Caring Liked and Saved for others to find and a reminder of How to for myself ; I appreciate ur handy work

[@user-re5br6bl7k]

При соединение покрышек там шарниры нужны, хотя бы дверные навесы как на шкафчиках, иначе переломает те пластины за полчаса

[@user-md5od3sy3c]

Он звеньями цепи с боку соединил покрышки.

[@greggv8]

At the tread joins I'd use a pair of hinges, with the pin roll facing outwards into a gap or notches at the tread ends. Round all edges of the hinges so they don't cut the tires. Instead of a ratchet strap for tension, a length of ACME threaded rod and a nut would make a more robust adjustment. A grease zerk on the nut would keep it from rusting to the rod. A cargo box mounted to the tag axle would be useful.

[@Jola76]

Good idea👍. Thank's for watching.

[@ShadowlordDio]

can you test it crossing a little trench or over logs and other obstacles?? i want to see if it bends to the sides with suspension. thank you

[@PRSQUAD88]

That was awesome idea still I would have liked to see it going over Hills and bumps

[@luketurco21]

I think it would have some trouble with that, I would think some short channel iron with snowmobile ice studs bolting them to the outside would make it work really well.

[@coachgeo]

did this make it go slower? was thinking about tracking a thing I have ..... got me thinking about gear ratio..... like did tracks change that? would think the tire would act like a Planetary gear and the track act like a ring gear making it slower.... but with more ugga ugga lol

[@TheMdvorak]

would it make sense to add a bit of weight to far back axle to get more even distribution of weight along new track?

[@denisgregoire2378]

Great Idea and Video, I enjoyed the details and it gives me lot's of Ideas on how to modify the set up.

[@lw1419]

Jill, love your projects, you always do a great job. Thx so much for sharing. Wink

[@joewoodchuck3824]

Nice concept and design. I hope we can see updates.

[@angelonicassio7131]

But does it actually offer improved Traction? The back ones aren't under the vehicle. it is already 4x4...

[@michaelblock4397]

Sweet with translation love it. You are good! Wish you had my tools, you could really do nice work.I don’t even want to do this but I was mesmerized. if that cargo rack can handle the strain sweet, if if don’t work still sweet! What is this helping you with? Stop the front end from sinking that would be powerful.

[@MGszamanVlog]

Hi, can I use part of your video to my compilation of the most interesting inventions ?

[@Jola76]

Yes

[@MichaelBasedow]

This is an awesome idea. It is easy to put on and take off once it is manufactured.

[@Jola76]

Thank you. Glad you liked it.

Awesome work!

[@lmcclellan]

Split the tires down the length in the center of the tread and use rubber straps and bolts to bolt back together, this will create lateral treads the length of the "track" as well as leaving full height sidewalls to help prevent elements from entering the "roller" area of the tread. Then use vulcanizing rubber cement to glue a spliced innertube inside the resulting track to prevent tire damage from the mending bolts. Also you could add screw's to the tread of the track for added grip.

[@chriswf]

What's the benefit of the cuts down the length of the tire? I'm a little confused by that comment.

[@stormrider8236]

Thanks for posting the video and the English subtitles! A cracking design concept, I like some of your ideas, not sure about the long term prospects for the track joining system, since making the video can you comment on how well they have lasted. Thanks once again. SR

[@Jola76]

Hello since I built those I have not had time to test them for a longer period. So the anser is that I don't now. But thank's for watching.

[@hansvanwyk5740]

Does this actually help with the traction of the vehicle? Is the vehicle better off-road with the added track?

[@spartangamer5850]

VAAL24 - Hans van Wyk I dont really think will help that much cuz there is no weight in the track unlike an actual track meant for atv’s when most of the weight is on the actual track and not the wheel but it might help for like hill climbing or a wheelie bar

[@Erated78]

Brilliant design, simple and well thought out. However, I don't know why you'd need it.... for improved traction in snow perhaps? Once the snow gets to the depth in your demo I'll fire up my snowmobile. Cheers

[@Jola76]

I am gonna try to convert my little 150cc ATV to a snowmobile for the kids. I sold my real snowmobile last year. Thank´s for watching.

