What are you calling pyramid tracks? High sprocket machines or pads with what looks like inverted angle iron on them? Pictures?

The pads

It's probably what works best for them in their terrain and soil conditions

Some call them ''swamp pads'' or ''rice pads''. They have lower ground pressure than single bar grouser pads, while giving some traction and flotation. They are often wider pads, than the single bar and triple bar track pads, for floatation (low ground pressure). It is a what fits the condition choice. Some in the states use them, if conditions warrant.

They may have less tendency to slide sideways on snow, so some sno-cats and groomers use that type of track pad as well.
