[QUOTE="lostinnd, post: 294101, member: 1428"] Thanks for all of the comments guys. Some really good points being made. Especially regarding finding a clean used tracked machine. Seems like all of them were worked hard whereas there seems to be a number of decent wheeled machines that weren't used very rough. As much as I would like a tracked loader it is hard to justify at this time since decent used units are in the 30k range. The amount of maintenance for the tracks looks to be a pain. I wouldn't put many hours on but I am sure that would catch up with a guy. Once thing I have noticed is that running a wheeled loader on grass always tears it up, at least on that old Case I have used. Is there a trick or any way to cross grass with a wheeled loader and not tear it all to hell? Looks like I have to decide which is more important to me at this time...tracks or a nice cab with heat/ac. Might have to swing up to western ND and pick one up if things continue going south.
