What a Track Kit Actually Does
A track kit replaces your wheels and tires with four track assemblies — one at each corner — and turns your side-by-side into a machine that floats over ground that stops tires cold. Each listing says it plainly: a track system converts your machine for snow, mud, sand and soft-ground work while keeping it usable year-round. The physics is contact patch. Four tires touch the ground on four small footprints; four tracks spread the same machine over a footprint many times larger, so instead of digging in and spinning, the machine rides on top. For a work machine that has to reach a camp, a lease, a tower site or the far end of a farm lane in February, that difference is the whole ballgame.
The Camso 4S1: One System, 144 Applications
Every track kit we sell is the Camso 4S1, Camso's UTV track system, and every one of the 144 applications in the track kit collection is $6,599. The flat price is not a promotion — the 4S1 system is the same core system on every machine, and what changes from kit to kit is the vehicle-specific mounting hardware that adapts it to your frame, suspension and steering. That is also why each kit carries its own Camso part number: the listing for the Wildcat kit, for example, is Camso part #6522-43-1166, a complete kit with the four track assemblies and the mounting hardware for that application. One part number, one machine family, one year range — there is no universal kit.
Fitment Is by Exact Application
This is the part to get right. Track kits are engineered per application, so the fitment list on each listing comes straight from Camso's official ATV/UTV Tracks System Application Guide, and the title of every kit names the machine and the year range it covers. Coverage runs to 144 applications — more than 40 Polaris fitments alone, plus Can-Am, Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, CFMOTO, Arctic Cat, Kubota, John Deere and more. The volume machines are all here: the Defender, the Ranger XP 1000 (2021–2026), the Maverick X3, the Pioneer 1000, the General XP 1000 and the Mule Pro line. Check your exact year, model and trim against the fitment list on the listing before you order — a kit built for the neighboring generation will not bolt up.
What Changes When You Drive on Tracks
Be honest with yourself about the trade-offs, because they are real. The drive sprocket effectively gears the machine down, so you gain low-end pulling power and lose top speed — track machines work at working pace, not trail pace. Steering effort goes up, fuel consumption goes up, and the machine gets longer and wider, so measure your trailer, your gates and your toy hauler door before the kit arrives. Ground clearance improves and the ride over rough, soft ground gets calmer, because the tracks bridge ruts and holes that swallow a tire. If your machine also plows, note that our Moose plow kits offer a 58" push tube built for machines running track systems, so the plow and the tracks work as one setup.
Tracks vs. Big Tires for Snow
Tires are cheaper, faster on hardpack and pavement, and better the other nine months of the year — our mud tire guide covers the deep-lug end of that world. Tracks win the moment the surface stops holding the machine up: deep snow, muskeg, sand and thawing ground where a tire digs a hole and a track walks across. If your machine earns money or gets you home in those conditions, the 4S1 is the tool. If it is a fair-weather trail toy, it is an expensive answer to a question you do not have.
Ordering and Shipping
Each kit is a complete system — four track assemblies with the vehicle-specific mounting hardware for the applications listed on its page. Kits are drop-shipped from the manufacturer through our distributor, we cover shipping and delivery on every track kit, and the listings ask you to allow a little extra time for delivery because of that routing. Confirm your exact year, model and trim against the fitment list first; if your machine is not in the collection, or you are between two applications, contact Dirti Motorsports and we will confirm the right Camso part number before you spend $6,599.
