Hello, new to the forum, great information.
I have a SVL65-2 on order, I spec'd it with wide tracks 15" versus their narrow tracks 12". Like most things there is a long wait and this is no different.
I use the machine on the farm for many things, including tree work in the yard around the house, in the timber moving brush and downed trees, snow removal and light dirt work. I am by no means an expert operator. I currently have a small Gehl skid steer that I'm replacing.
I spec'd the 15" tracks to have less compression on the yard and in the fields. Based on what I read the 12" tracks have 4.4 lbs of down force and the 15" tracks have 4" of down force
My question is, If the dealer comes up with a machine that has the 12" tracks before he comes up with a machine with 15" tracks, will I notice a huge difference in soil compaction? Does the .4 lbs make that huge a difference in say the yard?
thanks in advance
