Hi.
I just traded some of my tree service equipment for a 2005 Takeuchi TL130 Track Loader with 605 hrs on it. I've been wanting a big skid steer for my business and this seemed like a good trade. Problem is, while the loader is awesome when it can get traction, it is not so awesome on ice and packed snow which I have a lot of in SD. Tracks are about 60% so I don't think that's the problem - I think it just has too low of ground pressure for use on hard snow and ice.
Is this a fair assessment or is something wrong?
If I can't get better traction on snow/ice, I am going to sell it for a wheeled machine. I hate to do it since it is by far the most 'decked-out' and nicest loader I have ever owned but I need better traction on ice/snow.
If I end up selling, do you think I can get $27,500 out of it based on the hours and avg/good condition?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
