Still applies. But tracked vehicles can go on soft terrain better than wheeled... unless wheeled has very large flotation tiresOk, that makes sense. But I thought we were talking about a "small" tracked vehicle the OP suggested like a M29 Weasle.
Not gonna go far in the more dense timber in both Oregon and WA lol. may be too heavy for some of the trails, certainly will be OK on fire roads and gravel roads and out in the wide open spaces though. Definitely gonna be stuck if on the main highways with everyone blocking the way and being stupid.<broken link removed>
Exactly. Does anyone here really think roads are gonna be fine when theres a natural disaster? Look what happened during the 8 days of snow and iceSeems like if the roads are that screwed up then you wont get very far on a two track or similar type vehicle.
What is the advantage to having four tracks instead of two?View attachment 339625
This is how we get around up here during the winter, I can swap tracks in about 1 hour and be able to travel on pavement with out damaging the road or the tracks!
Steerability. Easier to steer front 2 tracks than to try steering whole track assemblies by way of differential braking and possibly gearing via dual transmission or some such. (Varying gear ratio side to side)What is the advantage to having four tracks instead of two?
