You can see how even a narrow (17”?) version of that track style can pull and clean out in the mud. I build lots of those for locals (alaska) with extra wide belts, 1-1/2” uhmw, and full thickness through bolts. You can make the track extra wide and aggressive but extremely easy to drive and skid turn with a width equal to the tire itself. Fixed position guides and no sticks that can fall between guide tips, getting leveraged into tires. Can also be run flat as well. Thanks for any info, it’s been awhile since I have seen that machine, but have always considered it a mild version of what we use up here, simply because it works amazingly well and is extremely dependable-
I hope to go on a ride with you guys some day-Jeff
