This is one of the tricks I learned about many years ago and it still applies, even a Polaris engineer told me that the only reason that Polaris went to only two wheels on the back was for marketing only. It’s as simple as adding another wheel or easier yet and better yet, 4 wheels To the rear of your skid. When you only have two wheels the track is stretched and bent around the rear wheels, but if it held right across, the track does not have to be bent and rolls easier with less tension on the adjusters to get the same slack. Less rolling resistance equals more power to the ground, One easy way to tell is when you are just slowing down to a stop. You will see that it glides to a stop instead of the resistance braking you. Another mind blower is to just turn the track when lifted in the shop and feel the resistance at your preferred track tension with the stock two wheels. Then change to the 4 wheels and check the difference. Amazing results. I even used a weight scale and found that the pulling weight dropped from 50 lbs plus (the max on the scale) to less that 25 lbs. Track speed is increased and you ride easier with faster response. Track tension can be reduced also but that’s your call. I found that I’d did not need to be as tight to stop from driver slipping. To do this you purchase two more OEM wheels and the axle for a 3 or 4 wheeled comparable sled and two spacers. You can just slacken the track all the way, remove the bolt from one end and push the axle through the existing wheels, then add the two spacers, wheels and bolt back on. Adjust the track and tighten the wheel bolts. You can do only 3 wheels but it required different spacers and you have to take everything apart to install. 4 wheels seems to work best. Try the spinning track resistance as you go.
To add to that I have always removed all other deer wheels on the skid. They only add extra weight and make the hyrax wear unevenly. If your riding on powder or have your scratchers down on low snow conditions you don’t need them. If ever. Be easy on track tension.
