[QUOTE="Totally Stumped, post: 6683, member: 332"] I'm looking at running the Mclaren Magnum tracks on my S220 Bobcat for better digging/pushing power in mud and sand. I'm concerned about the driveline wear, loader arm clearance and the weight of the tracks with the machine's limited horsepower in deep mud and sand. What would happen if I switched to 10x16.5 tires instead of the original 12x16.5 and ran the Mclaren Magnums on the smaller tire? Would this save me weight and reduce possible loader arm interference issues? Would a narrow track still be more effective in mud and sand than the original 12x16.5 tires? The Magnum tracks are really thick so I think i would get my original ground clearance back even with the smaller tires. We would be running 100% of the time with the tracks on in our application. Good or bad idea? [/QUOTE]
