Its time to replace at least one track on my kubota mini ex. Got a 1400 $ quote from the dealer and am hoping to find them cheaper any one know of an aftermarket source?

Go to Rock and Dirt and subscribe to their monthly magazine. There are a number of advertisers in there that specialize in rubber track replacement. I tried using their search engine but couldn't get any listings, but I know there are ads in print.

Scott:

At present, there are only two manufacturers of rubber tracks. One if I am not mistaken is Toyo, and I am not sure about the other. If you can go through a rubber dealr, and leave the equipment dealer out of it, you will most likely find the parts for less. There is also a publican called "Compact Equipment" and in it are several aftermarket manufacturers of goodies. I will let you know if I see a track manufacturer.

update: track finally blew out. I was heading to kubota dealer to pick up the 1400 dollar track they had in stock when to my amazement equipment trader mag was in my po box. Called three companies got price quotes of 340 and 350.but had to wait 4-6 weeks. Third co. had one in stock but had to go thru there "middle man" got the track coming in 3-4 days for 528 plus shipping and tax. Unfortunately I don't have phone numbers in front of me or I would post them for future ref. But if ya need one give me a shout and i will get you the digits

Check with local tire dealers. There's one in my area that sells bridgestone tracks, skid steer tires and also fills tires. His tire prices are about the same as anywhere else but the tracks are much lower than oem prices.
