I refrained from comment until I was able to digest what this innovation brings. Most innovations offer significant value for the business you’re in. I just struggle to see how this makes any more money for those who invest in it. It’s certainly very cool and probably more comfortable, bit I look at these as a headache rather than an advantage. Good to test out the waters, and maybe it will lead to some real innovation, but I don’t see it here yet.
Interesting. Looks just like a close copy of the QTS-quad track system that Loegering/ASV was putting on the Genies. Question...What's the MSRP of a S76+ the cost of quad tracks versus just buying the equivalent straight up CTL? I remember Loegering marketing the fact that people would just switch back and forth between their VTS system and tires, but nobody ended up switching back and forth.
Might make grading more difficult. I didn't see this demo machine doing any real work. Need to flatten out an area, load a truck, scoup out of a pile, make a pile. This driver just rolled back and forth looking busy....but doing absolutely nothing.
Yea, sucks for someone who actually wants to use it for work and they show no benefits to installing these. For $12K u can just switch ur tires to full tracks. For $3500 u can just add the OTT to ur wheeled skid steer which is probably even better than this option.
Stll looking for these for my S70

Skid steer + right tracks humm 👌
Do you know if these are backward with other older bobcat models?
So when will Case IH be suing them?

Only make sense on an all wheel steer how about an A86 bobcat😉
make sure to add a crab function while you're at it
Careful. Tracwheels and sprocket components..will cost you..and hydrologic pumps will be under rating operating pressure causing pump problemms
Do they really cost around $10,000 each so $40,000 for a skid steer?
At that price I don’t see anyone buying these. I could just buy me a trac machine for that outrageous cost
Can't wait till harbor freight sells them.
I'll just take a standard tracked skid steer. I don't call them compact track loaders. No one does lol

Electric slip loaders will be the future trend. The YUCHAI electric slip loader can work continuously for 7 hours on a 90-minute charge.
Track machines are nice but who wants to pay for them
TRACKS ARE NOT SMOOTHER RIDING
