Interesting discussion, thanks folks!

I understand your points about snow type but that's why we need to assume you are on asphalt. Then snow is not a factor.

Good afternoon everyone. There is a surprisingly polarizing debate within the snowmobiling community regarding the final drive ratio of snowmobiles as it relates to size of the lugs on the track. For the non-rider here the tracks have paddles that stick out from the track and they are called lugs. They extend into the snow and provide the traction to move the machine forward. Assume you are on asphalt, will the final drive ratio be affected simply by changing the length/depth of the lug?
