re: Pros and Cons of Tracks for SxS

Is it really any different from the tracks on nearly every rice combine in the delta?

Pro- you can drive it through anything and it will go anywhere.
Con- ground speed is reduced significantly
This.
You can definitely get to places you couldn’t before. But don’t get stuck or break down because no one is getting to you.
You have to go much much slower. And you can’t jump ditches or hit obstacles at speed or you will break shite.
Also, it consumes more fuel. Probably not a huge concern for most people, but just something to be aware of.

Trying to decide if I want to put tracks on the new side by side or not. Are they loud? Do they hinder turning radius? Who has them and love them? How do they perform on a road? If they won’t be in snow that much is it even worth the extra cost?
My pioneer 1000-5 goes everywhere I can think to go, so tracks have never crossed my mind. Snow is not a concern in my area. The few times I've been on trail rides in ATV parks, I haven't seen any tracked SxSs in the mud bogs.

If you will stick with gumbo soil when it's dry it will stick with you when it's wet.

When I was working for a snow goose outfit in Arkansas in 21 we had SxS with tracks and that was some of the worst mud I’ve ever seen in my life. They can get through damn near anything, just don’t be in a hurry.

Ahhh, I may know a thing or two about this also….
Although the premise is the same, Case IH, Deere, and Claas spent hundreds of millions of dollars perfecting something that Case IH launched in 1996. And to be honest, rubber track systems weren’t really super awesome and reliable until about 2006 or so- hence why Deere waited so long to copy the Quadtrac…and the important patents had run out.
A SxS track is Camso et al saying- “Hey, that looks cool, let’s do it!”

What smooth said, they are slow and will go thru mud better than an argo. When we hunt fields farmers only want tracks so we dont rut up the field. They also work really well in snow probably not a concern for most on this board.

I've probably put 1k miles or so in snow. They work well... Until you start sliding ehen going downhill. Good luck powering out of that. 
I just run the tallest widest tire I can fit on my sidebysides. All terrain tread.
A bike on 35s can go most places. And eith the all terrain tread, not tear up too many things/the ground.
