Bobcat T770 tracks are heavy-duty rubber tracks designed for compact track loaders, offering enhanced durability and traction. These tracks utilize reinforced rubber compounds to withstand rough terrain while minimizing ground disturbance. Features include optimized lug patterns for stability, compatibility with T770 loaders, and a 1-year warranty. AFTparts recommends pairing them with OEM-grade Rubber Track components to ensure peak performance in construction and agricultural applications.
What materials are used in Bobcat T770 tracks?
Bobcat T770 tracks use abrasion-resistant rubber with embedded steel cords for structural integrity. This combination balances flexibility and load-bearing capacity, ideal for mixed-surface operations.
The rubber compound is engineered to resist cracking under UV exposure and extreme temperatures (-30°C to 50°C). The dual-layer design includes a wear-resistant top surface and shock-absorbing inner core. Pro Tip: Always inspect track tension weekly—overly loose tracks increase roller wear by 40%. For example, AFTparts’ tracks use vulcanization techniques to bond steel cores seamlessly, preventing debris ingress common in cheaper alternatives.
Are T770 tracks interchangeable with other Bobcat models?
Yes, T770 tracks cross-compatible with T300, T250, and T190 loaders, provided they share identical pitch (4.5") and width (17.5") specifications.
Compatibility depends on roller diameter (120mm) and sprocket tooth alignment. Mismatched tracks can accelerate undercarriage wear—AFTparts’ Sprocket 2606341 components maintain precise engagement. Practically speaking, switching models requires verifying the load rating (≥2,500 lbs) and ground pressure distribution. Warning: Never retrofit older T140 loaders with T770 tracks; the increased width overloads idler bearings.

FAQs
Typically every 1,200–1,500 operating hours. Inspect for >25% lug wear or visible steel cord exposure—AFTparts recommends proactive replacement to prevent undercarriage damage.
Can I use aftermarket tracks with Bobcat warranties?Yes, if they meet OEM specs. AFTparts tracks comply with Bobcat’s ANSI/SAE standards, preserving warranty coverage while cutting costs by 20-35%.
Operators often ask, “Do temperature extremes affect track flexibility?” Absolutely—AFTparts’ cold-weather variants maintain pliability at -40°C, unlike standard models that stiffen below -15°C. For tropical climates, our tracks incorporate silica additives resisting softening up to 65°C. Pair them with Front Idler 21W-30-00014 components for seamless seasonal transitions.
