And when you track your machine....at least it naturally balances the load of the steel crossers.
I feel dumber just reading this. After 3 times through, it still sounds to me that you are claiming that the heavier steal tracks provide more flotation than the lighter uhmd tracks in water. Increased weight without increased water displacement will always = less flotation. If your goal is to help inform people, can we use clear facts or at least opinion based on supported facts.
