Product Description
Which Width Is Right for Your T590?
- Factory-installed width on most T590s
- Lower tension on rollers → longer undercarriage life
- Best for hard surfaces: concrete, asphalt, packed gravel
- Better maneuverability in tight spaces
- SKU: B320x86x49NMSB-BTT590
- Distributes T590's 8,000 lb weight over a larger footprint
- Reduces psi → less lawn & turf damage
- Ideal for soft/wet ground, mud, landscaping work
- Larger footprint absorbs more impact — softer ride on rough terrain
- SKU: B400x86x49NMSB-BTT590
Not sure which to choose? Most T590s leave the factory with 320mm tracks, but both widths install on the same undercarriage without modification. Or just call us at 800-966-6640 and tell us your machine — we'll match you in 30 seconds.
Non-Marking Split Bar Tread — Is It Right for Your Work?
| Pattern | Best Used For |
|---|---|
| C-Lug | Mixed terrain · grading · site work · on/off road · concrete & dirt |
| Block | General purpose · hardpack · dirt · long pavement runs |
| Z-Lug | Steep grades · snow · ice · maximum traction applications |
| Bar | Flat terrain · large ground contact · stability on firm surfaces |
| Split Bar | Bidirectional traction · shock absorption · smooth ride on varied ground |
| Q-Tread | Multi-directional traction · good all-around performance |
| Turf | Lawns · landscaping · minimal ground disturbance |
Standard black rubber versions also available. See standard patterns →
The Non-Marking Split Bar combines the bidirectional traction and smooth ride of the Split Bar pattern with a white rubber compound that won't mark finished surfaces. Perfect for indoor construction, renovations on existing floors, and warehouse environments where both traction and surface protection matter. Seven standard patterns and two non-marking options are available — see the full selection at the bottom of this page.
Know Your Machine: Bobcat T590 Undercarriage Facts
The T590 is Bobcat's mid-range vertical-lift CTL — sitting between the T550 and T630 in the 500 series. At ~8,000 lbs operating weight with a 2,100 lb rated operating capacity, it puts approximately 5.1–5.7 psi ground pressure on standard 320mm tracks. Here's what that means for your track purchase:
What's Inside the Track
| Component | Specification | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Iron Cores | Drop-forged steel embeds · pitch-spaced | Maintain track shape · resist deformation under load · engage sprocket cleanly |
| Steel Cords | Acid-washed · continuous cord layer | Carry tensile load · prevent stretching · hold pitch dimension over time |
| Rubber Compound | Non-marking white rubber · premium compound | Won't leave black marks on finished surfaces · same durability as standard |
| Non-Marking Split Bar Tread | White rubber compound, no black marks | Split bar pattern for bidirectional traction. Premium compound for sensitive surfaces. |
| Lug Height | ~1" nominal new depth | Replace when worn below ⅓ remaining (~⅓") — traction loss accelerates past that point |
Is It Time to Replace Your T590's Tracks?
| What You're Seeing | What It Means | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Exposed steel cords | Carcass worn through — moisture will corrode cords | Replace immediately |
| Flat or missing lugs | Tread depth below ⅓ of original 1" — traction loss | Plan replacement soon |
| Track won't hold tension | Carcass has stretched beyond adjuster range | Replace track · inspect adjuster |
| Cracks around guide bars | Aging rubber · UV damage · abrasive turning | Monitor closely, plan replacement |
| Track jumping off | Tension too loose OR guide bar/idler damage | Check tension first · inspect guide bars |
At ~8,000 lb operating weight the T590 accelerates track wear faster than lighter machines. On abrasive surfaces (concrete, asphalt), expect 1,200–1,500 hours from quality replacement tracks. Soft-ground or dirt-only work can extend this considerably.
Track Dimensions
| Size | Width | Pitch | Links | SKU |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 320mm Width (320×86×49) | 320mm (12.6") | 86mm | 49 | B320x86x49NMSB-BTT590 |
| 400mm Width (400×86×49) | 400mm (15.7") | 86mm | 49 | B400x86x49NMSB-BTT590 |
