can rubber track machine push snow
Jim Dandy, It depends on the snow and the terrain. We got over 8 feet of snow last year and 90% of that came in 3 weeks. Dry/powdery snow..no problems. I was clearing driveways with over 3ft of untouched snow and as as long as it didn't get icy I had no issues. Last year was a fluke...- Axman

Converting old style shift lever to new style
Thanks for the reply's guy's. In my little mind, it should be as simple as slapping a new knob on and hooking the air lines up but Eaton Fuller shows a convertion kit you have to buy and some new valves. I just didn't know if I wanted the new style that bad to pay all the extra money and spend... -

Environmental Stupidity
And don't forget the burrowing owls! Should have seen the environmentalist with the owls "that were to stupid to put their nest in tree's"! They had every hole GPS'ed and if you were working anywhere near them they would flag each one like a Christmas tree and stand there to make sure you...- Axman

Environmental Stupidity
Turtle Training While I was digging at Edwards AFB in CA, we had to go to Turtle School before we could start digging. The entire crew had to go and you needed a sticker on your hard hat so the "turtle cops" could see that you had the training. If you didn't have the sticker you could be...- Axman

New Skid Steer Options
I've had mine down in some steep canyons picking out boulders and moving dirt and have never had any problems with being able to climb out of anything. Tell the salesman you want to demo it at a job sight and have him take it to one of your tracks and test it out. The only other option would...- Axman

New Skid Steer Options
I have a Tak TL 130 with an enclosed cab and love it for what I do. The 150 is a beast (almost 11k lbs and 97 hp, 23.4 gpm flow rate, 9k ft lbs bucket breakout force) and as long as you have a truck and trailer that can haul it with you would be fine. The only thing I see is getting out of a...- Axman
