This guide is not a market-share ranking. Instead, it covers several compact track loaders commonly encountered in TrackTECH's fitment catalog and shows why model-specific verification matters. The sizes below are based on current governed TrackTECH fitment records, not estimated industry sales percentages.
Kubota SVL Examples
- SVL75-2: 320x86B52 primary; 400x86B52 merchant-confirmed alternative that requires confirmation before changing width.
- SVL90-2: 450x86B58 merchant-confirmed primary.
- SVL95-2: 450x86B58 merchant-confirmed primary.
- SVL97-2: 450x86B58 merchant-confirmed primary.
Bobcat T-Series Examples
- T550: 320x86B49 primary; 400x86B49 confirmed alternative.
- T590: 320x86B49 and 400x86B49 merchant-confirmed, with exact-size confirmation required.
- T770: 400x86B55 or 450x86B55, both requiring exact-size confirmation.
- T870: 450x86B58 on the suspension-mount configuration and 450x86B60 on the torsion-mount configuration.
CAT Example
- CAT 259D3: 320x86B53 primary; 400x86B53 confirmed wide alternative requiring size confirmation.
Takeuchi Examples
- TL12R2: 450x86B60 merchant-confirmed primary.
- TL12V2: 450x86B60 merchant-confirmed primary.
- TL8R2: multiple merchant-confirmed 86x52 configurations; verify the installed width before ordering.
Why We Removed the “Most Popular” Ranking
Market-share percentages, financed-unit rankings, and claims that one model is the “most popular in America” change over time and require a defensible external dataset. Those claims do not help a contractor identify the correct replacement track. This page now focuses on what TrackTECH can support directly: governed fitment examples and the verification process.
Use These Examples as a Starting Point
Even a confirmed model can have multiple widths, serial breaks, or undercarriage-specific configurations. Read the molded size whenever possible and use the Rubber Track Finder before ordering. If you are choosing among confirmed widths, see our wide vs. narrow CTL guide.
