Hey guys,
Well, for anyone that has a John Deere 8410t track tractor, have you ever had the tracks break on it. If so, does it have some sort of sensor that will stop the tractor imediatly? The tracks on ours are about to break and the are brand new so dad doesnt want to get new ones. Any help will be appreciated.

I'd be looking into warranty for almost new tracks. And as far as I know, no, there is no sensor, however, you will notice it instantly.

From what I have heard they aren't much fun to change in the field when you run them off. Neighbor has one. Those tracks are some heavy chunks of rubber.

Thanks for the help guys. Dad was thinking on warranty but a guy from OK-Track Solutions came out and said they looked fine when they are starting to rip so no warranty on em. I guess keep my feet on the clutch and brake.

This just sounds fishy & that y'all got yanked around. Idk bout y'all, but if it were me SWHTF and if they were really an issue of tearing I wouldn't be running it until fixed

no tracked machine to my knowledge has a "thrown track sensor" although they MIGHT have a pressure switch on the tensioning cylinder seeing as how most rubber tracked machines use hydraulic pressure to keep them taught anymore
if the dealer is blowing smoke go over thier head and call a corporate rep because ive seen alot of this on numerous products

i cant imagine it would be very timely or easy to get a new track on a tractor after its ripped in the field, the track on the t300 bobcat we rented this winter came off, and we were 20ft from the barn. It took me and dad about 2 hrs to get back on and going again.

It took me and dad about 2 hrs to get back on and going again. bobcats are easy light and 1-2 guys can manhandle those tracks around the tracks on any ag tractor are no joke and built to take the abuse of normal wear and tear usually a few guys and a skidloader, tractor loader, crane on a service truck, or forklift are needed to do the heavy work plus you have to detension the cylinder that keeps the tight plus remove all outer drive wheel bogey wheels and front idler wheels |

At work we pulled the track off a quad track... we used a forklift to lift it and move it around.
