A few years ago, 1064 went with 3" belts and wanted to do 4 tracks that could pivot and "stand up" so it could turn. Didn't work so well though...but I hope you guys have much success.

They have a pneumatic in the front to help turn. My old team, 573, did this in 2003. Except we had about 44in of tread to floor contact. It worked great and turning was never a problem.
