Well not being a rice farmer I may also be way off but I would say traction. As Paul said the lugs are much bigger and if you ever seen these guys in the field you would see what I mean. They take a tractor in places I would not go with a dozer. The combine has extra wide tires for flotation.
Remember they are working in a pond with levees all around. Yes they drain it before entering but the bottom seems to never dry so its a hard muddy pull at some times of the year.
They also have a boat with paddle wheel motor on it for harvesting crawfish.

I have seen a sugar farmer with a brand new Cat machine that looks like a rubber track dozer with out a blade for getting in the wet fields. Remember we get over 60" of rain a year.
