Keeping the tracks square with the ground and not curved up IMO will keep the track from pushing as much soil. I have no way of proving that to you but from what I've seen I think it makes a difference. The biggest benefit to the full width bogies is track life. The lugs wear evenly vs center first. The belts in the casing also don't continually flex upwards prolonging their life. You're also not gaining compaction reduction benefits from any part of the track that is flexing upwards. For the few extra bolts to torque it is definitely worth changing them. I'm going to be looking for aftermarket wide bogey wheels for our Lexion's terratracs. The 36 inch belts and the 30 inch belts use the same bogey wheels. I'm noticing accelerated wear to the center portion vs the outside.
