[QUOTE="siduramaxde, post: 1832, member: 248"] Well, I went to bobcat yesterday and picked up a new set of bridgestone tracks. After hearing some horror stories I decided it would be worth the extra money for bridgestone tracks. My bobcat dealer came down to $1850 per track which got me out the door just below $4000 including tax. Then came the hard part...putting the new tracks on. I never realized how heavy the tracks are (especially the new ones). I could barely get the tracks off the back of my truck much less muscle them onto the machine. I was able to get the new tracks on by myself but I wouldn't recomend just anyone trying this. I used a come-along, chain, multiple 2x4's, metal pipe, prybars, and lots of swearing to get them on. It took me about 4 hours total to remove the old ones and get the new ones on. However, I think the first one took about 3 hours and the second only took 1 hour. Lets just say that I learned a bit while putting the first one on. I got the c pattern bridgestone track and they ride much smoother than the old tracks. [/QUOTE]
