[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 5603, member: 782"] as far as running tracks on a 773 with 12 x 16.5 you don't have enough clearance on the fenders , you can get some wheel extenders , which I have seen in 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 ''s offset , they bolt to the axle and the tire to them , this will get you clearance for tracks but could cause an issue with the increased width of machine if you are working in tight spots ,I do find the 10 x 16.5 works better with the tracks , and the 10 " tracks are alot cheaper to buy I know this as I wa a service manager of a rental house here in New orleans that also supplied machines with an operator , so I got a lot of seat time with different combinations of tracks , tires and machines ----the rubber tracks that are like a rubber band and slip over the tires to me are junk , Grousser or Loering steel tracks to me are the best ones [/QUOTE]
