Not worth a new post but this is the seepage out the old tips from the quarry below one of our jobs, crazy patterns in it and those are truck tyres

That's cool

seepage of what ???

Lime? Calcium? What ever the ground water is washing out of a few million tons of dumped stuff. This place was a quarry, then munitions store in ww2 then mushroom farm now underground storage of things like cheese and wine.

surprised no one's exploiting whatever is washing out ... seems a lot of it

I assume it’s calcium? Always going past it, there is simular down viajella, think that’s more blue tho.

Think via gellia is just washout from the quarries above

You could always get bolt on pads, so best of both worlds.

I had the same size machine on the same width tracks. It was very kind to tarmac- left fine white lines and that was it. Not like a 13 tonner that leaves indentations.

The driver can make a big difference as well, you`ve obviously got it, someone who hasn't

We do a lot of factory work inside on polished or resin floors, current job is farm but mot hard standings and even on that during the dry spells the kx161 been screaming around lol. When it rains it’s fine, but dry she’s a screamer lol so think rubbers would be my preference.

Yes city pads are an option
