The tracks were about 1000 lbs each so they do add some wear and tare to the axles. But they do great at spreading out the weight of the machine on soft ground. I was however able to high center my machine on a snow pile with the tracks on and had to hand shovel my way off. Remember that there is very little ground clearance on these machines so if by chance you sink in with the tracks on you can still get stuck.Before spending the money look into heavy equipment chains and see if they will work for you. Much lighter and easier to install and remove if need be. They come in all sorts of configurations and the old loggers used them all the time on their equipment in the woods.</blockquote>
