[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 2879, member: 307"] Wow I could spend a hour here. Here goes Hawg I have a 60" kingkutter.com tractor pto mower that has ben modified to drive hyd from my skid loader, have used it on both a 753 and a 773. I run over the tire steel tracks to help out on soft ground. I think this combination is more durable in rock then a dedicated track loader and repairs when they come with tires and steel tracks will be alot less.
