Rivers, MB
We bought a 375 quad this spring just after seeding. It will pull our drill in spring and grain cart in fall. We ran it on the cart this fall and I was very impressed. The ride in the field is noticeably better than the 9180 w/ 650 metric duals that it replaced. It just seems to float across the field. When harrowing, the ride is substantially better than our other 4WD w/ tires because at the higher speeds (around 10mph), the tracks just glide over the rougher spots. The only place where the ride is a bit rougher is on the road but even that is far better than what i was expecting.

Anyone that i have talked to with the 2 track system that farms around potholes says that once you start to get sucked into the side of the wet spot, you're done. Either get another tractor or steer into the middle of it and hope to get through. Fine if you are pulling a scraper empty but not so good when pulling a drill in spring time.

I like the AMS side of the green stuff far more than anything that case offers. We have put a JD ATU into our stx because most of our other equipment is green. If JD offered an articulated track machine, we would have gone green.
