Sounds like he has Silicosis from the way you are describing.

I have a proposal for you them that could save a few dollars. Since you love the tire machine you already have, go to your ASV or CAT dealer and order a set of Loegering tracks and under carraige. If you have not seen them it is a fully suspended undercarraige just like a CAT/ASV machine, that you bolt onto where the axles came out of your machine. The cost will set you back $16,000.00, but consider buying another machine. 50K give or take. What is less cost? And what will get the job done? In his situation, I would look at the suspended machines like ASV/CAT. They ride so smooth you can go to McDonalds and order a large cup of hot coffee at the drive in, straddle it between your legs and drive over the B6-12 curb and not spill a drop. So don't plan on paying for ytour new toy by suing Mickey D's!

A Cat demo tape shows the 277 in action driving over railroad ties under full power. Hardly any movement inside the cab.

Anyhow, check out the dedicated track system by Loegering, I think it's a good fit and you are going to save a few bucks too.
