[QUOTE="500K_773, post: 344, member: 33"] 864wood, I think as a rule skid steer loaders are heavy in the rear which allows them to lift such large amounts in relation to their size. The tires on skid steers create a pivot point which is probably much different than your machine with tracks. It seems that track machines are much more stable than wheeled machines because of the larger footprint. I believe your tracks is what allows you to "go against the rule" I know with tires, I have much more traction going in reverse up hills, even with a load in the bucket. Your tracks probably offer nearly the same amount of traction in either direction. I always back up steep grades and drive down face first. This is also what the owner's manual recommends. If the ramp gets too steep or soft, I can also push myself out backwards with the bucket. [/QUOTE]
