I have never had any experience with them on a vehicle, but I did ride a Honda ATV with a set of Matttracks about 4 or 5 years ago. It literally would go anywhere, but slowly. Those tracks didn't like any speed at all on dry terrain. The ATV felt very "jerky" and abrupt at anything over a slow crawl. This was on a mixture of gravel, dirt, and woods terrain. Maybe in snow they may be better though, or mud.
going to work on iron mule this weekend if anyone gets bored .. mostly replacing the front axle bearings and seals......

dude if you build a set of tracks and it works or need a guinney pig let me know cuz i would really like to put trax's on my m715 :D
ha who thought it would be so hard to find a 2 1/2" socket for the axle bearing nut........ggrrrrrrrrrrrr
have you checked sears or a generic auto parts store like VIP? there are quite a few available online, around $20-$30 which is a lot for a single socket! I know sears has them, but expensive. I remember seeing somewhere (not sure if it was on here or not) but a guy took some pieces of flat stock, welded them together in a hexagon to make the socket and then welded a straight bar along the face to turn it. May not be the easiest but i thought it was pretty clever and certainly cheap... also, when you get into sizes that big, if it's a few sizes too big, it will still work ok but isn't great. Seems like 2 5/8 is a more common size for lock nuts?
i feel i should have gotten rockwells when i had the chance.........lol
ok ok so i got a little redneck and put a stack on my truck lol
