Skid steer or track loader?

Compact track loaders weigh 1,000–2,000 lb more than wheeled skid steers of similar lift capacity because of the undercarriage, which also spreads their weight for lower ground pressure.

Rated operating capacity is 50% of tipping load for wheeled machines and 35% for track loaders under SAE J818/ISO 14397, so compare capacity, not just weight.
