Get On The Right Track

摘要

Wouldn't it be great if your skid steer always had perfect traction, never damaged turf or asphalt and didn't bog down in sloppy conditions? Tracking down the best solution for a skid steer can be tiring - should it be tracks, tires or both? Tracks give the best traction. Tires provide the most comfortable ride. Is it worth paying more to have both capabilities?rnThe answer isn't that straightforward. Different applications have different needs. Sometimes steel tracks are best, sometimes rubber. On other occasions, tires are the better option. It's important to look at the way the skid steer is used over time. If jobs always involve flat asphalt, tires should work fine. If a skid steer only operates on a golf course turf, rubber tracks would be best. Oftentimes, though, a skid steer moves among varying jobsites - or even a single jobsite with varying terrain - from asphalt to dirt to a steep, grassy hill.rnWhen variety is part of the job, over-the-tire tracks provide the most versatile option. Understanding materials, styles, sizes and features will get you on track to making the best choice for your skid steer.
