[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 27990, member: 307"] Most ctl owners budget $10 to $15 per hour for undercarrige wear, above and beyond the regular maintenace cost. Its not just tracks, sprockets and idlers also figure in there. Also drive motors command a hefty price compred to the wheeled counterparts. There is no doubt a ctl has better stability on hill and better floatation on soft ground. Thats the two places it needs to accel for you to justify the price. As for size I think your looing in the right class. I would suggest renting both a ctl and a wheel machine with steel tracks and seeing how you feel in them and if they meet your expectations.
