Tracks can be the best or the worst. I prefer a track loader over a rubber tire machine for the stability and traction. My primary terrain is dirt. If you can use the machine in dirt, tracks will last longer than a machine used in rock, asphalt or concrete. I have replaced my tracks twice. Orginal OEM tracks lasted 2080 hrs. Second set aftermarket last only 900 hrs. Third set is OEM. The second set was more aggressive and held the ground better than OEM. I have learned not to take chances to get in to trouble or just plain stuck. Learning the limits of the machine takes time and respect for the machine. Cuts and gashes in the tracks will not hurt the performance but will allow water and dirt to get close to the core materials. Replace the tracks anywhere but flat ground is a chore. Replace before they break.</p></blockquote><p></p>
