Default Re: Ground Pressure / Compaction

I would say if you were comparing an equal weight tractor and track skidsteer the skidsteer is going to have the lesser ground pressure. Simply because the tracks have a greater foot print than a normally equiped tractor and therefore more area to spread out the weight of the machine. Unless you could get tires on the tractor that would effectively give you the same contact area as the tracks, the tracked skidsteer is going to have less ground pressure.

Sincerely, Dirt
