[QUOTE="Mr_C, post: 29962, member: 3074"] Between this thread and a other thread on tire chains, I have learned a lot this week. I definately think that a set of chains is the cheap and easy solution to traction for the winter (although, I am not sure how much used the skidsteer will get, I have a boss V plow on my truck and didn't need to use a bucket at all the last 2 years. I will probably be buying a set of them soon regardless of what I do with tires/tracks It looks like tracks would be useful when building my clay dike next fall, although maybe tire chains would be useful there also. What about driving on lawns. much of my farm yard is fairly nice grass. I would like to minimize the damage I do to the yard when using the bobcat for chores like moving bales and cleaning the barn. Would I expect a metal track to do more or less damage to sod than a fresh set of tires? I also will have to see if I have 3" of inner sidewall clearance, that might make my decision for me. I think the boom and attachment clearance is fine, but not so sure about between the tire and the chassis. thanks guys -Mr_C [/QUOTE]
