When to Replace Cat® Rubber Tracks on Mini Excavators

Rubber tracks are the foundation of your mini hydraulic excavator. In this video, we'll explore wear indicators and how to know when it’s time for replacement.

Underfoot conditions, or the material you’re working in, are big factors in track wear. You’re more likely to see premature wear in abrasive conditions.

A properly adjusted track helps maximize life, and, of course, productivity. So make sure your track is not too loose or too tight.
