Of immediate concern to me is that it’s on brand new tracks after 500 hours….
Looks cool though!

Our bobcat ctl did a set of tracks in 500hrs.

Completely bald. Could barely distinguish any pattern on them atall. In reality they probably had another hundred hours in them for the work that it does, but company policy treats them the same as tyres so they got changed

Seeing as that has a direct pin on breaker with a tarmac cutter then I reckon it's been on an asphalt gang. That would account for the track wear. Will also likely mean it's never seen a grease gun and will be half f***ed.
