On soft ground, the tracks would have the advantage.
And lets not forget that tires do not wear out as fast as tracks, nor do they make as much noise or steal as much power and they have better top speed than most track designs.
It wasn't really until the modern kevlar reinforced tracks came out that they could match speed with wheeled tractors/dozers.
Great watching here again.The last push tractor looks to be a whole design generation ahead of the traditional style,what year would it have been developed?
would they push as well as a tracked dozer?

Depends on the surface, on asphalt, probably yes.
On hard ground, it would probably be a toss up.
On soft ground, the tracks would have the advantage.

There used to be a company called Fenwick that had a rubber tired dozer like that. They used it for snow plowing up until the mid 90s.
