SE South Dakota
Tracks are expensive only the day you write the check. After that day they pay you back with each use, less compaction.

We had a real muddy harvest here last fall. Neighbor with a much smaller cart with tires complained that they would get stuck with 1/2 loads on the cart. We were never stuck with the cart that is probably twice the size of the neighbors, filled full most of the time. Tracks on ours.

Year in year out we should not be this wet at harvest. But the less compaction of a tracked cart even on dry soil is what sells me on the tracks.

Nearly the only way to go for me.

A distant second would be very large tires, likely tandems.

Good luck, Jim J
