There are some things you should know about operating a compact track loader. According to Operation Efficiency: Pro Tips for Operating a Compact Track Loader by Compact Equipment, you might be prematurely wearing out your tracks and undercarriage. These are the main takeaways:
- Don’t spin in circles on concrete like you can with a skid steer- it eats up your tracks
- Use traction to fill your bucket, not ramming motions like with a skid steer which can wear on the tracks as well
- Keep your pressure on your undercarriage vertical whenever possible by avoiding riding sideways across slopes, etc. to extend the life of your undercarriage parts
- Clean your undercarriage and tracks after every use to prevent buildup
