[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 6626, member: 782"] I think you will be very happy with the T190 as it is very powerful and smooth operating for it's size ----it is a high maintance machine as far as the tracks go , if you don't really need the rubber tracks and are tight with money it may be best to stay away from it as it is high maintance , if you stay mostly on concrete , asphalt , trash or any hard surface you can expect as low as 500 hours on the tracks , if you stay on dirt all the time you will be lucky to exceed 1000 hours on a set of tracks ,the most I have every sen yet is 1200 hours on a set , the rollers and idlers seem to be a little better than when they first came out as they didn't last long at all on the first ones , the rear idler is the weak point and list for $700 here and seem to last about 2 sets of tracks , the travel motors are $3,000 + each , bottom rollers around $300 , very good machine but costly to keep up with -------I have just seen where the new bottom rollers are from Berco now , I took the number off of it and tracked it down to a Berco dealer who had the number in his system and the list was $65 and Bobcat sells it for $712 , what a mark up , but I could not buy it at that price as it is protected by OEM status -----there are after market tracks available with some mixed results on how well they last , I can say to stay away from the Korean tracks as they will last about 200 hours and self destruct , all in all a work horse which doesn't give alot of problems other than the tracking system [/QUOTE]
