[QUOTE="Angus Cowman, post: 621096, member: 8829"] 6 way lets you do a little more finish work if you are moving dirt a tree pusher mounts above the blade and extends out in front of it and lets you reach higher on the tree for more leverage and as far as a loader not being able to do it I seriously doubt that! if you know how to operate one the 953 loader will push as muchor more than a D6 as far as size because you can get higher in the tree and get more leverage we actually use track loaders and excavators more than we do dozers an excavator with a thumb and a finish dozer is what I prefer but like was stated you need to be fairly good at running the excavator or you can get in trouble as for the advantage of high track they ride smoother and are supposed to put more power to the ground and also visibility is better because you sit higher disadvantages are if on steep grades machine has more weight up high so can tip easier, also if working steep grades or in soft dirt /mud and going up and down when you back up the high track transfers more weight to the front of the machine and they will lose traction or they will dig in with the front of the track and get you stuck [/QUOTE]
