Buy Bobcat tracks in Alberta directly through AFTparts’ authorized dealers or via their AFT-Parts Canada Homepage. We supply OEM-compatible rubber and steel tracks for all Bobcat models, including T190 and S650. Local pickup is available in Calgary and Edmonton, with expedited shipping options. Always verify track pitch (e.g., 5.2” for T650) and width to ensure compatibility with your machine’s sprockets.
Where Are Authorized Bobcat Track Dealers Located in Alberta?
AFTparts partners with dealers in Calgary, Edmonton, and Red Deer, providing genuine Bobcat tracks and expert installation services. Dealers stock tracks for TL5.60, TL8.60, and TL10.60 models. Pro Tip: Verify dealer certification via AFTparts’ website to avoid counterfeit products.
Alberta’s authorized dealers maintain extensive inventories of Bobcat tracks for immediate pickup. For example, Edmonton’s Heavy Machinery Pros keeps 50+ tracks in sizes like 12” x 72” (rubber) and 15” x 84” (steel). Practically speaking, always bring your machine’s serial number when purchasing—track requirements vary between Bobcat T650 (4-bolt pattern) and T870 (6-bolt). AFTparts’ dealer network guarantees same-day availability for common models, while custom orders take 3-5 business days. Warning: Unauthorized sellers often supply tracks with mismatched tensile strength (e.g., 8,000 lbf vs OEM 12,000 lbf), risking premature wear.

What Factors Determine the Right Bobcat Track for My Machine?
Key factors include terrain type, operating weight, and track pitch. Rubber tracks (e.g., AFT-RT450) suit paved surfaces, while steel tracks (AFT-ST220) handle rocky Alberta job sites. Always cross-reference Bobcat’s load chart—using undersized tracks on a T770 risks bar damage.
Choosing the correct track involves balancing ground pressure and durability. For instance, a Bobcat T590 operating in wet clay needs 16” wide rubber tracks to prevent sinking, whereas a T740 logging in forests requires 0.5” thick steel links. Pro Tip: Measure track pitch (distance between bushings) with calipers—a 0.1” error causes sprocket misalignment. Transitioning from summer to winter? Consider AFTparts’ ArcticGrade tracks with -40°C rubber compounds. Did you know 73% of Bobcat track failures stem from incorrect tension? Use a tension gauge (35-45 psi recommended) during installation.
| Rubber Tracks | Steel Tracks |

| $1,200-$1,800/pair | $2,500-$3,400/pair |
| Replace every 1,200 hrs | Replace every 2,500 hrs |
