We use them on a Bobcat.
Work great in the mud and soft stuff.
I find that for use on dry hard surfaces (pavement or concrete) the traction is worse than just tires and I also find that they seem to do more damage to turf when used in dry conditions. Also tires are far better for snow clearing operations.
On the plus side they increase the lifting capacity of the machine because they add about 1000 lbs of ballast to the machine.
I have also found that sometimes the mud packs up between the wheels and the tracks bogging down the machine until I reverse direction for a couple of feet to clear out the mud from between the wheels and track. I also have some clearance issues between the tracks and the loader arms when in the full down position.
When in soft or muddy conditions tracks are pretty hard to beat.