[@Aeronautyczny]

testowane w miejscu gdzie gąsienice nie są potrzebne , dobrze by było pokazać ze faktycznie działają w większym sniegu i porównać je do normalnych kół

[@Jola76]

This is a first test. I am still developing. I have a video on my channel using the tracks with my 150cc ATV in 40cm snow. I will update with videos on the tracks next winter. Thank's for watching

[@Qbanek]

jak to totalnie po chuju nie przydatny pomysł jest, nie wiem co autor myślał że to będzie robić

[@noworriesmate8287]

Very very cool! I live in Michigan USA. I’m building one before winter !!! Thanks for sharing

[@Jola76]

Thank you for watching.

[@JustAnOldMan]

I was born & raised in the U.P., those tracks won't get you anywhere without some deep cleats on them. Very inventive setup though.

[@flyingtjar007]

simple yet effective design. Have you thought of making use of the extra space you now have on your ATV, either a seat or some sort of cargo holder. it would double as more weight over the drive wheels(tracks) and more capacity for the vehicle.

[@Jola76]

Hello and thank's. Yes i have plans to build a cargo holder when I get the time. Thank's for watching.

[@TrailMaker2]

Cool idea, but try putting sharp bolts on that big track that you ve made and try putting weight on the back so that you will have more grip

[@bobekltz400]

Na sniegu dwojka i ogien :)

[@eddiewebb1966]

You need to to go a little more faster. And drive threw some deeper snow to know if there going to work good or not . Don't be afraid to go a little faster and in deeper snow.

[@calebbaltus]

You always want it deeper and faster don’t you

[@eddiewebb1966]

ha ha ha ha now thats funny

[@jacrispy8802]

I like the that there was no talking, only captions, so it is enjoyable for both languages

[@Jola76]

Thank you. And thank's for watching.

[@Asstorbel]

Конструкция конечно прикольная но смысла в ней, как мне кажется, нет.

[@carlolarussa5415]

Are you driving in 2 or 4 wheel drive ?

[@Jola76]

Two

[@dirtrider88]

a regular quad with 4wd would have preformed just as well. heck even 2wd with half decent tires would have handled that snow just as well.

[@cm5838]

I would think that would alter the gear ratio between the front and rear causing differential damage.

[@garvinhooper]

once the tracks get too much snow inside they will not stay on,we used to cut holes every so far apart with a hole saw and staggered so they would clean the snow while traveling,we built the same thing years ago using tractor tires on pickup truck,use wo master cylinders for help steering

[@guntars5281]

cool idea. now i just need an ATV :D

[@Jola76]

Thank you for watching

[@garettpatria]

Brilliant!

[@gobigorgohomeproductions458]

Lol went down a drive way.:.: we wanna see you blast through the snow then we will build one...

[@joshuacrooker6489]

Username checks out

[@mdk2066]

Very ingenious solution, but to drive through 2" of Snow?

[@marnielarocque9412]

hello Jola sad to see so many disrespectful know it alls that have never done anything disrespect you, my friendly suggestion is to shorten your square tubing so that the trailing tire is only about 2in, or cm, so that will lower the leverage on your rack and shock assembly, then wrap something around the tires and this will give you the diameter of the tire you need to make your track from, also the square tubing used for idler wheels should be telescopic so you can add or lower the pressure on tracks will also allow you to change tires, tracks, and change track length if you change out tires used for tracks. Very cool idea, keep up the good work. PS i`m an old retired mechanic welder.

[@Jola76]

Thanks Marnie. I have plans to continue my project that is not finished yet. I have renovated a house, and have not had time to complete the Atv tracks. I appreciate tips and tricks from creative people like you. It makes me happy. And to all the negativ people, they should read this. "Any idiot can criticize, condemn and complain. And most do". Anyway Marnie thanks again and a happy new year.

[@EZoutAtSecond]

I like it...but...what was the purpose in the build...or was it just to kill time and material...I had tracks on my vehicle...and a 105 mm cannon...50 cal and 7.62 machine gun...and a few other toys...LOL nice job...!!!

