[QUOTE="Earthwerks Unlimited, post: 19737, member: 1300"] What you may want to try is inflating the tires more. This makes them more rigid so thay have to slide sideways verus being soft and dragging the sidewalls sideways. A softer tire will act like a spring when the machine stops it wants to pull back to where it came from. Being soft is like holding a large eraser and pulling it side to side while following a pencil line---hard to do. And the front-to-back weight distribution is critcial too. My old L555 was breeze to operate on hard surfaces because it was designed, as the owners manual stated, to have more rear weight when unloaded, then shift the wieght toward the front when loaded--it even said getting rear wheels off the ground is ok! I usually have steel tracks on my Ls185.b and when they're on there is absolutely no sideways skittering (just made that word up) [/QUOTE]
