Wondering why?????
Can't help to notice that much higher % of gray market mini excavators ranging from 3 ton to 6 ton come to north america with well used steel tracks and/or rubber pads. Yet very minimal % of same size machines in north america have rubber tracks. Any idea why?
I would much rather have a machine in the 5.5 to 6ton range with steel tracks/rubber pads than rubber tracks. For example, looking at JD60 D/G, there is one used machine in all of Canada with steel tracks. They're so rare. Wondering why.
