ok I have an answer about this, we have a tracked cat skidsteer, and let me tell you in is a great little machine ( 257B ) I have tried most all of the other tracked ones and i`ll never go back to another brand, cats tracks have a torsion suspension built into them so on a hard surface they ride nice and smooth, try taking a bobcat across a road or a parking lot, they vibrate so bad it feels like there gonna fall apart, the tracks are thin but we have almost 1000 hrs on ours and it has been good so far, a friend of mine has one with 1200 + hrs onthe orignal tracks and still going strong, the only problem we have had is the bogie wheels bearing have issues, but there is a company making aftermarket ones that are a little cheaper then cat, As for a compact excavator I wouldn`t have anything other then a kubota, got one love it, tried alomst all the other brands, and the kubota wins hands down, 1800 + hrs I think we have put it threw a good workout and it hasn`t let me down yet. so not everyone likes all cat small stuff, I only like the tracked skidsteers, kubota compact excavators, komatsu bigger excavators, cat loaders, or maybe komatsu , older cat dozers, new komatsu dozers, love our case 850 dozer, hate our JD 450d dozer LOL
