hey really wanting to add a posi track to my equipment, without needing to upgrade truck my current tippers tare is 3500KG, GVM 6500KG and GCM 10,000KG the tipper bed is 2.8 metre long by 2m wide truck is a 2015 fuso canter 715 i currently tow a 1.7 kubota u17 + trailer and attachments which is about 2400kg total wondering what would be the best posi track i can get that would fit those dimensions, i'm wanting to put the posi in the tipper and also tow the u17 if possible posi will be more for general landscaping purposes, but high flow would be great too incase i venture into brushcutting etc used the svl75 and loved it, but i think too heavy for my tipper? i had heard someone with same tipper as me had one of these and opened his 4 in 1 bucket over the tail and it fit snug the cat 239d3 looks like it may fit my requirements too but ive never used one would love to hear some of your opinions

    For using High Flow attachments, you likely need to purchase a machine with the most weight and enclosed cab for good balance and air conditioning when operating the attachment. But for general landscaping, that may be something else. Most CTL's hefty weight and rough tracks can leave ruts and crush lawns and destroy shallow buried utilities. Two brands offer smooth tracked machines that won't tear up the turf, Bobcat and ASV. Stand behind mini skidsteers from Ditchwitch and Toro offer and excellent fit for working in tight quarters and can operate with a lighter footprint and are easier to tow. I have used a Toro Dingo with ramps for years. Just sold off my CTL Takeuchi and Hitachi mini loader
