Ideas yes ... You aint experienced TTS until you have tried to get it to
drive.

My Hetzer was tensioned up as much as I dare and it could drive on
concrete and turn ok.
Got onto mowed grass [ short ] would go in a straight line but not turn
..answer more tension!.
Got onto short grass [ 1 - 2 ]inches would go in a straight line but not
turn ..answer more tension!!. 
Got onto long grass would go in a straight line but not turn ..answer no
not more tension <grin> insufficient power in the KCMS so now needs more
power.

I had in the end got enough tension to bend the sides if the top is not
on and the whole thing creaks like a sailing ship.

Paul ' add the tension ' Needham

So does weight of the chasis seem to affect an ability to skid turn
guys? 
Does the vehicle's weight on the roadwheels help to keep the TTS tracks
from 
slipping off?  In about 4 inch high grass my Shermanchasis wantto
twistthe 
tracks off.   any ideers?
