I appreciate the heads- up on the track system of the ASV. With these warnings and Bill's advice, I hopefully can keep the maintenance costs down.
I'm not surprised there's added cost with a track machine. I have a Bobcat S250 (with rubber-over-metal tracks)and an A300 (with turf tires) and they are great at what they're designed to do. But unfortunately, there are jobs that only a small track machine will do. And on many of these tight jobs the ASV 30 can get in and out quickly and with less lawn damage. Even with the worst case scenario of an added $7/hour over the skidsteers in maintenance, I wouldn't hesitate. The amount of labor saved and ability to get more jobs done per week (VERY important in a seasonal business), make it worthwhile... But again I appreciate the heads up.
