English term or phrase: a tracked vehicle
A tracked vehicle is a vehicle that runs on continuous tracks instead of wheels. Typically used as part of an Engineering vehicle once additional attachments have been added. The principal design advantages of tracked over wheeled vehicles are that they are in contact with a larger surface area than would generally be the case with a wheeled vehicle, and as a result exert a much lower force per unit area on the ground being traversed than a conventional wheeled vehicle of the same weight.

vehículo con tracción de orugas


Explanation:
Es mucho más técnico así, y así se usa también en los manuales agrícolas donde este tipo de tracción es muy usado.
Por eso coincido más con "cranesfreak".
