Replacement Rubber Tracks and Undercarriage for Kubota Mini Excavators


Prowler MFG has hundreds of replacement rubber tracks for Kubota Mini Excavators in stock .  Prowler uses OEM specifications on all models of rubber tracks for the newer style Kubota machines. The undercarriage of the newer machines requires a significantly different style of rubber track than others.  These undercarriages have "outside flange" rollers designed to ride on the lower shoulder area rather than up on the top side of the embedded steel bar.  It is crucial when purchasing a new rubber track or a set of tracks, that you receive a properly engineered product.  The outside flange track design is important for the newer machines as the larger outer flanges help prevent de-tracking. This is especially important if your Kubota mini excavator is equipped with an angle back fill blade.  When back filling freshly dug holes or trenches with the blade angled, the machine will naturally be forced the opposite direction of the of the blade angle. The large flanges on the outside drop lower than a standard roller thus making it harder for the lower rollers to become unaligned with the rail of the rubber track. Here is a short list of Kubota Excavator models that will require this type of track. Some gray market mini excavators may not be listed:

  • KX71-3, KX91-3, KX121-3, KX161-3, U35-3, U45-3

A standard "interchangeable" rubber track that fits many machines is good for the supplier.  It costs less to stock a few tracks than it does to stock hundreds of different models.  Although it may cost the consumer less to purchase initially, it will cost more over time.  Over time, using the "interchangeable" style track without the outer flange style metal cross bars will cause damage and premature failure of both the track and undercarriage. After the rubber is worn down, the exposed shoulders of the metal bars will be much narrower and in most cases rounded on the top. This situation will cause massive vibration and unwanted wear on not the just on tracks and undercarriage but the entire machine.  Prowler offers many parts for Kubota Excavators such bottom track rollers, top carrier rollers, sprockets, and front idlers.  OEM quality with lower prices is a winning combination.  So when looking  to purchase aftermarket rubber tracks or undercarriage for your Kubota mini excavator, know that Prowler is your number 1 source for OEM specification rubber tracks and undercarriage.  Call 877-477-6953 and speak with a customer representative or purchase your Kubota rubber tracks online from Prowler
