Don't have a 20 series but do have a late 10 series. No updates that I know of but you might get a 20 series owner to chime in. If you are going to put new tracks on it, about the only thing to look at will be the molded rubber on the idlers, boogie wheels and drive wheel. Might pay close attention to the front idler wheels as I have one that is cracked............stop drilled it but the crack when another direction. Have run it that way for 3k hours and see no need to change it. You might want to look for cracks in the "infamous" plastic hood. Mines still metal so don't have any problems. When replacing tracks, go with the Camoplast 5500 series...........taller lug, more of them and thicker belt............and more $$$$$$$$$$$, but worth it if you plan to keep it.

Last but not least, get ready for the rubbing about how rough they ride. Yes they do have there moments, especially on rough roads but in the field, the ride is acceptable.
Good Luck.
