Hi, I'm new here.:cool2 I am a small general excavation contractor, doing mostly backfill, retaining walls and driveways:canada:. My question is regarding my 257b. I know that some are not fans of this machine but I couldn't do with out it:notworthy. Anyhow I am running "Bair products" front idlers( I have noticed increased track wear but less idler wear and it is nice to be able to grease the axle:)), and now it is time for tracks:(:. I have found a few different aftermarket brands but the prices seem to vary, and what about quality. Should I go with "stock" tracks as I have 1100 hrs on them and have seen pictures of machine running on tracks much worse than mine:beatsme.
Thanks for any input
