Current state of my tracks

Change them ASAP and sell the old ones on eBay.
Not worth the risk of a breakdown on site

Just be careful of tracks that are too cheap. I had a set of our local Tak dealer and to say they they were complete frickin junk is putting it mildly. The lugs were spaced too far apart and had far too much flex in them- made them jump off the sprockets on a daily basis. Got rid and put Camso on and they are brilliant, the continuous overlapping lugs are brilliant and yet to have one de-rail.

Well done a bit of phoning around and all were around same prices as astrack so have ordered from Hitachi as they are a good 60 quid cheeper for original spec Bridgestones and carriage is built in to the price as well
Thanks everyone for your recommendations

funny how things move on .... Bridgestone used to have a terrible rep. for their tyres ... worst of the worst ..when I was young....now they seem to be everyone's favourite, certainly for rubber tracks anyway .... no idea on how their tyres are regarded these days

I wish I’d bought OE Bridgestone’s for my 803, in my opinion they are far superior to the ones I put on it, which iirc were Tuff Track, from SPS I think.
the Bridgestone’s were smoother running and twice as thick as the replacements, they were twice the price at the time, but I not realise they were twice the track. They also never got thrown off like these new ones, bit of type 1 jammed in them and it’s easy to throw a track.
New ones have twice the bars in them, engaging on every tooth, meant to be brilliant and smoother running etc, but that is not my experience at all.
If dealer had been more competitive for Bridgestone’s then I’d have had them at the time. Now I think they’d be my choice even if strong on price.
@Left hooker , the fact you are getting OE for pattern money is incredible. Just goes to show that it’s always worth asking the main agent.

Yep I would agree that its best to buy a decent track ....Think my 8t has tuff track (put on by seller) and they are utter shite, if it didnt get babied and had rough work on concrete etc they wouldnt last at all.
Had to order some tracks for the 3 tonner in France due to Brexit and was given two options on quality so went with the better.......they turned up and are branded "J Track" time me will tell.

I bought my cx80 in October 18 the tracks where pretty shagged then and Buntons knocked £500 off after the deal was done and said it’s for the tracks

bridgestones are on the machine and that’s what I’ve just bought £950 a side they can sit in the yard until these finally give up or the machine goes back to the yard

Well I've just been shopping around for the E27, just because they are looking a bit battered and I don't want the downtime. Prices so far-

Astrack Terra Track plus- £416

MST- £380

Bobcat genuine- standard £414
Premium- £724

Cautrac- £440

All about the same bar the ludicrous Bobcat 'premium' ones. Yet to get a price for Camaso HD tracks. Anyone else you'd try? Which would you go for? My work is hard on tracks.

Genuine standard or premium? You'd expect a brand new machine to come with the better ones. What make are Bobcats own?

They just say 'bobcat' on them, but the blurb for Camaso says they are OEM for Bobcat and a couple of other makes.

If I was buying again for my 803 I’d buy Bridgestone’s as per the originals. The feckin Tuff Trac crap, or whatever they are called, that I bought last time were half the price but half the track in my opinion! It threw another track yesterday, bloody horrid things.

They were very helpful when I was enquiring about my yamaguchi dumper. And one would think as a company that specialises in tracks you couldn't go to far wrong with them if the price is right.

Is that each?
Unpaid £800 for a pair of Camaso HD from Digbits in October last year. Quite happy with them.
