Some Advantages of Tracked Tractors vs. Wheeled Tractors: To give you an example of its superior traction, typically wheel-type tractors operate with ground slippage in the 12 to 16% range. QUADRAC® tractors operate in the 2 to 3% range, under load. QUADTRAC tractors eliminate the need for weighting and ballasting and increase time that can be spent in the field. QUADTRAC tractors are easy to transport. Its narrow, 10-foot wide footprint is much narrower than other wheel-typed tractors with double or triple tire configurations, making it excellent for transporting equipment, going through narrow gateways and conserving winter storage space. On the road, QUADTRAC tractors match transport speeds of rubber-tired tractors. In fact, speeds of up to 20 mph are possible, making movement between fields quicker. If you should ever have to change a track on the QUADTRAC tractor, you can do it in about 45 minutes — less time than it takes to change a tire on a 4WD tractor.
