- Even distribution of weight across the lower structure, provides less stress on the weld joints between the X-body and the track frames
- Tractive effort to maneuver through deep snow, swamps, or steep slopes
- Multiple configurations of track pad widths and number of grousers to match customer needs
- Two-speed automatic shift travel motors
- Optional tri-tracks reduce track twisting
Easy to reach serviceability
