Overall Recommendation: Versatile Skid Steer Choice

summertime summery time Wheels the benefit to Wheels is to think about the rubber the cost of the rubber each tire cost you a maximum 250 bucks you spend more than that you're wasting your dollar bills ladies and gentlemen so don't be spending more than $250 per tire four tires is $11,000 to replace a set you're going to be going through those tires um you're going to want to use a tired machine when you're working on a street because every time a skid steer turns remember a skid steer does exactly what it skids as it turns it's wearing the rubber off the tires it's a huge factor to keep in mind um you're going to want to use them on demolition jobs CU if you stick a piece of rebar through a tire well you're you can plug it patch it and be on down the road it's not perfect you also want a tired machine if you need compaction plain and simple you're going to want to go with a track machine if you need to float if you don't want compaction if you need to be able to bulldoze or and grade just smooth like a tabletop a track machine is where it's at day and night there's there's amazing now there's a lot of different track machines out there and the hybrid in between them is tracks over tires now I'm going to personally go out there and tell you stay away from the steel tracks over tires I dislike them I have multiple sets of them sitting in my yard and last case Last Resort I throw them on one of my machines okay I do like the rubber tires the rubber tracks over the rubber tires ultimate versatility ultimate flexibility if you're going to buy one machine that would probably be the way to go buy the machine that has the dedicated tires and stick the tracks over the top of them and you can snowplow on the winter time you can wear your rubber tires out you can put new rubber tires on Save the rubber tracks P be able to pop them on and off it's just kind of The Best of Both Worlds but it's not quite as good as either one there's
