OK, so enlighten me, what metric(s) did you compare and how did you calculate it (them).
Where did you get the research data and what intermediate conclusions did it allow you to draw.
i.e. Treads are good because they distribute the load and allow the weight concentration to be more central compared to a 4x4 system which decreases the energy lost to scrubbing the wheels without reducing forward tractive force. - Drivetrain Basics White Paper - Chris Hibner - http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/1443
Note: I am not trying to hijack this thread with a discussion of what is the "proper" amount center wheel drop, so lets leave that discussion for another thread.
