OFF ROAD VEHICLE TRAFFIC: "TRACK"
headline bar

Off-road vehicle traffic ("Track") -Track disturbance was tested by driving a WWII-vintage jeep back and forth across test sites at speeds between 5 and 10 kph. Each point on each treated plot was run across twice by two wheels for a total of four wheel passes. Tire inflation pressure was kept standardized at approximately 15 psi. Track type training should be used with caution wherever it is located since it has the highest and longest lasting impact on all types of soil.
