If you are replacing tracks on a Bobcat T650, the rubber is only half of the undercarriage decision. A hooked sprocket, seized roller, loose idler or alignment problem can shorten the life of a new track immediately.

What should you inspect when the tracks come off?
- Sprockets: look for hooked, pointed or asymmetrical tooth wear. The tooth should engage the drive lug cleanly instead of dragging across one edge.
- Bottom rollers: check for bearing play, leakage, binding, flat spots and uneven flange wear.
- Front/rear idlers: inspect side play, seal condition and flange wear. A loose idler can contribute to de-tracking.
- Tension system: confirm the adjuster moves through its usable range and holds tension.
- Track frame: clean packed material and inspect guards or damaged steel that could push the belt off line.
Do you need to replace everything at once?
No. Undercarriage replacement should be condition-based. Replace the component that is worn beyond service limits or is directly damaging the track. A healthy roller or idler does not need to be discarded just because the tracks are new.
However, installing new rubber over a badly hooked sprocket or seized roller is false economy. Read New Rubber Tracks on Worn Sprockets before reusing a questionable drive system.
Symptoms that point to undercarriage wear
| Symptom | What to inspect first |
|---|---|
| Track ratchets or skips under load | Track tension, sprocket tooth profile, drive-lug damage |
| Track repeatedly walks off | Tension, idler/roller play, frame alignment, damaged guides |
| One side wears faster | Roller/idler alignment, seized roller, uneven sprocket wear |
| New track develops drive-lug damage | Sprocket engagement, wrong guide family, incorrect track tension |
| Machine feels rough after track replacement | Mismatched tracks, damaged rollers, debris, tension |
Track fitment still comes first
The current TrackTECH catalog lists 320x86x52, 380x86x52, 400x86x52, 450x86x52 for this model. If more than one configuration is listed, verify the installed track and machine setup before changing width, pitch, link count or guide family.
