All kinds of fall now.

Well... we bought a skid steer, comes with tracks to go over the tires... 2 chains for the tires (yeah, yeah... only 2, kid 3 says he can make up 2 more chains for the other tires), also comes with a huge blower, and a bucket, and a fork.

Looks in great shape.

Kid 3 jumped right in, spent a couple hours on the driveway. He scraped off the humps and filled up the dips.

Kid 3 has already worked with and on a variety of heavy equipment, never before a little skid steer.... but HE said it was pretty easy to figure out.


:lol:

I hate change... but I am kinda excited about learning something new.

I would think you would want the tracks mounted in the winter, not sure when you would need chains instead.
We were discussing. .. I think no tracks in snow, since that would make it float more. I would think you would want tires with chains in snow so it bites more into the road and can push harder.

I guess you can try both ways :D I don't know about float, I figured the tracks have much more surface area on the ground so they would give better traction.
