I am going to a seminar at our local Cat dealer Saturday adressing maintenance concerns and operational tips for making undercarriages last on rubber tracked machines.

Tone of owners as well as Cat engineers will be on hand to address questions pertaining to these relativley new machines. My own concerns are the cost of overhead recovery from a rubber track vs a skid steer. Two things are imperative to longevity on these machines. Track tension, and track alignment. I will further post what I gleaned from the seminar.
