Yes Mattias, several definitely were in action.   Have seen several at 
tractor shows, primarily Portland, IN; they were on two-plow, or smaller, 
tractors. Doubt if current design would handle much larger HP.  Also, did 
not notice any dirt or dried mud on the tracks.  Herb

Those half tracks are really cool, you should be able to see some in action
if you search YouTube for "halvband".
