I have had the problems with the tracks fixed. As I mentioned in another post, the importer her stuffed up and gave me wrong tracks, twice, which caused most of the problems.

I have also had many numerous problems. The most recent is a plastic drive plate for the hydraulics. The company that replaced it for me mentioned that you can expect to get around 1000hrs out of one. The problem is that you have to take the engine out to replace the $90 part.

ASV's are a fantastic machine, WHEN THEY ARE GOING. The maintenance costs are redicuously high compared to a skid steer.

I would like everyone that has a Posi Track machine to enquire as to the durability of the running gear and the replacement costs.

I estimate that in Aus it costs approx $7 per hour extra than a wheeled machine, plus down time to run a RC30, and more for a 50.

I am not the only one in my area complaining about the running costs of Posi Track machines. Even if you do everything right.

I estimate that every 2000 hours you will go through 1 x set of tracks, all wheels and bearings, sprocket drive rollers and maybe the entire sprocket drive including drive motors, 2 x hydraulic drive plate, etc, etc.
