[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1837161, member: 19817"] We can agree to disagree on that. Most in the industry will tell you undercarriage cost on a CTL ranges anywhere from $5-10 per operating hour depending on conditions, while a wheeled SS its less than $2 in most cases. I maintain a guys fleet of 8 machines 4 CTL and 4 SS and from nearly 15 years of service records I can tell you those numbers are fairly accurate. So your CTL "good operator" needs to do 4 or 5 times the amount of work as a SS so be equal running costs. That's not likely. Beauty of OTT tracks if you only have wear them out when needed. In my case for the 90% of the time I run bare tires I can operate for say $2 per hour, when I need tracks 10% of the time I'm closer to $7 per hour VS a tracked machine a $7 an hour 100% of the time.
