A track system includes a frame, a drive wheel assembly, an idler wheel assembly, a support wheel assembly, and an endless track. The drive, idler and support wheel assemblies are rotationally connected to the frame. The support wheel assembly includes inner and outer laterally spaced wheels. The endless track, which surrounds the frame, the drive, idler and support wheel assemblies, has a longitudinal center plane defining inner and outer lateral sides. The endless track has a contact patch for engaging a ground surface. The contact patch is defined at least by the support wheel assembly that is configured such that a center point of a width of the contact patch is offset from the longitudinal center plane, and is disposed on the inner lateral side.
