Product Description
Which Width Is Right for Your 864?
- Factory-installed width on most 864s
- Lower tension on rollers → longer undercarriage life
- Best for hard surfaces: concrete, asphalt, packed gravel
- Better maneuverability in tight spaces
- SKU: B320X86X52SB-BT864
- Distributes 864's ~8,080 lbs 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: B400X86X52SB-BT864
- Width option: 450mm
- Fits Bobcat 864
- SKU: B450X86X52SB-BT864
Not sure which to choose? Most 864s leave the factory with 320mm tracks, but all 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.
Split Bar Tread — Is It Right for Your Work?
| Pattern | Best Used For |
|---|---|
| Bar | Flat terrain · large ground contact · stability on firm surfaces |
| Block | General purpose · hardpack · dirt · long pavement runs |
| C-Lug | Mixed terrain · grading · site work · on/off road · concrete & dirt |
| Q-Tread | Multi-directional traction · good all-around performance |
| Split Bar ✔ | Bidirectional traction · shock absorption · smooth ride on varied ground |
| Turf | Lawns · landscaping · minimal ground disturbance |
| Z-Lug | Steep grades · snow · ice · maximum traction applications |
Non-marking white rubber also available. See non-marking options →
The Split Bar pattern is engineered for operators who need reliable traction in both forward and reverse. The split design flexes more than a solid bar, improving ground contact and absorbing vibration on uneven terrain. A good middle ground between the smooth ride of a bar pattern and the grip of a lug pattern. See all available patterns at the bottom of this page.
Know Your Machine: Bobcat 864 Undercarriage Facts
The 864 is one of Bobcat's classic radial-lift CTLs — produced from 1999–2003 and the direct predecessor to the T200, a dependable mid-size workhorse for general contracting and site work. At ~8,080 lbs operating weight with a 2,000 lb rated operating capacity, it puts approximately ~5.5 psi ground pressure on standard 450mm 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 | Wear-resistant · premium bonding agent | Protects cords from moisture · bonds all layers · absorbs impact on hard surfaces |
| Split Bar Tread | Split bar flexes for better ground contact | Equal traction forward and reverse. Absorbs shock and vibration. |
| Lug Height | ~1" nominal new depth | Replace when worn below ⅓ remaining — traction loss accelerates past that point |
Is It Time to Replace Your 864'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 ~8,080 lbs operating weight the 864 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 (320×86×52) | 320mm (12.6") | 86mm | 52 | B320X86X52SB-BT864 |
| 400mm Width (400×86×52) | 400mm (15.7") | 86mm | 52 | B400X86X52SB-BT864 |
| 450mm Width (450×86×52) | 450mm (17.7") | 86mm | 52 | B450X86X52SB-BT864 |
