[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 2157, member: 307"] I have the above loader with the std 10.5 x 16.5 tires and steel tracks. I was wondering if anyone has ever run 12.5 by 16.5 tires and tracks or any other oversized tires with tracks. I'm drilling fence post holes in soft ground and need more floatation. Loss of some forward power wold not be a concern (a result of the larger tire diameter). The other situation that a tall (but narrow) tire would be good is for snow removal. I drove a 773 g with the 12.5 tires and a tree spade on it and the ground speed was noticably faster, (maybe 9mph instead of 7) and usually the traction is to poor to notice the loss of power. Of course the std tire would be better for applications where you need to push hard. I'd love a dedicated track loader too, but with people changing under cariages at 1000 hrs or so, I think I'll stick with tires for a while yet. ken [/QUOTE]
