[QUOTE="rhittle, post: 79935, member: 11427"] Breaking traction isn't the problem. The problems starts before I put any significant power to the operation I'm doing. For example, yesterday I was grading the gravel driveways in the local cemetery. I was using a unique leveling tool we made that might look something like you would see on ball diamonds or grading horse arenas. It has a point in the front if I want to start doing a little light scraping on the middle hump of the drive. I would have to start with low rpms and go into the operation slowly and when I got a little momentum going I would increase the rpms. After scraping the hump out of the middle, I would begin spreading gravel with more finesse. Keep in mind I only have about a 6' wide 4" high iron bar that does the leveling. at times after gaining momentum the machine would start lunging again. Sometime I could increase the rpms and it would settle down but most times I would have to start all over. Never did I have enough material in the little scraper to break traction on a wheel loader let alone a track machine. Thanks! Ron H. [/QUOTE]
