IMO the big unknown is traversing the rough terrain in this setup - if the open edges are really as sharp as the field tour suggests, then the pneumatic tires and any tread solutions need to be REALLY tough.

Wondering, why would the field elements have sharp edges? Wouldn't the people who make the fields debur them using a file for safety reasons? And in that case, would an alternative option be to use performance tread, or is that not helpful for some of the defenses?
Also to MikLast: If you do end up making a custom tread drive, brecoflex.com seems to give the option for custom treads, including the option blue roughtop. I only been there once or twice to explore, but they could provide the resources for such a drive.
