What would happen if snow sprockets were used in normal conditions. Would the sprockets/bushings last even half as long as regular ones would?
Thanks,
Craig

We usually just rotate them twice a year, on the fall and off in the spring..

Thanks Bob, This is a case of one-piece sprockets that are no longer available in standard configuration.

I don’t really have any experience with this but it did make me think about a TD6 that I looked at with snow sprockets. The bushing showed a pronounced wear pattern in the center. Was a farm tractor no blade, not sure if the wear was typical of that style sprocket or if it had been ran with tracks to tight or other issues. Be interesting to hear other feedback. Thanks, Mike
