With reference to Motto's and David's posts about "live track", I don't have too much knowledge about tank tracks, and I agree they are "live" tracks, but not because of the way they are made, but because a tank track or "live" track "soaks up" what it travels over,(the bottom rollers move up over objects, and allow smooth passage over them) as opposed to a bulldozer that climbs up on to an object and when it passes its balance point it flops down the other side This is not a "live" track because it has a fixed track frame with fixed bottom rollers.
