Compact Track Loaders by Rated Capacity
Rubber tracks give flotation and traction that wheels cannot match on soft, muddy or sloped ground, at the cost of undercarriage wear and road speed. Track loaders are also where makers disagree about which fraction of tipping load to advertise, so this list recomputes every machine at 35 per cent — the convention nine of the twelve brands already use — rather than ranking three brands to the top on wording.
Ranked on: rated capacity recomputed at 35% of tipping load for every machine. That is the whole method — no weighting, no score, nothing of ours mixed in.
