New Holland L785 Tracks Needed.... What do I do?

[tysonmatc2]

Long story short I built a new house this past summer, come spring I am going to need to do some major landscaping in my 1/2 acre yard. I own a 1994 L785, put new tires on it, but my yard is 100% sand and it's about impossible to get around without tracks. My "buddy" had a bobcat 863 with tracks that we used but that is not a possibility this spring since we are no longer "buddies" after he made some bad choices. My thought was to maybe buy a set of tracks, use them over the spring/summer then resell them when I am done. Can I get away with flipping the rims on this skidsteer or will I for sure need spacers? And will the same 12" tracks for a bobcat work on these skidsteers...?

tracks from Tracks plus and spacers from e-bay will cost you around 2000 , I would think after one summers home use you could resell them for about 75 percent of cost.

With standard Grouser or Loegering tracks, you can dish the wheels the other way and be fine without spacers. Brian

I know you can put the wheel on the other way but when I tried it on mine it didnt feel right.when I torqued the nuts. Kind of springy, so I didnt do it . Did you reverse yours Brian? If so did it work out ok?
