[QUOTE="siduramaxde, post: 1623, member: 248"] Well I finally traded in my 863 f sieres on a T 200 G sieries this past summer. I was on a new lawn installation job and I kept making ruts so I went to the dealer and asked for a used T 200 and bought it. It is amazing in the dirt and does things that I didn't think possible. I would have never thought tracks would make this much difference but they do. There are a few things that I'm worried about. IMO it rides 2x better in the dirt than the 863 but it is 3x worse on pavement. I do lots of snow removal in the winter and I guess I will feel every little crack in those huge parking lots. I'm also going to have to replace the tracks in about 200-300 hours and I don't look forward to the cost and the actuall task of replacement. I have the service manual and it says that the idlers and rollers have oil in them and I have thought about replacing the oil but i think that can wait till I put new tracks on. I did check all the rollers and idlers and they seem to be in good shape and roll freely. I have cab heat, a/c, and stereo. When I'm in the cab and going at full speed (which is a tad bit slower than the 863) I can hear the tracks rattling. Can anyone shed some light on what I'm hearing?
