I’m also debating steel track vs rubber tracks vs rubber pads on steel tracks.

I’m debating fixed boom vs swing boom, for a 7 to 9 ton machine.
What’s your opinion? How often do you use the swing in forestry work?

I have a deere 85g, every time i dig up close to myself i wish i got the 75g

I never use it for any type of forestry. To tell you the truth I only used it one time this entire year putting a French drain right up against a house.

I thought the 85 in the 75 were pretty much the same just the weight.
