[QUOTE="brdgbldr, post: 122862, member: 7474"] Tracks spread out the weight of the machine which can be hazardous on snow covered hills. The tracks act like sleds. The last guy I bought a skid steer from had just gotten rid of his tracked machine because he slid out of control down a hill and took out several hundred feet of fencing. He had no problems with his wheeled machine. I recommend a block heater on all diesel machines. A warm diesel block wears less upon starting the engine. You can even use it when it is not freezing out. You’ll notice a lot shorter glow plug countdown which means less wear on the glow plugs or air intake heater. [/QUOTE]
