It must go faster. Does the arm still reach the ground? :)

Seriously, any advantage to these? Bigger tires would give less forward power for thrust.

Do they have any significant benefit or detriment to traction?

Everything is 1 inch higher off the ground, yes the boom angle is slightly different. I often use 'work' mode, never had any trouble spinning the tires even at 7,200 ft. elevation. The terrain I work on is rough, stumps, rocks, stuff, a little extra clearance helps.

I am thinking of getting a toolcat but am worried if we can get it up to my property. We have a road that we bo up that you can get up with an atv and is really steep and rocky. This is a temporary road putwill be using it for a couple years. We have 5 tight switchbacks and long roads in between with a few really steep parts. What kind or terain or degrees of road have you taken your machine on

I'll let others address the incline question, since I live in Florida (pretty flat). But in terms of your switchbacks, the turning radius with all wheel steer engaged is 17.5 feet. That's pretty tight.

Just thought of something. I do have a steep incline at one area next to my driveway. Never measured it, but I would say it's about a 3 to 1 slope and the Toolcat has no problem going up it. Of course, it's only about 30 feet or so, but I wouldn't think distance would be an issue as long as the machine can handle the incline.

Hope that helps some.
