Super float skid steer tires or tracks

Anyone running these? I'm borrowing a set from a buddy to use on my bobcat S150, and they make a HUGE difference over the stock standard tires. They don't tear up the grass, don't rut up the ground, and work well in deep sand. I can't find much info on them, I think I can order a set directly from bobcat, but they're pretty pricey. Can't find any used so far.

Also considering some tracks, either the over the tire set from Mclaren or the bolt on direct drive system from Loegering that replaces the wheels/tires. Anyone got any first hand experience with these systems?

we use them on some of our smaller jobsite when trying to minimize impact to the existing ground conditions. Great in mud and swampy areas! I think tracks are ideal for skid steers unless the work is on pavement. Never bought or sold them--just used them on equipment.

One of my buddy's runs a set of the over-the-tire tracks on his Mustang (I forget the model. 60hp maybe?). They like them because they can work more days out of the year with tracks. His dad wasn't too sold on the idea because of track ruts until he had a loaner set from the dealer. He bought them ASAP once he tried them. During the winter they're on most of the time. The only thing I didn't like is the ride is rougher on dry ground.
