I have a Cub Cadet Enforcer zero turn mower with a set of chains for the drive wheels. I paid $2700 for it with 254 hours on it. With the chains on, it's just about unstoppable; there's only one spot on my property I won't take it into- the area adjacent to the shallow end of the stock tank. It's black mud a yard deep.

Accessories like a blade, scraper or such wouldn't be hard to adapt or build.

If you really want a tracked vehicle, it might be easier and cheaper to start with a zero turn (which has hydro drive and tank controls), fab up a front idler axle, drive sprockets to replace the wheels and run a set of existing tracks from a bobcat or even from one of these. You'd end up with a platform at a lower cost, and you'd have base where you could buy parts from the manufacturer.

Not a bad idea, but not exactly the direction I want to go. I'd much rather build this machine and modify it to meet my needs in the easiest of methods without a bunch of engineering and fabricating.

It's not a replacement for a good full sized tractor, but for small stuff around the house, it looks like it should be fine. Before you pull the trigger on a $5K purchase, I'd look at a few used equipment websites just in case. You might find exactly what you're wanting for a bit less.

I actually have been looking online for a used one for sale, and they do pop up occasionally, but so far no luck there.

$5k is way to much for that. Pretty cool though.

The other day while leaving the neighborhood I thought I spotted rusting under a tarp!

You must not be up on prices of bulldozers or construction equipment. If this mini-dozer does what I need it to do, $5K will be a bargain for me.

Someone in your neighborhood has one?

It sure looked like tracks under a tarp the size of a riding mower.

Hmmm...that's interesting.

I'm pretty sure what I saw, even thought about your interest in them! It looked pretty rusty under that tarp.

Well just for you Axxe I drove past it just now and it aint what I thought to was. Looks like a very old rider with some strange wide tires burred up to the frame in dirt!
