The Significance of Front Idlers in Your Undercarriage
Engineered for Guidance & Robust Support
On machines equipped with them, front idlers are vital guiding components in the undercarriage system of your Bobcat MT85 Mini Excavator. Typically located at the front of the track frame, often opposite the sprocket or in conjunction with it, their primary functions are to guide the track smoothly, assist in maintaining proper track tension, and provide support to the track assembly.

They are built with durable bearings and effective sealing systems to withstand operational stresses, resist wear, and protect against contamination, ensuring reliable performance in demanding work environments.

Front Idlers & Your Skid Steer’s Undercarriage System
The front idler (when present) guides the track at the front of the undercarriage.
Understanding Front Idler Function
The front idler on your Bobcat MT85 Mini Excavator (when a distinct component from the sprocket) provides a crucial point of contact and guidance for the track at the front of the machine. It ensures a smooth transition for the track as it moves towards or away from the sprocket.
The condition of your front idlers can significantly impact:
- Track Wear: A worn or damaged front idler can cause premature or uneven wear on the track.
- Track Alignment & Stability: Essential for keeping the track properly seated on the undercarriage frame.
- Overall Undercarriage Health: Failure of a front idler can lead to increased stress and wear on other components.
Regularly inspect your front idlers for signs of wear on the running surface, any damage to the flanges, or issues with bearing rotation. Prompt replacement of worn front idlers is important for preventing more extensive undercarriage problems and ensuring your Bobcat MT85 Mini Excavator operates reliably and efficiently.
