I need a machine with tracks (mud!). Until now I was favoring looking for wheeled machines and then buy OTT tracks for them. I assumed this would be cheaper and it'd be less maintenance. However I'm seeing some pretty decent deals on tracked machines as well (I'm looking at an ASV 60 with 2500 hours for 10k). At face value, getting a tracked machine would provide the lowest entry cost for me. Since I'm a homeowner/landowner, I don't really mind having to have some maintenance down the line as long as it's not a costly repair, but I probably also won't be putting on more than several hundred hours a year.
I don't think I'll ever run this on pavement, so I really don't mind running steel OTTs, but will I regret buying a tracked machine maintenance-wise?
