Decide Between Tires and Tracks

What happens here

The presenter tackles the ultimate question: tires or tracks? He demonstrates a tracked Bobcat T180 working on a steep, muddy embankment near water, highlighting that this job would not be possible without tracks, as tires would offer insufficient traction and floatation. He shows how tracks provide superior floatation and traction in soft, unstable conditions. However, he warns that dedicated tracks can damage hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete and are expensive to replace if damaged.

Goal: Understand the trade-offs between tired and tracked skid steers to match equipment to typical working conditions.
