I battled it with Bret at NEAD, but not as his place. I've used it on grass, gravel and dirt around with no traction problems whatsoever. This is first I recall hearing about them having traction issues.

Why do you get better traction with metal tracks? Is it a different link pattern or more ground pressure?