[@siamsurf]

Nice idea, but if he'd go through deep snow, the tracks would fill up making the tracks come off. That's why you don't find side skirts on tracks...

[@user-qf7ez5el4s]

Гениально!

[@mikal7359]

[@DannyScheid]

Smart! So much surface area

[@waymoresoutlaw195]

Add a rack for extra hauling and you'll have the perfect machine

[@paublusamericanus292]

model T half-tracks had ski's on the front tires back in the 1920's.

[@Jola76]

I do not think I claimed in the video that this was a new and groundbreaking invention? Thank's for watching.

[@big6316]

I would think that an ATV would be plenty capable in snow with just 4 tires, is there some gain from doing this?

[@OscarTissue]

AWESOME AND GENIUS IDEA just 1 thing is wrong: the direction of rotation on the tread on the snow tires. Should be opposite, check the marked arrows on sides of tyres, but maybe u cuted it out ;p

[@insane_ravenger1558]

either way works, the angles in the tires help to disperse water at speed, so you dont hydroplane as easy, as you can see, he wont be going very fast on these lol

[@rogerwalsberg]

Great place for a box in the rear for hauling firewood n stuff.

[@jimviktorlangstrom7662]

Superbra video. Bra att du är grundlig med vad som behövs och att du visar ordentligt med kameran. Less på 3 min videos med polerad slutfinish. Cool idé med vinterdäck som band. Öppnar upp en helt ny värld av projekt.

[@Jola76]

Tack vad roligt att du gillar mina videor. Och tack själv som tittar på dem

[@jessefields2225]

Wow it can drive on flat ground with hardly any snow

[@Jola76]

Wow yet another comment that does not perform any function.

[@4freedomnow887]

put bolts through the tred like studs would give it a ton of traction

[@Jola76]

Yes your right there. But in loose snow they will be no good. I think I will try to make lugs. Thank´s for watching

Lepiej byś przyczepke zrobił większy pożytek był by z niej.

[@10kunegunda]

A skąd wiesz, że nie ma już przyczepki? Teraz postanowił ulepszyć jeszcze swojego quada. Zresztą pomysł wydaje się bardzo dobry - popatrz na ten filmik jeszcze raz i ucz się od naprawdę lepszych! Korzystaj zamiast pyskować niemądrze. Co najwyżej można byłoby się przyczepić do mało agresywnego bieżnika! Na śnieg nie jest on dobry - co zresztą widać w pewnym momencie filmiku, jak gostek musiał zsiąść i pomóc quadowi wygrzebać się z niezbyt głębokiej zaspy na zakręcie. No i łączenie dwóch gumowych elementów każdej z gąsienic zwykłymi śrubami wydaje się być niezbyt udanym pomysłem.

[@philliptoone]

Mounting that spring to the cargo rack will not allow enough pressure to be placed on the rear wheels to make it worth it.

[@darinaanddavidmoto9097]

good idea

[@sanych9848]

очень сомнительное приспособление, и вряд ли жизнеспособное. 1. на самую заднюю ось нагрузка 0, думаю что вывесить авт за зад , просто поломает эту хлипкую конструкцию. 2. передние колеса в снегу ваще не АЙС , как минимум лыжи. афтор, проедь по снегу в 50 см... я прям вижу как этот прецеп отваливается....

MEN den stora frågan blev det bättre fäste eller vad???????????????????

[@Jola76]

Nja, jag har byggt om banden till min lilla 150cc ATV. Där monterar jag stötdämparfästet direkt i ramen. Därför har jag inte lagt ner någon tid på att fundera ut någon lösning på ett bättre fäste.

[@ikke6432]

Классная идея, только выхлопа от него - нуль. Во первых увеличил нагрузку на мотор. Во вторых - если ездить по глубокому снегу, то через 10 метров новые "колёса" забьются снегом и в таком режиме через сколько выйдет из строя мотр/сцепление? И долго останутся "колёса" на нужном месте?
