This is what went wrong with my attempts to tip my cab with the farm tractor. not so much about weight, but leverage when attempting to pull with a raised attachment point, raising the other end of the lifting machine.  Tracks in snow ... Snow is not a regular  thing in my part of Alabama, & when it does, I try to stay indoors. Very rare for snow to last more than a couple of days, & generally, "they" close the roads any way. My steel tracks are a no-no on pavement. ( not that our counties roads are that great to start with!) But they really help in mud or rough terrain.</blockquote>
