1. very helpful cuold you go over attachments manly buckets teeth vs. none. snowblowers vs. plows. and maybe any other attachments you have . when you should use a smaller loader vs. a bigger one. and any other things that are pros and cons of loaders.
2. depends on your terrain....
3. I have worked with both wheeled and tracked and the thing that i did not like about track was that when you are grading rock it pops up and makes the track pop off and you have to drain the grease and pump the cylinders back up which take for ever. But I have had a wheeled bobcat and loved it because depending on what i was doing I could do it without screwing up by digging up property and having to pay back the cost in damage which sucks when you have to depend on that job.
4. what about compact wheel loaders
5. This dude doesn't know shit about track loaders.. apples to oranges.. it's like comparing a bulldozer to a dump truck.. stick to mowing lawns jackass
6. You suck I want to see a tug of war not your face
7. How expensive is a bobcat
8. I'm a volunteer and I do drainage bricklaying and shifting dirt and plumbing and also I am painting and plastering and that's a lot really Shae by the Nice to meet you stand
9. In the winter, I'd say tracks are better than tires. And I agree to disagree with you on them getting warn out in winter. The snow adds slight protection from the ground so they don't get warm out as much as summer. And personally plowing, there's better traction with tracks than tires
10. we can get at least 2000 hours on tracks and good luck plowing on wheeled. no traction.
11. did someone tell you about the pice of food on your lip?!?!?!
12. How much are the rubber tracks that go over the wheels?
13. I used to work at a tire shop down by the twin Cities. We had contractors coming in all the time for new skid loader tires. what we ended up doing was recapping most of their tires. with that you can select tread patterns, Hardness of the rub and some of the contractors that did a lot of pavement or highway work would have them filled with a heavy rubber compound. Now the compound can NOT be removed once it's put in but it adds a lot of weight.
    You can recap these tires multiple times as long as you don't let them get woren down to far before you do it again.
14. Bobcat has a new track suspension coming out 2017! Check it out! It should really improve firmness.
15. I love landscaping it's so fun dream job
16. Over the tire tracks may help you get around in mud a little better but not much more.
17. wheeled suck. you can get a set of tracks for 1100 for a set. been a contractor for years. owned them all. tracked at much nicer. in mud, sand, black top, rock, it's a win lose.
18. Your prices are way off on tracks. I can sell the tracks for around 800 each
19. the rubber tracks over tires have steel in them, they just are coated with rubber- essentially the same thing. so they have the same load on your equipment.
20. Howdy and thank you for the video. I am trying to decide between a compact tracked steer and a skid steer with tires. Years ago I had a 90 horse Thomas skid steer on a ranch we had in northeast, Wyomin' and it worked well for me. I was happy with it and loved the attachments like the backhoe. This time however my ranch location will be in the desert southwest and another ranch. Different environment. Lots of sand, rock and things that poke you and stick you.
    
    I am concerned about the tires getting lots of flats from mesquites, rocks, cacti and so on. That same material could be pretty hard on tracks as well. I will need to clear quite a lot of fence line that means clearing brush etc., and there maybe some moderate slopes involved. One thing is that tearing up the desert ground is a good thing because it can stimulate range grass growth, so no worries on that account.
    
    So I am pretty confused as to which one to choose. I would be interested in your thoughts and opinion as to what might be the best set up for me and also if you have had any experience with solid tires like here, http://www.earthforce.com/parts/search/default.aspx?ManuID=1&MachineTypeID=8&CatID=23
    
    Thank you and happy trails, Mike
