I have been looking into sourcing a set of over the tire tracks for my 453/463 Bobcat. I haven't seen anything available yet. Thought I'd ask here before I call the dealer. They don't always have the end say as to what is available for their own products. Keep in mind that there are two different tire sizes and wheels available for this machine. Looking for chains too.

Thanks in advance!
 
If you have the 10 x 16.5 tires, my friend has a set of loggering tracks with spacers for sale for $650. They are almost brand new.
 
have you tried search tempest for craigs list. You enter your zip and how many mile you want it to search and it gives you hits for every city on craigs list with in that distance...

one tip make sure you uncheck ebay unless you want it to search there too.

Call all the equip dealers in the area, I have found that the larger ones always have old stuff on their lots, of course they steer you to the knew stuff, but I bet if you asked around, you may find them. I would also put a "wanted" add on Craigslist, I know some guys who have done that and ended up buying stuff off farmers. I bought a set of forks from our Bobcat dealer for 200, they where old and the rack was beat up, a torch and a big hammer fixed that, painted the carriage and they worked great. Too bad I sold all my attachments when I was called back in!
I am looking for a set myself. I had a 873 w/tire tracks and then a T200 track machine. The 873 did better in sloppy mud and snow. Seemed the 200 could never get its footing in the snow. I have a Case 60XT now, and new tracks are about 1500
 
Grouser Steel Skid Loader Tracks, good condition. Came off a Bobcat 763, will fit many others with little adjustment. Fit 10-16.5 tires. $650 cash, includes wheel spacers.

I copied the above from his craigslist ad. He has pics. Just email him and he will send them to you. His email is [email protected] His name is paul.

I always use searchtempest for searching Craigslist. For a company that's so big and successful it's highly embarrassing that they have such a horrible search engine. Fortunately for us there is a good third party solution.
