Turf Tread — Is It Right for Your Work?
| Pattern | Best Used For |
|---|---|
| S Bar | Firm ground · general purpose · smooth surfaces · packed gravel |
| T Lug | Mixed terrain · compact machine applications · on/off road · versatile grip |
| Block | General purpose · hardpack · dirt · long pavement runs |
| Turf ✔ | Lawns · landscaping · minimal ground disturbance |
| C-Lug | Mixed terrain · grading · site work · on/off road · concrete & dirt |
The Turf pattern is purpose-built for operators working on finished lawns, golf courses, sports fields, or any surface where ground disturbance must be minimized. The low-profile tread reduces turf tear during turns and leaves a lighter footprint than any lug or bar pattern. Not designed for aggressive digging or muddy conditions. See all available patterns at the bottom of this page.
Know Your Machine: Bobcat MT55 Undercarriage Facts
The MT55 is Bobcat's entry-level stand-on mini track loader — narrow enough to fit through standard doorways at under 36 inches wide. At 2,610 lbs with 4.9 psi ground pressure on standard 180mm tracks, it leaves a minimal footprint on turf and finished surfaces. The 550 lb rated operating capacity makes it effective for moving mulch, soil, and light materials in confined spaces. 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 |
| Turf Tread | Low-profile tread for minimal ground disturbance | Reduces turf damage. Lightest footprint of any pattern. |
| Lug Height | ~1" nominal new depth | Replace when worn below ⅓ remaining — traction loss accelerates past that point |
Is It Time to Replace Your MT55'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 2,610 lbs operating weight the MT55 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
