the ski setup was extremely easy, i just took a junked ski from a indy and deflated the tire the ratched strapped it, blew the tire back up and locked the front brakes, no problems! its not really that effective because the wheel is fine up to 6 inches and even with the ski and chains and skid plate it starts to spin the rear wheels even tho the ski works nice it doesnt matter if you aint moving!!

The main problem is height, even some 4x4 wheelers get stuck in the deep stuff, actually some sleds do to that is part of the reason why they came out with extended tracks. The 4-Snow tires would help for sure as they expand giving you up 40% expansion when accelerating which increases your clearance. I like the K-Track set-up, haven't checked the pricing though but their videos look pretty good. Under plates would help prevent the snow from binding anywhere. I would prefer a front ski without the wheel/tire as that would require more push rather than letting the snow pass over the ski and through the forks. When I plow with my 2 wheel drive four wheeler I spray my blade with WD-40 and the snows slides off like its being tossed by a snowblower when I'm in 2nd! Hope to hear some more ideas!

You can make your own skid plate from a 55gallon plastic drum you know the big blue ones. I have a friend that swears by it and think about it there free most of the time. Cut what you need and design and keep the left overs to make more.Just my 2cents. Plastic will give you no drag or very little hope it works.Freeway1

Yes their are some good idea on youtube. I was impressed with the trike with snowmobile tracks on the rear. this seemed to compact the snow allowing traction not just digging in.
My suggestion is two wide skiis up front ( replacing the front wheel with a modified axle that would hold 2 ski on an axle in line with the rear tires)that would compact the snow for the rear tires. I seem to go fine till my skid plate starts tragging then the rear wheels start digging in. Front wheel tend to ride up better with weight transfer forward then back while standing on the pegs.
The nice thing is reverse is a definite saver. Just shift and back out of the deep.

How did your trike handle in the +12" snow???? I assume you just cut the track a little short in circumference then bolted together then air up the tires to hold the tracks in place??????? That would stop my digging in problem.
Combined with a ski front should make it work........
Helpful advice is always welcome
Tks
