One thing to consider in the track vs. tire comparison, is the width of the area of ground affected. What I mean is that a tracked tractor with 30" tracks will affect essentially 60" of ground each pass. A tractor with 800s will affect a much wider area. While its possible that the ground pressure per sq. inch could be less under the 800s, you should also consider the width of ground affected on each pass. The importance of this issue in large part depends on the ground and the type of application you would be using this tractor for.

Just my 2 cents, in the Red River Valley where I farm, tracks seem to work better in most applications for us. Best of luck in whichever choice you make!
