When Should I Use Tires on My Skid Steer?
Advantages of Tire Machines for Specific Applications
Best Applications for Tires:
- Concrete and Asphalt Work: Tire machines excel in demo work on concrete and asphalt surfaces, providing better maneuverability and less ground disturbance.
- Tightly Packed Soil: Tires offer better traction and control on compacted surfaces.
- Snow Removal: Tires are more effective for snow removal due to their smaller contact area, which allows for better grip on snow and ice.
Cost Considerations:
- Initial Purchase Price: Tire machines typically cost about $10,000 less than track machines.
- Maintenance Costs: Replacing tires is generally less expensive, with an estimated cost of around $2,000 for a set of tires.
