Is there anyone with any experience with aftermarket tracks for a bobcat t-300? Ours just went shot around 800 hours. It have the crawler loader tread design. We are always in dirt and gravel in it. Still have plently of tread and rubber left. It's the metal t inside the tracks keeps breaking and ripped out

I've run prowler, midwest, bridgestone, and a few others. Seems that when you run in gravel they tend to fail pretty quickly. The lower rollers that pound the rocks into the rubber just destroy them. What we did find is you get what you pay for. A cheap set we had only lasted 400-500 hours but a quality set of oem's will last up to 1000 hours.

I just replaced the ones on my case 420 with the Camoplast ones, been great so far, suppose to be good in snow also. I got good feed back from local paving and excavating contractors before I dropped almost three grand.

That's what I am running now on my T250. So far seem to be good tracks. I'll have to rely on your experience in the snow as we may get a couple of inches a year, which shuts everything down and we take a day off.;)

Just changed both of mine to the camoplast ones about a month ago. So far I really like them.
