Abstract
The question of the use of tires and tracks on agricultural prime movers is again surfacing. The four-wheel drive market is growing fast, particularly in areas where crawlers have been popular. The relative performance characteristics of tires and tracks are compared in agricultural soil conditions. Compaction characteristics are studied and an overall cost/benefit analysis is made supporting the trend to four-wheeled drive tractors in the agricultural market.
