We're using a max 4 18hp 26" tires it works extremely well on reeds and the reed beds but when we move closer to the water and we have less reeds to drive ON, we have a problem with the tires breaking threw and bottoming out the machine. We know we need tracks but at first we thought we needed traction but now we're wondering if it's more about ground pressure and staying up on top. So the tracks with the spacing to let the mud out (traction) vs the tracks that are solid that has a bigger (footprint) is what we are questioning now. Yes we watched all the you tube videos and saw guys with all different kinds of tracks going threw different things but we're more for the working aspect of this. Give me your thoughts please. (Ps we're not driving over trees and threw the woods just acres of phragmites)
