The body does look smaller, but the undercarriage is longer and I think some wider. All that steel and cast, though -- man, that would be a workhorse! I don't think I could ever settle on a walk-behind machine. I'd want my feet and other dangling parts to be above the tracks!

That was exactly my thought. All you would have to do is trip over something backing up and you could have a flat head to match your flat feet and flat everything else in between...The body does look smaller, but the undercarriage is longer and I think some wider.

You guys were reading my mind!!!
I used a Barreto tracked trencher to put in my water lines to my well. I was maneuvering the machine out of a tight spot and I backed against a tree. The trencher kept going right over my left foot. Fortunately, its controlled by a joystick and my right arm stopped with me and the trencher stopped and backed up.
The foot was sore for a couple days but there was no major damage. The weight on this piggy is up there... Not as bad as the dozer but after a ton, its all academic.

One of the funniest things I ever witnessed, was one of my competitors, doing a demo (I think) of a brand new toro dingo type walk behind loader. The imported crew was tryin to unload a big landscaping boulder from a flat bed truck. It was way too big, for the loader they were using, they had the loader on the curb side of the truck, and the whole crew were rolling it off the side of the truck, with prybars and 2x4's, into the bucket, which was resting by the teeth on the bucket, on the side rail of the truck bed. Well, they got it in the bucket, and as soon as the loader backed up enough to take the weight, it flipped the hapless mexican drivin it, up in the air, like a trapeze artist, at the circus. He musta cleared 6' to his heels, before he landed on top of the machine...
