Probably not.... but we do all the time. We have to slope our ditches so that the mainline hoe can sit on the edge and dig water and sewer services. And..... its fun too!
Hmmmm a high drive track loader...... No. Not now.... not tommorrow.... not ever.
If you have spent some time in a rear engine track loader like a 953/63/73 you will never want a hi drive model. You already sit very high on the machine platform. Trackloaders are narrower in their size class than a bulldozer, so working on slops is a different feeling. Any angle feels much steeper than it actually is because your so high... and sitting any higher would not be fun. If you still want to play with a Hi Drive in a track loader come to Edmonton... I have a 973 you can play with. Put it on any slope... you'll never think of it again. You'll start designing the low profile undercarriage track loader.
