Tw190 tracking speed Vs 150.

I suspect I know the answer to this. 

But does a tw190 track any quicker than a 150? I suspect not. 

 

I have a 150 with a winch and it does everything I need but by god does it track slow. Living where I do and some of the work I get it can be a bit of a trek in. At slower than walking speed this 150 can sure make a meal out of it. 

 

Hoping to move on to a 230 or a st6. Used a 230 and forst, obviously a massive leap forward in terms of chipping capabilities as well as tracking speed.

I never know why they didnt put two speed tracking on them, ex boss had a 150 and it was slow also

I was watching my mates 280 track on site the other day , I think it was doing 20mph!!  … I think our Schliesing is about 1mph if that … can’t say I’m bothered by it much , the speed would be nice but I’m pretty sure I would drop tracks more, the slow speed seems to make you more aware of stumps and obstacles that could de track.

You don't need to tell me. I pulled out a load of fences on my farm. Tracking over the field on way, then tracking back, that was beyond tedious and took days

Yes that is definitely a pro for being slow at tracking but trying to cover any distance is darn annoying. Very easy to find yourself in a spot of bother when tracking about.

I did use a tr6p last year, felt very top heavy, tracked well and chipped amazingly well. The timberpup 150tr I have seems fairly well low in comparison and at least gives the illusion of a lower centre of gravity.
