Guys, I posted a while ago about getting new tracks. I still haven't pulled the trigger. I'm running on worn out tracks. They are derailing once in a while, one is missing one of the metal links that the sprocket drives against. I am ready to do the deal. Prowler has a wide track option that I just now noticed. They run 1100 something per versus 800 something per for their normal width tracks. The biggest problems I have encountered are 1. throwing the track. 2. spinning tracks on steep terrain. 3. not enough counterweight. The machine can pick up quite a bit more than it has the weight for. How much, if any would the wide tracks help with these problems. When the machine is on the job (a couple times a year) it is doing mostly lift and carry work. When it's at my house, it's land clearing and general dirt moving. I do not put a lot of hours per year on it.
