I wonder why it's articulated. Edit: drive shaft wear. It just seems to be an extra complication and harder to steer if not hydraulic assisted.

- pwr-electronics 5y ago> the articulated joint that was present in LifeTrac I - to allow long-life on the shafts - which experience much less wear compared to skid steering
- jcims 5y agoGiven they are using hydraulic motors on the wheels it could be easily converted to skid steer. The current configuration has very high ground pressure but low wear characteristics. Skid steer has high ground wear but supports the use of tracks which could reduce ground pressure and increase traction.
