I remember the first 4H I ran, had spent a lot of time on D3's before that, the latter was much more nimble, and the 4H was the limit for the tag trailer behind the single axle, + height, seemed like it was up there. One place we had a 4H or whatever model it was by then, not bad, grading and so on, but for topsoiling around new houses, was always a D3, or equivalent size JD, we had a nice new 550 JD was about '94 or so. I ran many D6D's, reliable, well built, but old school, I demo'd a new D6H LGP or whatever the letter was in '94, new from the lot, what a difference between it and the old D6D, we had 2 of those, brand new U/C's, totally rebuilt, could not compare it to that new D6. I also demo'd a D65 PX LGP Komatsu, against the D6, nice machine, first joystick control dozer I ever ran, company went with the Komatsu, D6 LGP would turn with a full blade in soft material, Komatsu would not, D6 LGP, could get through areas that the Komatsu could not, I put these side by side on that huge wet stockpile, I can remember being in it up to the fender on that new D6, and getting out, and waving down an excavator to free up the Komatsu on the same pile, both were excellent machines, I preferred the CAT, but ran that D65 after it went back. Komatsu took literature photos of me on it, I have a few random shots too, somewhere.
I can't say why the hi track would get out of the soft stuff a little easier, the whole pile was like running on a waterbed, would heave up on the outer edges, I always feared sinking in it, LGP's had 36" pads, unreal the flotation difference.
