[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 2176, member: 307"] I don't know if this would be the thing to do for general bucket work, dozing digging etc where you need to push hard. I think it would be ok without tracks on the tall tires for this type of work. I know tracks on the 10" tires pretty much double the pushing power you have to fill the bucket. (Without them you spin a hole under each tire and you stop. With them you dig a trench on each side from the front to the back tire if you keep spinning, but generally it is alot easier to avoid wheel spin) Would likely heat your drive oil more because it would take more pump pressure to generate the same amount of pushing power. Bobcat has a good oil cooer though, so if your not in a desert climate, or working at max power a high percentage of the time, I think it would be fine. Would be great for auger work, tree spading, etc where axel torque required to acomplish the job is lower. I almost never remove my tacks in the summer, unless I work on concrete, In the winter i only run them for brushing snowmobile trails, I find tire chains on the back works better for most jobs.
