My tracks are fine.....and I am super careful about what I am operating on. You hear the stories about super expensive rubber tracks and repairs on bobcats and such, but mini X's dig more than move. As for the ply wood, you could probaby use 2x12"s and just keep relaying in sets of 3 to keep the wood moving time down to a minimum. Also, clean your tracks often meaning the rocks and built up mud so they don't rub. I leave my machine where it is if it is too far away to keep bringing it back home. The rubber tracks seem to smoosh/ smear the grass worse than steel tracks, probably cause the smooth rubber surface as opposed to ribber metal grousers.
