LGP low ground pressure. Means it has wider tracks.

Southern Illinois		Track Roller Frame is completely different to support the wider tracks. XL is longer than an LGP but not my much. Used to build them on the fabrication line I supervised in East Peoria.

White Stone, Virginia		Sealed and lubricated is called SALT. A Low Ground Pressure track can be SALT or not. SALT is nice because they last longer, but they also cost more up front. LGP is good on soft ground, but can have traction issues on harder ground as the PSI is so low it may not have enough weight to push the grousers into the ground. Think of it as the same issue with tractor ballasting and duals. You run out of traction before you run out of HP.
