I was just wondering how well it paid off to run a machine with rubber tracks on it. It seems unfortunately that any skidsteer running tires seems to get stuck very easy in mud or light snow. I see people running steel tracks over their tires all the time but im told the huge down side is the metal tracks over tires eat up tires sidewalls and tread over time.
How well do rubber tracked loaders (skidsteers) do on snow and ice compared to similar machines fitted with tires? How would a rubber tracked loader compare to a 4wd compact utility tractor in mud or snow?
Im a lot more of a tractor man myself. I don't own a skidsteer but have operated a tracked loader. I really like how much it could push, pull, and lift easily and fit/ turn in small spaces.
