Bobcat skidsteers can take several different styles of rubber tracks.  Four common tread patterns are as follows:

  1. C-Lug

  2. Staggered Block

  3. Straight-Bar

  4. Multi-Bar

The C-Lug is a OEM Bobcat Rubber Track Skidsteer tread pattern and will be a smooth ride and is essentially a Staggered pad tread pattern with notches cut out to give it a 'C' look.

The Staggered Block is a very popular option as that is what most major brands including John Deere, Case, New Holland, John Deere, Volvo, Takeuchi, Gehl, Mustang and others use.  This is a very smooth riding tread and gives you comfortable ride on hard surfaces and very minimal ground disturbance on finished lawns, etc.

The Straight-Bar is an extremely aggressize option and is widely used in wet, muddy applications and other areas where you need maximum traction.  If you don't want to get stuck, this is the option for you.  However, if you need to go on hard surfaces, the ride will not be very smooth compared to the C-Lug and Staggered pad.

The Multi-Bar pattern is a smoother ride than the Straight-Bar and gives increased traction. Very popular for applications where you are going from loose material to hard surfaces constantly. You get a smooth ride on the hard surface, and excellent traction on loose ground. Also is extremely popular for snow removal.

Ever have a job where you couldn't get the maximum production out of your machine because of your tread pattern? Maybe you were slipping, or tearing up lawns, or unstable on hills, or whatever. You should consider replacing your existing tread pattern if you are unhappy with the performance of your current product.  Most Bobcat Skidsteers will have options on the rubber track tread patterns including the T180, T190, T200, T250, T300, T320, T870, 864, etc.
