Our tracked unit seemed to do fine with snow, we did swap on snow track though. Found some sheet ice in the parking lot that was fun though.

Tracked will do fine on snow, less so on ice. But even a regular tire machine is not great on snow until you put chains on it. But if you are looking to really move a lot of snow then you need to pick up a set of 22.5 radial snow tires for your machine. The extra diameter will give 2-3 mph extra speed witch almost makes them feel fast. But in all honesty they are night and day if you are clearing parking lots.

Polar Treads is what we got. Am trying to find rims for snow tires on the loaders this year.

The ice I had issue with a tire wouldn't have done much better, it was a sheet of flat ice abut 20 foot wide. I'd get the angle right so the machine would just slide across and then get the track moving enough to spin me so I was facing the other direction when hit pavement again. Empty lot

Yeah, first time trying to run the TR270 on ice after a usual winter thaw I parked it and grabbed the S250.
Not that tires aren't slippery too, but not as bad.
Plus set of chains are reasonable in cost and time to throw on or snow tires.

We tried the screw in carbides in the tracks, they didn't last out That long before tearing out.

Just mention it in case plowing is something you plan on doing.
On that note, the blowers for skid steers aren't that great unless you get into big hp and high flow.

Std flow, ~75hp machine, it'll blow snow, but it's about equal in performance to a 25-30hp tractor.

Snowblower Attachment | muskoxmn.com | Grand Forks, ND is the blower we use with good results.

I guarantee the Deere had a DPF and none of them would have had SCR

Deere 75 HP under is non def regen system and 75 HP above they use DEF.

75 HP Deere modern model ctl 325P and sslder 324P. 2500 rated operating class

One thing to note is the rated operating capacity of sslders and CTLs is an industry stability test ratings and has absolutely nothing to do with what the machines will actually physically lift.

When it comes to what a machine will lift, people want to know this rating because of lifting items with pallet forks like a pallet of landscaping stones. No manufacture list what their machines are capable of lifting. I can tell you this, I love putting Deere machines up against any competitor in a side by side lift test lifting same pallet forks and weight. No other manufacturer could ever compete against them. I let the machine do the talking.

No shit that's what I said. It's not a DEF system it's called SCR. The number people need to look for is loader breakout force which is what the machine would physically lift.
