When Wheels Won’t Do: Why the LogLogic Softrak Belongs on Your Sensitive Ground
Every land manager eventually meets the piece of ground that punishes conventional equipment. Wet prairie. Reed bed. Restored wetland. Fragile pasture in a wet spring. You know the spot — the one where a tractor tire sinks two feet and takes a chunk of the habitat with it when it climbs out. That’s the ground the LogLogic Softrak was designed for.
LogLogic, based in the UK, has spent decades building tracked, low-ground-pressure vehicles for exactly this kind of work — and Falcon Equipment & Supply Company is proud to be an authorized LogLogic dealer right here in Ogden, IL.
Two Machines, One Idea: Do the Work, Leave the Ground Alone
The current Softrak family centers on two tracked platforms. The Softrak 75 is powered by a 2.9-litre 75 hp Deutz TCD engine and carries a spacious 3-person cab with suspension seating, heat, and ventilation. Its hydraulic PTO delivers up to 130 l/min at 400 bar, it lifts up to 600 kg, and its chip bin holds 6 m³. The Softrak 140 steps up to 140 hp and roughly 30% more capacity for the biggest reed harvesting, mulching, and habitat jobs.
What ties both together is the running gear: high-strength steel construction, Bridgestone rubber tracks, and floating bogies that let the tracks flex to the contour of the ground. The result is remarkably low ground pressure — the Softrak floats across surfaces that would swallow a wheeled machine.
What You Can Actually Do With It
LogLogic designs these machines for the toughest low-impact work in the industry: reed and willow harvesting, weed cutting and mowing on fragile ground, mulching scrub up to 40 mm, snow ploughing, and large-area habitat management across fens, uplands, and delicate ecosystems. For land managers in Central Illinois — municipalities managing detention basins, conservation groups working restored prairie and wetland, private landowners on CRP acres, park districts, and contractors doing habitat work — that translates directly into jobs you probably can’t do well (or at all) with a conventional tractor.
Built to Last on Wet Ground
Because these machines live outdoors and often in the wet, LogLogic finishes components with shot-blasting, zinc coating, and polyester powder coating. That’s a long way of saying: they’re built to keep working after seasons that would rust ordinary steel to nothing.
