Mini Digger Tracks

[Matthew Storrs]

Hi Steve,

 

No need to change sprockets unless they are worn, my Tak is on 4500hrs and all undercarriage wear parts are original- last year i put a new set of camoplast on and these seem pretty durable- had some on an older digger too and they were good.

Thanks Mathew. That's going some... the track guides on mine have worn pretty thin so I'm gonna replace those. The sprockets look healthy though so that should save a few £'s.

cheers, steve

Oh yes, forgot about those track guide plates on the TB016. I wore mine right through when I had one. I think they were pretty cheap to replace if I recall- bigger machines go on to a roller on the top instead, which IMO makes more sense- not sure why they can't put one on the 1.5tonners.

Volvo dealer told me yesterday that he had sold a few 2.5tonners to a civil works company (working pretty much day and night) and they have clocked up 10 and 12000 hours each- they are maintained to the highest standards but shows that small diggers can do big hours if looked after right.
