The Takeuchi TB260 runs a 400x72.5Wx76 rubber track — 400 mm (16") wide, 72.5 mm pitch, 76 links, W-series guide lug profile. The W matters: a 400x72.5x76 track with the wrong lug profile won't seat on the TB260's undercarriage. Here's the full picture — verification, specs, and what a heavy-duty replacement costs.

Takeuchi TB260 Specs
| Class | 6-ton mini excavator, zero tail swing |
| Engine | 47 HP |
| Operating weight | 13,200 lb |
| Bucket dig force | 14,000 lb |
| Dig depth | 15'5" |
| Aux hydraulic flow | 20.1 GPM |
| System pressure | 3,626 PSI |
A 6.5-ton machine with 14,000 lb of dig force loads its tracks hard — zero-tail-swing counter-rotation against foundations and in tight utility work is exactly the duty cycle that wears rubber fastest. Steel cord quality decides how long a set survives it.
What replacement tracks cost
A heavy-duty TrackTECH 400x72.5Wx76 track for the TB260 runs $1,599.90 per track — continuously wound steel cord that prevents snapping under load, abrasion-resistant rubber that resists cuts and chunking in rocky terrain, staggered block tread for smooth travel and consistent traction in the trench. Tested to last 30% longer than standard aftermarket tracks, backed by our 24-month full replacement warranty. Free freight to the lower 48, same-day shipping on orders before 12 PM CT. Replace in pairs — mismatched wear pulls a digging machine off line when you need precision most.
TB260 undercarriage
While the machine is up on the blade, inspect the steel — new rubber on a worn sprocket is money thrown away. Check sprocket teeth for hooking, idlers for flange wear and play, and spin every roller; seized or leaking rollers flat-spot new tracks.

When to replace TB260 tracks
- Lug depth under 50% — trenching traction drops first, especially in wet clay
- Exposed or rusting steel cord — plan the replacement before it strands the machine in a trench
- Cracking between lugs — normal aging past ~1,500–2,000 hours
- De-tracking that tensioning won't fix — stretched cords are permanent
FAQ
What size track does a Takeuchi TB260 use?
400x72.5Wx76 — 400 mm wide, 72.5 mm pitch, 76 links, W lug profile.
How much does a Takeuchi TB260 weigh?
About 13,200 lb operating weight — a 6-ton class zero-tail-swing machine with 15'5" dig depth.
What does the W in 400x72.5Wx76 mean?
It's the guide lug profile. Tracks with identical numbers but a different lug profile will not seat correctly on the TB260 undercarriage.
How long do TB260 tracks last?
Typically 1,200–2,000 hours — dirt and turf extend life, rock and demolition shorten it.
