 8) My new forwarder arrived at dealer today. Big thanks to P.E. O'Halloran trucking for getting it there 4 days sooner than expected. It needs gone over and tracks installed and hopefully it will be hauling wood by mid week.

Yes tracks on front and back probably be on front til may depending on weather and ground conditions. I ordered the eco soft track supposed to have less ground pressure than standard eco track.

I'm sure it would I haven't worked on too many farms that I can remember. It is the same width and length as my current Cat and weighs 5 ton more. But with a full load on it  tracks front and back ground pressure is 5.66 psi front 8.7 psi on back according to eco tracks.

Nothing means business like 8wd with full on tracks! Ground pressure is surprisingly low. And with the articulation of the machine, it moves the weight around nicely.

 NICE looking machine.  Good luck and happy hauling... 8)
Think like a farmer.
