I've been using a CAT 262B for all sorts of projects on my property in the mountains, but its most critical job is plowing snow.
There isn't a flat space on the property, so I've often thought a CTL would significantly reduce the pucker factor of summer projects, but I also don't think tracks are supposed to work on snow. How bad are they, really? This picture is a good illustration of what I use the CAT for in the winter. The arrow points to the top of the driveway. It's not too long, but it's pretty steep. The 262B handles it just fine. Up to about 3' of snow I can just use the pusher. More than that I have to use the bucket to pick up and move the snow. Between the CAT's 10,000lb operating weight and decent tires, I haven't even needed to bother with chains. Do you think I would be able to do this with a CTL?
