How much life is left?
These are on my 500 quad track that I use for tillage on my 1600 acres. How much life is left in them? What do I put on next? Only thing I have heard is 32 inch Firestones are pretty good and $2000 a piece less than basically any 36inch.

Try contacting D & S tire in West Point Nebraska. I had issues with a couple of my tracks this spring and just barely got by. If I would have ordered new ones from the dealer, I would still be waiting for them. Instead after we finish planting in early May I brought my Old tracks to them, for cores, and picked up new/refurbished tracks. I think they are just as good or better than new ones and t...
I would start looking now, but you should be able to get through next spring if they are starting to split. When you have 3 or more missing in a row, then it will be urgent.
See if your local tire/track dealer has used ones laying around. At 1600 acres per year, used ones may last you a while depending on how much abuse they take from the type of tillage you do.
Yes as soon as they fall off I’m they all go really fast
If tracks are hard to come by, and you will need them in the spring, I would definitely order new ones!
They could well go awhile, but if they don't, you probably can't afford to have NO tractor!
They’ll go for awhile as long as you don’t have multiple missing in a row

What's awhile?
Time to replace.
I know our tracks aren't a whole lot better, but our case mechanic said if you run them too long they will roll off the track frame. Out or in. And if it rolls in then there goes your hood and youve got to cut it off.
