I have seen photos of the tracks on different owner's machines and some have the V shape tread design facing one direction and some the opposite. Is there a correct direction for the track tread design?

The Mudd-Ox tracks have been proven to swim faster with the V-shape lugs facing backwards. Matt Oxender who builds the Mudd-Ox originally installed his tracks with the V-shape facing forward for maximum traction, but later found out if he installed the V- shape lugs facing backwards this would increase the water speed almost double.
So, it sounds like if I'm not in deep water much, it would be better for traction with the point of the V facing forwards.
My experience is to always run them tractor style (v running backwards) they shed mud better this way and also swim better. In reality they have so much traction it is virtually impossible to get stuck with them on. I have had it where I could not move forward but could back out and this has only been in snow. As i know you own a 2010 diesel you have plenty of power to push them through swamps, mud and snow with ease.
enjoy and be safe
