The best replacement track for a Bobcat is not determined by tread pattern first. It starts with the correct governed track identity for the exact machine, then the tread is selected for the work surface.
Start With the Bobcat Model Family
Bobcat T-Series compact track loaders, MT-series mini track loaders, and E-series excavators use very different track families. Do not apply a size chart from one family to another.
T-Series CTLs
Use the current Bobcat T-Series Rubber Track Sizes guide for governed CTL fitment. Important examples include:
- T76: 320x86B53 primary, with confirmed 400mm and 450mm alternatives that require confirmation.
- T770: confirmed 400x86B55 and 450x86B55 configurations; verify the installed width.
- T870: 450x86B58 suspension-mount versus 450x86B60 torsion-mount. Undercarriage configuration is mandatory.
- T595: current rows are supplier cross-reference candidates and are not release-ready by model alone.
Mini Track Loaders
MT55, MT85, and MT100 can have multiple governed widths or guide identities. Use the dedicated Bobcat mini track loader guide and confirm the molded track size.
Choose Tread Only After Fitment
There is no universal rule that C-Block is always best for demolition, Multi-Bar is always best for mud, or Zig-Zag is always best for finished surfaces. Actual tread designs vary. Compare the patterns available in the verified size using our tread guide.
What to Inspect Before Installing New Tracks
- Sprocket tooth condition
- Roller and idler play or leaks
- Alignment
- Debris buildup
- Track tension according to the Bobcat service information for the exact machine
Use the Rubber Track Finder for a machine-specific match before ordering.
