From my experience on many brands of skid steer loaders and compact track loaders you first need to decide what you want to pay for one and also make sure you have a dealer close by that can get you parts when you need them. That being said I personally like the Deere machines the most. I personally have a 317 skid steer loader that has plenty of power (61hp) and never ceases to impress me with it's capabilities. I also have operated a CT322 (66hp) and it will lift almost twice the weight in the same sized machine.
What are the benefits of tracks? Flotation is great, the ride quality on rough ground is great too. You get twice the lifting capacity as well.
The down falls are rubber tracks actually get worse traction vs. over the tire tracks on a skid steer loader. Rubber tracks become ski's in the snow and are very dangerous on muddy or snowy hills (I have experience with this). Tracks also come with a very expensive undercarriage which has more components to wear out over time and requires a good greasing every so often to keep the tracks tight. Tracks also need to have the undercarriage cleaned regularly or components will wear out faster plus when you suddenly leave the work site to a more maintained area of your property it will leave trails of dirt that has rattled off the undercarriage as you traveled. Once tracks need to be replaced it requires a second machine to move the worn out tracks once they are off the machine and it also takes several hours to replace a single track if you have little experience.
The benefits of a skid steer loader with tires are a lower initial cost, tires are easier to replace and cheaper to replace/fix/repair. A skid steer with tires also has a smoother ride on hard surfaces and paired with over the tire grouser tracks it will get better traction than a CTL with rubber tracks. Skid steers also are several thousand pounds lighter, a similar CTL will usually gain 2k lbs. thanks to the undercarriage. If you were to get a skid steer stuck in the mud they are easier to remove (I have done this :ashamed
vs. tracks which make it harder since you can get things between the tires, under the tires, etc.
The down falls are less capacity (my 317 is rated at 2100 lbs. lift capacity) and the fact that you can get a flat tire (unless foam filled).
My overall vote would be a skid steer loader with grouser over the tire tracks, this combination should suit your needs well. :thumbsup:
