Somerville, Indiana | I think you will find the wider the track shoes the shorter the life of the rails. More pry on the rails tend to wear pins and bushings much faster. Always run with the narrowest shoes that will do what you need done.
More important, if you are not friends with a good Cat mechanic, find one and stroke the friendship all you can. You will not like to take a Cat into a company shop for little things, let alone the big things that wear eventually. All work on a D5-6-7 size machine can be performed in a good farm shop.
The D4H is not in production anymore, not a whole gazillion were made like the other sizes. While it is handy for finish work it is very light for production work. Yardage/day does not mount up quickly, very noticeable by the 3rd day.
