Instead of wheels these tractors run on rubber tracks which, according to the suppliers' information this gives a smoother ride on rough fields (diagonally across rows); a higher level of tractive efficiency over a wider range of soil conditions; more stability on hillsides (able to maintain traction); better manoeuvrability (zero turn radius possible) and easier implement hookup.
