Wisconsin | Tracks get my vote. We had wheeled machines for years. Now have one wheeled and one track. I think the wheeled machine is getting traded off for another track machine soon. Like someone said, the only time wheels are better are on roughly finished concrete. Smooth concrete isn't a problem. Even pushing snow I don't notice a huge difference.
You specifically asked if tracks are worth the money to smooth the ride in the field. Without a doubt YES! At the end of the day you don't feel like you got thrown around the cab all day. Another advantage to tracks that I didn't realize is how stable they are with a heavy load. Without the bounce of air filled tires, you can be lifting the max of what it's rated for and not have it feel unstable.
It's amazing how well you can level dirt with tracks vs. wheels as well. Also, you can never have a flat. We just helped clean up a barn fire and it was nice not to have to worry about driving on a nail. The list of advantages of a wheel machine is very small IMO.
