Xm track blew apart

[sledneck__11]

2014 summit 146 and threw it in the shop and seen the track was destroyed it was fine 50 miles ago, sled has only 1400 miles. What could have done this? or has any one ever seen one like this? Gunna give my dealer a call on mon but i doubt warranty will cover a track

Also any body got a 146 track kicking around haha?

You may have had a small chance on warranty, and I stress the word small, but that little tear/rip to the right of the missing rubber says that you spun your track over something like a harrow which damaged your track. Mysterious things lay just underneath the snow and you won't see them.
Your small warranty chance has now disintegrated like an 850 bulkhead. Sawry.

This spot of the track is no where near the original damage spot

Looks like you hooked up on something pretty solid and sharp, kinda doubt you will get any coverage on that but worth the try.
I've blown a few tracks over the years and it sucks. Only once did i get warranty but on a delamination of the inside of the track in just a few miles.

Here is one that tore up from a couple years back

If it snagged tho would there not be damage to the surrounding lugs? The track is perfect other then there i could see it the damage continued for the next few feet or even onto the following lugs, on yur pick the damage contiues as the track spins on mine 6 inch issue and nothing else

There are puncture marks in the center. It looks like he snagged or drove over something that penetrated the track?

 

[sledneck__11]

Yup there is a very small hole no denying that i was just expecting more damage if it was snagged on something

What you are not likely seeing is the other damage that occurred to the top layer as it is now missing. The puncture was not the only result of whatever was ridden over. It could be just a coincidence that there is a puncture in the same area the lugs/delamination occured but the evidence is gone. Best guess it hit something or snagged something resulting in the puncture and weakened the entire area.

Here is one other spot on the track, no where near the original spot
