REPLACEMENT TRACKS--Bobcat Company, West Fargo, N.D., announces the launch of two new replacement rubber track patterns for compact track loaders. The new Bobcat Multi-Bar Lug (MBL) and EarthForce Bar Lug replacement rubber tracks provide loaders with traction and operator comfort. Uniformly wound cables and the elimination of connection points help to create a durable track. When compared to traditional tread patterns, the new Bobcat MBL track has a greater number of tread lugs per foot, which enables a softer, smoother ride. The new tread pattern minimizes vibration, thus increasing the longevity of the undercarriage parts and improving operator comfort. The expanded steel-link forgings provide the machine with greater stability, allowing for a wider steel cable belt and increasing the strength of the tracks. For more information, call a local Bobcat dealership, or visit www.bobcat.com/trackparts.

SUPPLEMENTATION--The full line of CRYSTALYX supplements are now available in the 200-pound CRYSTALYX Plastic Barrel from Ridley Block Operations, Mankato, Minn. While these barrels still need to be collected, they do not have to be returned to the dealership. Distance from a dealership can result in increased shipping costs, so weight can also be a key element. The lighter plastic barrels represent an economical handling solution for producers without sacrificing durability. CRYSTALYX products are also available in the durable 250-pound returnable steel barrel and the biodegradable BioBarrel. For more information, call a local CRYSTALYX dealer, or visit www.crystalyx.com.
