Heavy Equipment Comparison Tracked vs Wheeled Skid Steer.
What happens here
This step focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of traditional wheeled skid steer loaders. Wheeled loaders are highlighted as ideal for working on hard surfaces like concrete for demolition, street projects, or bouncing over curbs. A significant benefit is the lower cost of replacing tires compared to tracks. However, using tracked machines on such surfaces risks expensive damage to the tracks from sharp debris like concrete, potentially costing $2,000 per side.
Goal: Identify suitable applications and cost implications for wheeled skid steer loaders.
