Michigan | It's a fact it takes less power to turn a rubber wheel than it does to turn a rubber track system. However it's also not uncommon for a wheeled tractor to run 5-10% slip in heavy pulling loads. Where as a track tractor will stay at 0-2%. On our loose chisel plowed soil in the spring you can feel the 4wd tractor squirm going up sandy hills with the field cultivator. The quadtrac just grunts and pulls straight up the hill. | |
