who is the skid steer expert?

Well Ive done all the above with tires for 20 years without and trouble,ive worked with the lasers,done countless miles of road and sidewalk prep,Ive done ice rinks so close it took 3 wheelbarrows to screet it to purfect,tracks are nice but if I had to have just one it would be tired.

Ya I was going to say, tires are not a issue on grading, unless it's black dirt even then it's doable. It's tougher if your starting out on really unlevel ground though and tracks would make it a bit better.

Overall for snow removal tires I like a lot better because they are so much quicker to move around. But for digging in the sand tracks would be nice. But I don't think i'd have tracks if I had the choice to.

I've never ran foot controls but I can't get how they are better. I know I am 100x more coordinated with my hands and a lot more sensitive to small movements, plus how do you run them in big clumsy winter boots? I've only seen one really crappy operator run one up close and man was it ever terrible and choppy, but easily could of been the operator.

I have way more hours running foot controls, and I have to say once you have the hang of it you can be extremely fast. But after a days work it feels like you just ran a marathon.lol I would say that whatever you are more comfortable running is your own choice they all do the same thing at the end of they day. If you are gonna be in lots of sand I would go with tracks, anything else I would go with tires. IMO
