Hi All,
My first post!!! I own a Scat Trak 1700C, perkins powered, a real brute. I use it for farm work, hay loading, logging, manure relocation, brush clearing, snow removal, grading, landscaping, pretty much an all around unit for my farm. It gets used at my dads and friends farm and has been a great machine.
So, I have McLaren Diamond Steel Tracks and pneumatic tires. My issue is, I don't need to run the tracks but pretty much leave them on all winter because of wet conditions and feeding hay, cleaning out manure, I need the traction period.
I do a lot of clearing on my families/best friends property and we have locust, hedge all over around here. I get flats!!! and hate of course wrestling the tracks to fix tires.
I have been to three tire shops and given up on their opinions as they all three say I can, I cant, I shouldn't I wouldn't or SURE we will sell you whatever you want!!!
So, I am confused, that is why I am here. I am looking for an honest opinion for what is the best solution for a flat proof or foam filled running steel track combination. Can you even run a flatproof tire on a steel track since the sidewall is straight? Do I need to go with a foam filled? will that ruin the sidewall because there is no flex in the sidewall?
These are the things I am hearing.
I run the machine around 150 hours per year. I would say the tracks get 100 of those hours.
So, lettur rip guys.............what should I do?
Thanks in advance,
Robert
