Hi, Folks.
Here is a link to a youtube video of a track wear simulation which might help some in understanding the various factors that influence track wear:



Just my 0.02.

That is very easy to follow and explains the added wear of running in reverse. I never doubted those of you that have seen it, but never grasped why.

But once your down the rabbit whole ended up watching several more vids on track wear and repair. I really wish I had the smarts to put up a link, the last I watch was a 10 minute add by RDO company (a multi state John Deere dealer) with the manager of one of their track shops saying "he would go to the ends of the earth to find hard to get undercarriage parts others say are no longer available". But was also made in 2013 so could be down the road years ago. Also let the Berco name be seen on tracks being worked on, insinuating they where a dealer for Berco then. Also had Cat high track machines in pictures.
