[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 4650, member: 307"] If your machine has a rated lift of 1800, it will actually pick up twice that at the “tipping” point. But the weight of the attachment come off of the rating, because the manufacturer has no way of knowing how heavy various attachments are, especially if you are using other manufacturers attachments (most of which interchange btw.) Over the tire tracks on your 10” tires will give you more traction then say 12.00 tires. A 12.00 tire will reduce the torque or “rim pull” the machine can develope by whatever the difference there is in circumfrence of one tire compared to the other. A taller tire will also mess up the way the bottom of the bucket was designed to lay flat on the ground, which makes it much easier to shave a level cut in virgin soil. All that being said I have been thinking of trying 12.00 rubber on my 773g for soft ground doing auger and backhoe work. I think it would be ok for grapple work so long as it not really tough rolling, you might over heat the hydros if you push real hard all the time. I was going to try steel tracks on them. But I will keep a set of 10.00 tires and tracks around to, or leave one machine set up each way. I run the tracksplus.com tracks and have had good service out of the for the price. 400 hours or so now and 20% worn I'd say Ken [/QUOTE]
