I know of a couple of Articulating John Deere tractors in my area that have tracks on all 4 corners. Knowing how the sand can be in some areas it is not a wonder why. Even adding duels on all 4 corners sometimes will not fully transmit the torque output available to the ground without filling the tires with fluid, which some farmers are reluctant to do anymore because of soil compaction. By adding tracks they can gain 3 to 4 times the surface area on the ground without adding more weight per square foot even though they can make the tractor much heavier if need be, to allow them to pull the 60-foot-wide implements
But they want their cabs as high up as possible to be able to see what they are doing
