I have a mid-90's New Holland L785 that seems to be in fairly good condition, but being new to Skid Loaders, I'm thinking that I'm doing an awful lot of spinning in muddy conditions, which I then have to compensate with a little more momentum or ease up on the bucket pressure, sometimes to the point of no material being moved. So it would seem that adding tracks would provide more traction and allow me to move slower again to get the work done, but I'm wondering what the trade off is in drive train wear and tear. All of my operation is on my farm, so its in the dirt and not on any tar/concrete surfaces.</p></blockquote><p></p>
