Now the wrinkle to this is which track is fitted to
the M60a3 in question.
Do a google on M60 and ground pressure and a number of
numbers come up as different tracks were fitted to
bring down ground pressure.
Remember the other reason to lower ground pressure is
not to set off pressure fuzed anti-tank mines.
