About Bobcat Equipment

Bobcat is the most widely recognized compact equipment brand in North America, manufactured by Doosan Bobcat out of West Fargo, North Dakota. Their T-series compact track loaders (T450 through T870) and E-series mini excavators (E20 through E85) dominate the rental fleet and owner-operator market across construction, landscaping, snow removal, and agriculture.

Bobcat CTLs are built in two main frame classes. The smaller frames (T450, T550, T590, T595) use a 320x86mm track width, while the larger frames (T630, T650, T740, T750, T770, T870) use a 450x86mm track width. The link count varies by model, which is why selecting by exact model number is critical. Bobcat excavators span a wider range of track sizes from 230mm on the E20 up to 400mm on the E85.

Bobcat's undercarriage system uses a standard sprocket-and-idler layout with bottom and top rollers. One common issue with Bobcat CTLs is sprocket wear accelerating faster than track wear, especially on machines running at high speeds on hard surfaces. If you are replacing tracks and notice rounded sprocket teeth, replacing the sprocket at the same time will extend the life of your new tracks significantly.

Bobcat OEM Tracks vs Ultra Track Aftermarket

OEM Bobcat rubber tracks purchased through a Bobcat dealer typically cost $1,200 to $2,400 per track depending on the model and frame class. Bobcat's standard parts warranty covers 12 months.

Ultra Track aftermarket rubber tracks for Bobcat machines are built to the same dimensional specifications and use equivalent construction: continuous steel cord belting, virgin rubber compounds, and drop-forged steel links. Our Bobcat tracks start at 30 to 50 percent below dealer pricing and include a 30-month warranty — more than double the standard Bobcat parts coverage.

Both options will give your Bobcat CTL or excavator the same fitment, ground pressure distribution, and traction. The service life is comparable when the aftermarket track uses continuous wound cords and virgin rubber. Ultra Track's tracks meet both requirements.

Maintaining Your Bobcat Rubber Tracks

Track Tension

Bobcat recommends checking track tension at the start of every operating day. For Bobcat CTLs, the typical sag measurement is 1 to 1.5 inches measured at the midpoint between the front idler and rear sprocket. Refer to your Bobcat operator's manual for the exact specification for your model.

Undercarriage Cleaning

Packed material between the track and undercarriage components adds weight, increases fuel burn, and causes uneven wear. This is especially common with Bobcat CTLs and excavators working in clay or wet soil. Hose out the undercarriage at the end of each day.

When to Replace

Signs your Bobcat tracks need replacement: cracking between tread lugs deeper than 1/4 inch, visible steel cords through the rubber, uneven lug height across the track width, or track slipping on the sprocket despite correct tension. On average, quality aftermarket tracks last 1,200 to 2,000 hours on a Bobcat CTL.

Replace Undercarriage Components Together

On Bobcat machines, the sprocket typically wears faster than the tracks, especially on units running at high speed on hard surfaces. Check sprocket teeth, idler bearings, and roller condition when installing new tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size rubber tracks does a Bobcat T770 use?

The Bobcat T770 uses a 450x86x55 rubber track. You can verify this using our Parts Finder or refer to the size chart above.

How much do Bobcat rubber tracks cost?

OEM Bobcat rubber tracks from a dealer typically cost $1,200 to $2,400 per track. Ultra Track aftermarket tracks for Bobcat machines start at $600 to $1,400 per track with the same dimensional specifications, continuous steel cord construction, and a 30-month warranty.

Are aftermarket rubber tracks as good as Bobcat OEM tracks?

Quality aftermarket tracks built with continuous wound steel cords and virgin rubber compounds deliver comparable fitment and service life to OEM tracks. The key difference is cost. Ultra Track's Bobcat tracks are built to match OEM dimensional specifications and typically last 1,200 to 2,000 operating hours, which is in the same range as factory-installed tracks.

Do you carry undercarriage parts for Bobcat equipment?

Yes. We carry sprockets, idlers, bottom rollers, and top rollers for most Bobcat models. Replacing worn undercarriage components alongside new tracks extends the life of both. Shop Bobcat undercarriage parts.
