Subject: Re: So much good talk about tracks what is the bad.



I have only demoed the Cat (Challenger 85) & a Quadtrac but was not all that impressed with the 2 track settup for ride. Sorta reminded me of how a dozer rode when you came into or out of a waterywat. Know of 1 9400T that had the whole front weight package break off when ot dropped over the ridge coming out of a waterway. No doubt it was partly operator fault but that was a problem I didn't see as much in the Quad. Also saw a Cat which the operator broke out the back window with his head.

I'm not pushing the Quad-Trac as we ended up going with a 4wd of another color. Nor dissing the Cat as my daughter & SIL are both Cat employees and each make a better living than what I do farming.

There haven't been many track tractors in this area & the except for a couple owned by one of the BFOs,all were traded off in a year or two.
