[QUOTE="A.G., post: 9899, member: 71"] My dealer would not recommend tracks over foam filled, but it sounds like your setup is doing just fine. The foam filled ones I was using felt like driving on water ballons, for lack of a better description. It was more noticeable with the loader arms up/going up with a load and a turn. (You aren't really supposed to executing turns, going up or at full height with a load, that's how loaders get turned over.) The Mclaren tires seem to sit at a wider stance, with the wheel offset they come with. I think that was by design to make more room for over the tire tracks. They also have a narrow footprint and no sidewalls sticking out, looks like they were made for the tracks. My old foam fillied ones would probably go a bit farther in the mud, due to more footprint. One other interesting note about them, is people notice the Mclaren tires. They always ask questions about them, and then of course the loader. One time, I had to stop at my tire shop, due to bad nail in my trailer tire. The loader was up there, with the Mclarens. The tire guys were checking them out, and one just shook his head (in defeat) and walked away. He knew I would not be coming in with flats on that machine. I thought it was very funny at the time!
