Here's something for the rig welder who has everything(Cactus)

Are you tired of getting stuck? Sick of being pulled out by a D8? Or worse yet, your buddies rival make vehicle, furthering the ammo he has to use against you in the "my truck brand is better than your truck brand" war?

Here's the solution, the Swamp Trax,

You would probably need this thing to get back to dry land when the Swamp Trax get bogged down.

I am not sure that thing will work with that new posi unit You are getting.

It depends on how they aranged the steering on the track unit.

You could build Yourself one of those...

Judging from the video it looks like one side drives the whole unit and the other side stays stationary.     Looks like it would HARD AS ALL HELL on the spider gears.   I already blew a set of spider gears out of my dana 80 and that got expensive quick.

Actually worked at a place that put rubber tracks on tractors.  The design was cool and worked pretty good for keeping the compaction down on the fields but it just added more parts for a possible break down
