I've got about 7 mtres of conveyor belt withe tread on one side, I didn't even think of using it for a recovery aid, until you mentioned it, so thanks.

These are MkII upgraded version. They are good for self recovery if you are frequent visitor to sandy beaches but I don't think they're value for money.

Heck - they must've gunned it - never had that happen before - but can see how it would.

Let us know how it works if you end up using that conveyer belt would be really good, nice and strong.

As far as not value for money, I agree they are very expensive and I don't have them myself but If they get you out of your car getting swallowed by the surf then they are money well spent!

I'm gunna try and double it over with tread on both sides. It will be fun going out to get stuck intentionally.

Hi all,

We recently wrote a comparison between MaxTrax and TRED recovery devices. Anyone interested in main features, benefits and comparison of the two products can check out the comparison here: http://blog.mud-maps.com/blog/2013/c...x-trax-vs-tred It also includes reviews and opinions from our Facebook fans that have tired both products.

We hope this helps you all when making a decision on which recovery device to get.

Warm Wishes,
Maria from MUDMAP
