Tires usually have thicker treads and heavier contact patch (psi), which mess up turf more so than a track machine (assuming identical machines, one with tires and one with tracks). The MT 55 is fairly light, but a tarp will not save the turf...machine will likely rip tarp on a turn. Plus, if your digging, you need traction, and a tarp will make matters worse...jmho Really depends on what your doing...if digging a single hole I'd take some effort to preserve turf (using a tarp/ply to hold spoils from dig, having machine on plywood). But if your doing a long trench or a large dig, I'd do as SR suggests and talk to HO. Cool little machine...didn't know BC made those...</p></blockquote><p></p>
