Which tread pattern for Bobcat?

[asmith90]

Which tread pattern do you recommend? I'm in Illinois and mainly use my T650 around the farm. Terrain is dirt/mud/grass and I use it to clear snow.

I was looking at these two options. Any thoughts on which one is best?

T650 Zig Zag Tread Pattern
T650 Multi Bar

zigzag would probably be better in snow

I would opt for the zig zag myself.

When I look at the T650 Bobcat shows a more aggressive tread. That's a nice looking machine.

Although I don't own one of these yet...

I was intrigued by the options around treads and why pick one over the other. Found a pretty good article I thought on track tread designs and uses for them.

I had Bobcat brand orange non-marking tracks installed on the MT100 purchased this spring.
They work great in the snow, mud, slop and are not bad on turf if careful.
Wanted to get away from black so I did not markup the bran floor and outdoor concrete. Very happy with the results.
