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.
If you spin on the spot on tarmac or concrete they wear very quickly

Were they bald or did they snap?

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

Indeed. I just paid more for a smaller tracked skidsteer from the same year, albeit with only 130 hours. But still.

Yes but yours is legally towable ….

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.

@CPS Could you please price a set of buckets for my 860 Terex that will grab in the 4/1 nicely? 12", 18", 24", 36" and a grader please.

Over 5ton acording to interweb which seems a lot and can’t be roaded so needs a lorry. Quite niche. Not even road legal by the looks.

Proper nice stay on my patch weapon that. And of course weight regs don't apply to B roads up here which is handy.

true, but I'd have a hard job on, justifying that level of spend, 'cos I like it .....
was bad enough in 2014 when I bought the 'Drema, but that has more than justified itself, since it's been residing at Chez Druid
and has been doing just that again today - not many FLTs with a 24+ foot reach 12ft in the air, with a couple of tonne on the fork tips

How much was a set of tracks on the skid steer above.if £250 a track that's only a pound an hour in running costs but I'd imagine tracks are a bit more expensive.my avatar was costing me a pound an hour in tyres back in 2001.was only on £17/18 an hour then too.its all added onto the daily charge.
