[QUOTE="Darren, post: 314075, member: 3250"] There was a comparison test done in France. I did upload it on here somewhere. Tracked combine vs wheeled. The tracks were more harmful through peak loadings. A tracklayer may be better when stood or levelled up with a dozer blade but any twin track is virtually the same as a two wheel drive tractor when pulling from 3 pt hitch. Nearly all the weight is on the drive wheel. The older flat track challengers when pulling from drawbar. Which is what a crawler is designed to do really. They're drawbar was pulling from up front, near the front idler thus keeping a better weight distribution. That's what I've found in 20 odd yrs of driving them anyway [/QUOTE]
