who makes track drive motors for Bobcat?

Just as the title asks. I'm sure Bobcat doesn't make these drive motors???? I had a salesman come out and take a look at my machine today and he only wanted to give me $12,000 for my 2002 T200(cab, air, heat, radio, 1900hrs, new OEM tracks). Also, my machine is in great shape with original paint. I about fell over. I'm determined to not let them bend me over!!!

I just called Berco of America and they actually told me that they manufacture some of Bobcats undercarriage parts (rollers, idlers, and sprockets). But the guy I talked to seemed like he didn't want to give up much information. He said that they don't make the drive motors. He did say that they have an "aftermarket" and OEM division and made it sound like I could get "aftermarket" parts from them. However, I have a feeling that they won't sell parts for lower than what Bobcat wants to sell them for. Its a conspiracy. Also if you go to Berco's website (http://www.bercoamerica.com/t-machines.aspx) you will see a Bobcat track machine with metal tracks. I'll bet that that will be a new machine from Bobcat in the coming years???? The guy on the phone really played dumb when I asked him about the steel tracks.

Rexroth makes the drive motors.

Rexroth makes the drive motors.

Bosch Rexroth.... Now I just need to find out if they make the hub bearing or if that is made by someone else. I guess some of these parts are "proprietary" to Bobcat and even though someone else manufactures these parts, they can't sell them to anyone but Bobcat. So you guessed it...Bobcat jacks the price up and and the people who buy Bobcat end up paying for it.

I have done some research on this a while back and I think it is close , if anyone could do an after OEM travel motor it would be The Travel Motor Man , contactor service , 1800 763 9323 , 1909 689 2921 , somebody take over the search for the truth as I am getting tired of the Quest for knowledge , it's kinda like fishing was to me , when I was younger I caught a lot and didn't want to tell every one as people always tell someboby elese who tells another and so on it would crowded or sold out next time for me , as I got older I find it's ok to tell them the hot spot is this week and get rewarded with some fish from them on their way in for the advice of where they had the good trip at -----------------teach a man to fsh and he won't go hungry , show him all you spots and you might
