In most tracked vehicles the drive is split so that the left hand track and right hand track can be moved at different speeds or even different directions.
Originally in tanks it was achieved using differential gears but modern tracked vehicles such as earth movers and diggers use hydraulic drive systems that are driven by swashplate variable displacement hydraulic pumps.
By driving one side faster than the other the vehicle will drive in a curve. The difference in speed of the 2 tracks will increase the tightness of the curve. By rotating one track forward and one backwards, it can rotate on the spot.
