The larger machine and tracks would have been great in these conditions. Sometimes the ground was so saturated underneath, that it rolled like jello when I was driving over it. Ever so often I had to put fresh material on top because it was getting so soft and rutted up.________________________________________When I was in the dealer today looking to rent the MT50 and the salesman told me that they had just replaced the tracks on it with less than 200 hours because it was ran in rocky conditions. Tonight while back filling for a parking pad with tailings (large angular rock with mixed fines), I realized that I operate quit often in rocky conditions that may be abusive to rubber tracks. Up until now I was considering selling my 773 and buying the T300, but I will have to think about keeping the 773 for rocky conditions. I'll probably wait until early spring before buying a new machine anyway. Any experience operating your machines in rocky conditions? Did it present any problems or damage?</p></blockquote><p></p>
