Yes you can use tracks on your 420 most tracks sets are geared for that machines engine size. This does mean you will have a even slower top speed though. My 2 favorite track kits out there are Treestand, ATV Tracks, XGEN, XTRACK, atv snow plow, Fabrications TJD’s or the

Had them for 1 yr on my 300cc Polaris Hawkeye. Slow but would climb like stink. Had them on a 455cc Polaris and it was a great performer. They're now on a 550Xp Polaris.

What a lot of guys don't realize is that your top speed is usually cut by 50%.
I normally cruise @ 14-16 mph. Fuel consumption doubles.

remember with tracks your final drive is restricted to the diameter of the drive wheel, ie the wheel you bolt to the hub, so if your quad comes stocks with 24" tires and the drive wheel is 12", you just had a 50% gear reduction, thus increasing tq, but decreasing overal top speed.

Nice to have accurate and informed input.
