Gotta have a laugh at those people who thought a tracked machine would do them any favors in the mud… I wouldn’t even bother taking anything with rubber tracks on it out if I knew it was muddy. It’s a good idea, don’t get me wrong, but all of the track manufacturers are really slacking when it comes to tread-design. The only thing I consider them truly useful for is harvest/post-harvest work on corn-fields, where tire-punctures are a major issue. There are some pretty dumb operators out there. My father taught me many years ago to walk out to a field or spot on a field that seems questionable as far as for traction. Rule of thumb. If the heel of your boot sinks into the soil, don’t go there with your tractor.
