I would like to purchase a set of over the tire tracks for my bcat S250. What is the best set for the money?
That machine has the lowest center of gravity I have ever seen on a skidsteer. That is what I need. LOL, For some reason, my nerves go crazy if I get my S250 out of level. It feels like it is about to rollIf your talking metal tracks, I've run Grouser brand. Not quite the flotation of the "plate type" (Loegering) has but i believe much more traction. They'll turn your S 250 onto a whole different beast.

Been awhile, but I saw it first hand 20 years back when a farmer left my field with 2 feet deep ruts perpendicular to the grade. Like I had 25 dams in my field. We had two machines. The only one that could go in there was the one with tracks. But I assume they are better now, more options, better quality and install friendly. I was wondering.... do they have any advantage to a machine that has tracks. I have always wished I had a track machine, but that deal did not fall in my lap like the tire unit did. My intent is not entirely traction. It is for getting through a wet spot without leaving ruts. I recently got new shoes. My machine had the Hudgedson rims and tires. They are heavvvvvy. I weighted one once. Around 350 if I recallbldr. They seriously change the nature (and ability) of your machine. You'll wonder how you ever got by without them in soils that are the slightest bit wet or "clayish". They will also add about 1200# of weight down low for added stability. The only noticeable side effect that I've noticed is extended tire wear! PapaP, No machine issues at all. I've had that brand on a JD & NH machines, all with no troubles.
