AS it has been explained to me, and it makes soem sense, it is that the track and carriage design is made so that it can can tremendous amounts of strain in forward mode...Think of when the loads are all being placed. You are in forward digging right?
As you back drag, there is not as much strain on the machine. But, when you hit high speed in reverse, the strain on the tracks becomes a reverse thrust pattern that can buckle, shift wear, etc.
That is how the mechanic at Hawthorne Equipment (our local cat dealer) explained it to me....
