How to Replace Tracks on Bobcat MT85

[@MikeSmith-nu9wt]

My owners manual recommended changing the drive gear when you install new tracks , I had to replace front and rear idler pulleys , both sides and gears on my narrow tracks replacement , on my 2021 mt100 1000 hours non marking tracks back ordered , with service , I did the work , 5500 dollars in parts . But my Bob is a beast ,I can't go without him ..he's best employee of the month , and that was his bonus for working hard

Cringe worthy parts total

[@seecesar]

Thank you for posting this! That music blew my eardrums. LOL... went from quiet to full blast.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

I was learning when I made this video

[@seecesar]

@@BeauEnterprisesInc The content is great. Hey, do those orange tracks not leave track marks on driveways? How did you like the performance?

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

@@seecesar no black marks but slight orange marks. I got the same amount of life out of them as I did the black ones it came with. I would’ve bought them again but orange wasn’t available this time around

[@seecesar]

@@BeauEnterprisesInc Thank you!

[@lawdogg149]

Great info. Thanks alot recommend turning down the volume on the music and up on the volume for talking.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Noted!

yo My g. your video saved my ass tonight. 100% thanks for the love of sharing . this video saved me on time$$$stress& headache. one love bro

[@johnlehmann3320]

I watched this the first time I lost one of my tracks. Super helpful! I have a bad track keeps coming off, have it down to a science now. Super easy just tedious with the tensioner.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Glad to hear this helped you!

[@CountrysideStrong]

Your best video yet. Lol when you're trying to talk and he's yelling "cut, cut" in the background......🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BAKERHUSKIE]

I should've done some grooves with the knife on the old ones. Good video man. I don't have one,but learning in case I ever own one.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

RG Tree Service I’m happy to see they have made some improvements to the undercarriage on there new model the MT100. They changed to a sealed idler, and roller system rather than needing to grease them. Hopefully they will switch it to grease tenisioner next

I recommend you to get a 4 into 1 front bucket very versatile thank you for the video

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

good idea

[@Bbspringer]

Angle impact will make this job sweet

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

It’s on order!

[@yesiritzPatthana1]

Where did you order those tracks from?

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

These I got from bobcat. Most other tracks I get from the TrackHutt

[@DanielMartinez-rv6su]

Can I put wide tracks on my narrow track bobcat?

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Not without a spacer plate

[@DanielMartinez-rv6su]

@@BeauEnterprisesInc where could I find more info? Accidentally bought wide tracks and return shipping is absurd so I figure I may as well convert if possible.

[@tinman7342]

The lube rodeo is bad enough ....think I'll pass on the track replacement when the time comes. Love the machine so far ....good video

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Such a pain

[@kristoferkristovich916]

What brand tracks are those?

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Bobcat

[@k9sgarage301]

how tight should the tracks be

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

the large frame machine says 1/2" of slack

[@MikeSmith-nu9wt]

The plate that he takes off first has two notches that fit in the grooves along the side of the track , 114mm if I remember correctly , that piece is precut for track tension it fits in the notches in that slot , to check tension , not very well , they seem short , but I picked that up from my mt100 manual

[@ggggtech75]

Great info on how to change the tracks! Make sure to grease those rollers regularly, I have seen some really badly worn roller shafts and even worn insides of rollers from the MT lineup.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

They are such a pain to grease. I’m glad to see the MT100 has sealed rollers. Wondering if they can be retrofit on the the MT85

[@Trackhoe075]

Watched 3 other videos and they never had to pull roller strange you had to lol

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Strange

[@KevinWta]

The music was too loud and the rest of the audio is too soft. I had to keep adjusting the volume , Otherwise very informative.

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Noted, one of the first videos I made. Trying to improve

[@garetpierce5759]

This whole process seems pretty tedious. There's gotta be some higher tech skids that make it easier

[@BeauEnterprisesInc]

Some points where a pain in the ass for sure. It would’ve been easier with a grease tensioner rather than the threaded one. Someone said you don’t have to remove the rear roller to change them but I had no other way to do it
