[QUOTE="jklingel, post: 29984, member: 1409"] I just learned about sliding w/ steel tracks; these guys aren't kidding about that. I rented a 28,000 lb cat, and when I went to cut across a slight slope that was hard packed, frozen dirt, that cat slid 20' in seconds. I tried different angles of approach, too, and it was futile. As soon as I got any resistance, like when the corner of the blade finally dug in a little, the cat swung sideways and down she slid. Horrible machine for frozen dirt on a slope. I'd been pushing dirt around that corner and along that slope for days w/ my loader (w/ chains) and it was no sweat. After 5 or 6 attempts, I wised up and took the cat up on the flat and got some work done. In sloppy mud, even chains are not terrific. I would love to try tracks in that kind of stuff. [/QUOTE]
