Bobcat Skid Steer Tracks: Best Replacement Options & Maintenance Tips

Bobcat skid steers rely heavily on the quality and condition of their tracks. Whether you operate a Bobcat T180, T190, T590, T630, or T650, choosing the right replacement tracks and maintaining them properly can dramatically improve traction, reduce downtime, and extend the life of your undercarriage.


Best Replacement Tracks for Bobcat Skid Steers

When replacing Bobcat skid steer tracks, the safest choice is a heavy-duty aftermarket track designed for your exact model. TrackTECH HD Series tracks use reinforced steel cords, deep tread profiles, and premium rubber compounds engineered for long service life.


How to Choose the Right Track for Your Bobcat

The correct track size ensures proper tension, smooth operation, and even wear. Bobcat tracks are sized by width × pitch × number of links. Each skid steer model requires a specific combination—installing the wrong size leads to premature wear or de-tracking.

Track width affects performance:

  • Wide tracks improve flotation and stability on mud, sand, and loose soil.
  • Narrow tracks increase maneuverability and reduce stress on the undercarriage.

Maintenance Tips to Extend Track Life

Follow these quick tips to maximize skid steer track lifespan:

  • Keep tracks properly tensioned — too loose = de-tracking, too tight = early wear.
  • Clean the undercarriage daily to remove mud, gravel, and debris.
  • Inspect for cuts or chunking in the tread and lugs.
  • Replace worn sprockets when installing new tracks to prevent premature wear.

A well-maintained set of Bobcat tracks can last significantly longer and help your machine run smoother on every job site.


When Should You Replace Bobcat Tracks?

Replace your tracks when you notice: deep cracking, exposed cords, severe lug wear, poor traction, or frequent de-tracking. Heavy-use machines may require new tracks every 12–24 months.
