Skid steer bogie wheel bearing life.

[77cruiser]

What's your typical bearing life hours? My PT30 has 980 hrs. & needs over half of them changed.

I sold my last Kubota with 1100 hours and it had pretty good condition original tracks.

Tracks are good & the front & rear idlers are good, just the bogies that are bad. The seals must be crap & let water in. The bearings aren't sealed.

would have guessed bearings in this application would be sealed, if they are not does it have a grease nipple? I would use sealed and de done with it

I would have thought sealed bearing would be the way to go. I bought 10 sealed ones to put in & 10 originals.
I doubt if I'll put enough hours on it now to have to change them again, old age is creeping in.

His rollers are a different setup from mine but my Kubota skid steer and cat dozer both have oil filled rollers.
