I was told track life is extended as it does not have to make a 180 degree turn. Also if/when a final drive fails/needs rebuilt R&I is a matter hours vs days. Large operators overseas and dealers normally have rebuilt final drives on hand. It has beed 20 years since it was explained to me but in an overseas environment with hand tools only a final drive failure was a nightmare.
Komatsu was coming on strong as a competitor then (have since faded) and Cat needed something to make their dozers different and better. Imagine marketing had some say in it too.
