Great ride but lots of little expensive bits spinning under great tension in mud and rocks. The full report would include undercarriage rebuild costs over 5000 hours. The test is biased because any good operator would change the conditions rather than endure them. That's what the bucket is for. Smooth out the work route. Any operator who doesn't do this you wouldn't want to hire anyway. Skids are all about cycle times, and CTLs are all about cycle times, traction, and stability. Smooth work routes are something you need to create and maintain. Funny how many people don't get this. The cat vid is like the JD video where they ran three skids into a pile of dirt until all but the JD stalled. This was supposed to show JD's reserve torque. What it really showed was what are not supposed to do. Didn't prove anything. Pure advertising.</p></blockquote><p></p>
