Ouch! still nearly 2 years for a rubber track isn't bad did you change both of them or just the one . I changed one then quickly did the other as I was getting pi++ed off going round in circles due to different tread depths.
Can't see it from my house

We are well known for wearing out our tracks - not through cuts/digs/splits!

Out Takeuchi TB135 is over 3 years old and is still on it's original tracks. Getting a little 'flat' now but perfectly serviceable!

Local plant outfit can't believe how long we get them to last!

The wire strand split so it was just held together with the rubber. The other one is fine-ish. I'll see how it tracks before putting my hand in my pocket again! The kubota dealer wanted £25 to take old one away! Needless to say it went in the job skip.
