You reckon 3mm would be enough for a 1.2 tonne machine?

To stop it marking firm ground - yes. 
As a load-bearing ‘bogmat’ to aid flotation across soft ground - no. 
Either way you won’t break the stock board with your digger, it is incredibly resilient.

Plastic bags or tarpaulin layer on surface were you are going to run tracked machine is what I meant.

Right, yeah got ya. Just out of interest I know you have a giant loader, do the tyres mark on that?

Not really noticed if they do. But most of the time only ran over them in straight line.

I have a old shape avant if the hydraulic difflock is in it will mark surfaces on turning, more so if carried out at more than very slow speed.

Late to the party, but I can 100% vouch for the stock board option. Virtually indestructible, won't rot or splinter, easy to move once you've cut some handle into them, light enough to lug about, lay flat on your trailer floor and not particularly expensive. What's not to love?
