[QUOTE="reaperman, post: 101187, member: 6675"] On the topic of track wear, you can't look at the top of a track like a tread on a tire. Tracks wear out on the bottoms first. The center spacing's that the drive sprockets use to turn the tracks will begin to tear out. When one "spacing" starts to tare the track will soon be shot, usually only a couple of hours if your lucky. We have never had any issues with rollers, but we have replaced several sprockets. The rear sprockets can be taken off and rotated with the opposite side sprocket much like rotating tires on a car. That can aid in sprocket wear, I heard once every 500 hrs. A set of tracks is good for about 2000 hrs and sprockets are not too far behind. The very front idler is also subject to wear, its easy to replace but its surprising how much the metal is shaved off when comparing to a new idler. I've always said track machines can be justified if the machine is making you money. Which isn't normally the case for a homeowner. But they sure are nice when comparing them to a tire machine.
