    Just my experience but I tried after market tracks (solid deal) on my T300 BIG mistake!!! Go back with OEM Bridgestone, you cant beat them. Just wondering how long did your originals last? Mine went for a little over 1600hrs and the after markets lasted 600hrs big difference!!!!

    Moving 955k

    Yeah a 20ton tag will handle it no problem! And as far as Height, unless North Carolina is different than TN that shouldnt be a problem. I have a buddy that pulls his 6R and 963 on a 25 ton tag all the time.
