To answer how I operate it, I drive it like I own it and I have to pay for the repairs (which is true) so I am pretty gentle. I guess the more I think about it, maybe having tracks for some of the slippery work could be easier on my machine, because there are some times when I require a little bit of momentum because the traction isn't there. that would no longer be an issue. I am building a fairly small dike, only a couple feet high, but after placing the clay (a few inches at a time) I drive up on it to pack it down. I did a lot of work last year and it worked great. This year it is just a bit too wet, but waiting it out isn't working (just got another inch or so of rain today). If I could get a little better traction and spread the weight out a little more I could do a better job of packing it down smoothly and consistantly. I had just about talked myself out of this... but now I think you talked me back into it. My skidsteer is also my emergency vehicle during flooding times. If all else fails, I count on the fact that I can build up a dike with it. Having a set of tracks so I can build a dike rain or shine is probably a good investment. I guess one of my projects this weekend will be to swap the tires around and make sure that works ok. thanks! -Mr_C</p></blockquote><p></p>
