I think they could make for a rough ride. It looks quite an aggressive tread, unlike the OEM steel options. That's got to put more strain on the drive line.

I think they look pretty interesting, especially if you're constantly mulching or working in rock.

The rollers are designed to run on rubber , what would the steel do to them as they arent designed for it . That is my question

Kind of, but don't the rollers really run on the steel imbedded cleats in the rubber? Not saying it wouldn't wear faster, just looks interesting...

So...what's between the track motor and the sprockets?

That's a great question, unless he has an MTL with the squirrel cage....

im always in dirt/rocks myself. Looks interesting. Im hesitant to buy anything new without much history especially if expensive.
