Yardmax track barrow anyone?

[Sawyer Rob]

$2200 I would be looking at buying a used 4x4 atv and a lawn cart.

For that kind pf money, I'd pay someone else to do the job!

One thing that limits the usefulness of this machine and others that are similar is that it/they are dedicated to one purpose. In this case, it's a tracked wheelbarrow. Orec America appears to use a similar track drive on one machine that's a trackbarrow, another machine that's a tracked flail mower, and still another that's a tracked snow pusher.

If someone were to build one of these that was essentially a tracked walk behind tractor that (a) could be converted to multiple purposes and (b) had a PTO to drive a brush mower, that would be more appealing to me.

Earth Tools lists their prices on their website. Generally, tracks for 2 wheel tractors are about $1,600. Could be some other costs involved, too. Wheel Accessories - Earth Tools

So the 2 wheel tractor is say $4,300, tracks are $1,600, and a cart is say $400, that's $6,300 versus the $2,400 yard max track barrow.

The machine Moss Road just posted has a lifan engine. Not sure what brand of track machine that actually is or what it costs.
