I think the track drive would combat that.
Absolutely. The Honda has 3 positions of the the chassis relative to the tracks. Think - the tracks pivot on the center of the chassis.
1st is a travel position, it raises the scraper about 4" off the ground for - travel.
2nd is about an 1.5 -2" off the ground, this is good for grassy areas or if you have a lot of stones. This is what I use for the dog area.
3rd forces the scraper to the ground. If the tracks were up on 2x4's the scraper would be touching the ground.
This position is the one that causes the machine to skate around a bit on concrete. It will also excavate your yard if you get to rammy with it.
Neat thing with these track drives, at least the Honda, you can "drive" it up and down stairs!
And, this thing has so much power that, if you had the traction, you could push a car with it.
The auger has ice cutters on it, so there is not much in the way of packed frozen snow (or decks) it will not cut through.
No drift cutters came with mine, for some reason they can't be sold with the unit in New Jersey.
