bill you brought up a point that I have considered. We love our tire machine, but run the over the tire steel tracks 95% of the time. Significantly adding the the operational expense. Part of the reason for the tracks is wet areas. Most of the jobs we work on haven't been rough graded so there is plenty of mud. Also my partner has a lung condition that if he bounces a whole lot he coughs up blood. The steel over the tire tracks make for less side walls flex and jecking for him. The CTL has lots of vibration but is suttle and doesn't effect him.
Also access is sometimes a problem. We will be working in a customers backyard fixing drainage issues in mud and have to truck materials in and out down a concrete drive. Nobody wants steel marks on their drive. not to mention the wheelbarrow load of dirt they carry out until clean.
As for the coughing up blood I'm not sure what it is called but he goes to the doctor monthly for them to monitor. The bouncing is hard on him. That;s really good enough to justify the extra 15K
