[QUOTE="Bob Horrell, post: 849, member: 135"] I had (still have, but want to sell) the open bar Grouser tracks. They are excellent in mud and regular dirt. They fell short in sandy conditions and there is a lot of that around where I work. I was always taking them on and off because of it. I have yet to take my VTS system off. The VTS system is more stable due a lot to the extra weight but also do to the much greater surface area in contact with the ground. They touch the ground well in front of and well behind where over the tire tracks make contact and they are significantly wider. We had the 100 year rainstorms here in Southern California right after I purchased my VTS system so I was able to use them extensively in areas where not much else could work. My timing was good. One of the things I do is build Motocross tracks and I just built one last weekend for the first time using the VTS system. It is like they were made for it. I charge more when using the VTS system and it is a good thing because I saved at least 30% of my normal time using these tracks. I will only take them off when I have a job that would really be difficult using them (and one that I just wouldn't want to do with my skiploader). Although pricey, for a guy like me they are ideal. I can't afford to have both a regular skidsteer and a track loader and this is a much cheaper way to go and have the availability of both machines. I have come up with a way to install and de-install pretty quickly so if you end up getting them let me know and I will tell you about my method. [/QUOTE]
