Do you need high flow to run a harley box rake?

Hey guys, we need a bit of advice. We have a Case 1840 (a dinosaur to what some of you have =)), and I love it. I want tracks, but I don't want to put over the tire tracks on, so I am leaning toward purchasing the loegering tire replacement tracks.

My problem is this, of course the tracks are a large investment. I also want to get a box rake. I thought you need high flow, so I don't want to spend 8k on tracks for a case 1840 only to find I need high flow for some attachments I will need and have to rent a skid for that. I would rather sell my skid and get the one I need first then buy tracks.

I really hope it works on the 1840, I have grown fond of the machine.

Are there any other attachments I may need high flow for that would require me to replace the 1840 with high flow?

Thanks!

You don't need high flow for a Harley rake. You'd need high flow for a stump grinder, cold plane mill, snowblower, there's more too. Most common landscape attachments don't require it.

We used to run with an 1840, great machine, lots of capability and still fit all the places an 1845 wouldn't.

I too have been thinking about the loegering tracks. Let me know if you take the plunge.

Cool, kind of sucks about the stump grinder, but maybe when I get a dingo I can get it for that machine if I find they are effective =).

Thanks guys!

Synner, I will keep you informed if we get the loegering tracks.

There are regular flow stump grinders available, but the high flow is more effective.
